EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph captured by renowned sports photographer Nick Potts during the 2002-03 football season, the tension and excitement of the Worthington Cup third round match between Birmingham City and Preston North End unfolds at St. Andrew's Stadium. The image focuses on Craig Fagan of Preston North End, who is celebrating his team's second goal against the Premiership side. The atmosphere inside St. Andrew's that day was electric, as the underdogs from Preston North End sought to upset the odds against their more illustrious opponents. Fagan's goal in the 51st minute, sandwiched between a first-half strike from David Healy, put Preston in a commanding 2-0 lead and left Birmingham City reeling. The Worthington Cup, now known as the Carabao Cup, is one of the oldest domestic knockout competitions in English football, and this third-round clash was a classic example of the unpredictability and drama that the tournament is famous for. Despite Birmingham City's status as a top-flight team, Preston North End proved that they were more than a match for their opponents, and their victory served as a reminder that upsets can and do happen in football. Fagan's goal not only gave Preston a valuable lead but also provided a morale-boosting moment for the team and their fans. The photograph captures the pure joy and elation on Fagan's face as he celebrates with his teammates, while the expressions of disbelief and frustration on the faces of the Birmingham City players underscore the significance of the moment. This photograph is a testament to the passion, skill, and unpredictability of football, and it serves as a reminder of the thrilling encounters that can take place in the Worthington Cup.
