EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Paul Hazlewood during the EFL Sky Bet Championship match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Aston Villa at the American Express Community Stadium on the 18th of November, 2016, the spirit of football and remembrance come together in a poignant moment. The game, which saw Brighton and Hove Albion take on Aston Villa, was just one of many exciting encounters in the 2016-17 Championship season. The atmosphere inside the stadium was electric, with both sets of fans eagerly anticipating the action on the pitch. However, as the teams took to the field, the focus shifted from the impending battle on the pitch to a more somber and important cause. In observance of Remembrance Day, a wreath adorned with poppies was placed on the center circle, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made by veterans and their families. As the players observed a moment of silence, the significance of the occasion was not lost on the footballers, who took a moment to pay their respects. In this powerful image, we see Aston Villa's captain, Tommy Elphick, laying a hand on the wreath, his teammates standing respectfully behind him. The contrast of the green grass and the red poppies creates a striking visual, one that encapsulates the essence of this important tradition. This poignant moment serves as a reminder that football is more than just a game, it's a community that comes together to celebrate the joys and sorrows of life. And on this day, the Brighton and Hove Albion and Aston Villa communities came together to honor the past and look towards the future.
