EDITORS COMMENTS
In the thrilling 2002 Worthington Cup battle between Birmingham City and Preston North End at St. Andrew's, a pivotal moment in the game unfolded as Olivier Tebily outwitted Richard Cresswell with a brilliant piece of skill that left the Preston defender grasping at thin air. The image captures the essence of this crucial encounter, with Tebily (right) in the act of outmaneuvering Cresswell (left) in a tense and closely contested match. The French midfielder's agility, quick thinking, and deft footwork were on full display as he dribbled past the Preston defender, setting the stage for a potential goal-scoring opportunity. The Worthington Cup, which was then the secondary cup competition in English football, was a valuable prize for both teams. Birmingham City, who were then managed by Steve Bruce, were looking to add to their trophy cabinet, while Preston North End, under the guidance of Gary Peters, were determined to cause an upset. The atmosphere at St. Andrew's was electric, with the home fans urging their team on in their quest for victory. The tension was palpable, and every touch of the ball carried the weight of expectation. Tebily's moment of brilliance encapsulated the drama and excitement of the occasion, and it remains a fond memory for Birmingham City fans to this day. Mike Egerton's photograph perfectly captures the intensity and emotion of the moment, with Tebily's determined expression and Cresswell's look of disbelief adding to the visual impact. The image is a testament to the skill, passion, and unpredictability of football, and it serves as a reminder of the thrilling encounters that can unfold on the pitch.
