Andrew Johnson's Euphoric Moment: Sealing Birmingham City's Promotion with Playoff Final Penalty (12-05-2002) This iconic photograph captures the moment of pure elation and relief on the face of Andrew Johnson as he jumps on the back of his teammate Darren Carter following the youngster's clinching penalty kick in the 2001-02 Nationwide League Division One playoff final against Norwich City. The image was taken on May 12,2002, at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Birmingham City, a historically underperforming team in English football, had fought their way through the playoffs after finishing the regular season in fourth place, just outside the automatic promotion spots. The pressure was immense as they faced Norwich City, who had finished third, in the two-leg final. The first leg ended in a goalless draw, setting up a tense and nerve-wracking second leg. With the score still level in the second half, Johnson stepped up to take a penalty, awarded for a foul on Lee Hughes. The weight of the world seemed to be on his shoulders as he approached the spot, but he calmly dispatched the ball past the Norwich goalkeeper, sending the Birmingham City fans into raptures. Johnson's goal put Birmingham City in the lead, and they held on to secure promotion to the Premier League. The photograph encapsulates the raw emotion and excitement of the moment, with Johnson's jubilant celebration a testament to the team's hard work and determination throughout the season. Barry Coombs, the photographer, captured this iconic moment in Birmingham City's history, immortalizing it in this stunning photograph. The image remains a cherished memory for the club's fans and a reminder of the thrill of promotion to the top flight of English football.
