EDITORS COMMENTS
great photo capturing a memorable moment between two footballing legends, Vincent Kompany of Manchester City and Mikel Arteta of Everton, during the pre-match handshake before their Barclays Premier League encounter at The City of Manchester Stadium on December 13,2008. The image, taken by the skilled lens of Craig Brough, beautifully encapsulates the respect and sportsmanship that exists between players, even in the heat of competition. At the time, both Kompany and Arteta were key figures in their respective teams. Kompany, the charismatic Belgian central defender, had only recently joined Manchester City and was making a name for himself as a formidable presence at the back. Arteta, a Spanish midfielder, was a vital cog in Everton's midfield engine room, known for his creativity and passing abilities. Despite the intense rivalry between the two clubs, the pre-match formalities saw the pair exchange warm greetings, showcasing the camaraderie and mutual respect that exists between players, even when they're on opposing sides. Joleon Lescott, another English international defender, can also be seen in the background, adding to the intriguing tableau of this pre-match scene. This photo serves as a poignant reminder that, beneath the passion and intensity of the beautiful game, there is a shared love and respect for the sport and the opportunity to compete at the highest level.
