EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph captured by Richard Claypole during the Middlesbrough vs. Reading FA Barclays Premiership match on 24th February 2007, two esteemed figures in English football, Wally Downes and Gareth Southgate, share a light-hearted moment before the action unfolds on the pitch. Wally Downes, a former professional footballer and manager, is seen here in a relaxed conversation with Gareth Southgate, then the England international defender and future manager, as they stand together on the sidelines. The camaraderie between the two men is palpable, their focus on the game momentarily set aside in favor of a personal connection. Downes, who had managed Reading from 2002 to 2006, would have been well-acquainted with Southgate's talents, having seen him excel for Aston Villa and later England. Southgate, for his part, would have appreciated the guidance and support Downes had provided during his time at Reading. As the sun sets on the Riverside Stadium pitch, the two men exchange stories and reminisce about their experiences in the game they both love. The image encapsulates the sense of community and shared history that exists within football, as well as the enduring bonds that can be forged between players and managers. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human side of football, a side that often gets lost in the heat of competition and the relentless pursuit of victory. It serves as a testament to the friendships and connections that can be formed in the beautiful game, and the importance of cherishing these moments both on and off the field.
