In this electrifying moment captured by Martin Rickett during the Nationwide Football League Division One match between Stockport County and Coventry City on August 11,2001, Coventry City's new signing, Lee Hughes, leaps over Stockport County's Colin Woodthorpe. The scene unfolds at Edgeley Park, Stockport, during the 2001-02 season. Hughes, a prolific striker who had recently joined Coventry City from West Bromwich Albion, is seen in mid-air, determined to outmaneuver his opponent and secure the ball. Woodthorpe, Stockport County's defender, attempts to thwart Hughes' advance with a well-timed challenge. However, Hughes' agility and athleticism allow him to clear the obstacle, leaving the Stockport County defense in his wake. The Nationwide Football League Division One was the second tier of English football at the time, and this game marked an important moment in Coventry City's season. Hughes' goal-scoring prowess would prove invaluable to the team, helping them to climb the league table and secure a respectable finish. Martin Rickett's photograph captures the intensity and excitement of the moment, with Hughes' focused expression and outstretched legs contrasting sharply with Woodthorpe's determined attempt to halt his progress. The image is a testament to the skill, determination, and athleticism required in professional football, and serves as a reminder of the thrilling matches that have taken place on the pitch over the years. This photograph is a treasured piece of Coventry City Football Club history, capturing a pivotal moment in the career of a beloved player and highlighting the passion and dedication of the sport.
