In this evocative photograph taken by renowned sports photographer Bernard Platt, the tension between Wigan Athletic and Preston North End football clubs is palpable as they face off against each other on the pitch during the 2018-19 English Football League Championship season. The date was Monday, 22nd April 2019, and the stage was the DW Stadium in Wigan. The image captures a pivotal moment in the game, with Preston North End's players pressing forward, determined to score the goal that could secure their victory. The Wigan Athletic goalkeeper stands tall between the posts, guarding his goal fiercely, as the opposing team's striker prepares to take a shot. The atmosphere is electric, with the crowd roaring in anticipation of the outcome. The 2018-19 season was a significant one for both teams. Wigan Athletic, who had been relegated from the Premier League the previous season, were fighting to regain their place in the top flight. Preston North End, on the other hand, were aiming to secure a promotion spot and return to the Championship's elite. The stakes were high, and the intensity of the game was reflected in the body language of the players and the expressions of the fans. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the passion and determination that defines football at this level, making it a must-have for any Preston North End or Wigan Athletic supporter. Bernard Platt's skillful composition and use of light and shadow add to the drama of the scene, creating a powerful and memorable image that transports viewers back to that fateful Monday in April 2019. Whether you were there in person or not, this photograph offers a glimpse into the heart and soul of football, and the unyielding rivalry between Wigan Athletic and Preston North End.
