EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph taken by renowned sports photographer Mike Egerton on February 25,2001, Andrew Johnson of Birmingham City FC is seen celebrating after scoring the winning goal against Liverpool FC in the Worthington Cup Final. The image captures the raw emotion and excitement of the moment, as Johnson raises his arms in triumph and is surrounded by his jubilant teammates. The Worthington Cup, now known as the Carabao Cup, is one of the oldest domestic football competitions in England, with the first final taking place in 1892. Birmingham City had reached the final for the first time in their history, and the team was determined to make it a memorable occasion. Liverpool, who were the reigning champions of the Premier League at the time, were heavy favorites to win the cup. However, Birmingham City stunned the football world with a 1-0 victory, thanks to Johnson's late goal. The goal came in the 83rd minute, and it was a moment that would go down in history as one of the greatest upsets in English football. Johnson, who had joined Birmingham City the previous season, had scored 12 goals in all competitions for the team that year. However, it was his goal in the Worthington Cup Final that would become his most famous and memorable one. The photograph of Johnson's goal celebration is a testament to the team's spirit, determination, and the unexpected nature of football. The image has become a cherished memory for Birmingham City fans, and it serves as a reminder of the underdog story that unfolded that day at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. The photograph also highlights the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and the thrill of defying the odds in the beautiful game of football.
