Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJTJ - A life-size statue of David Silva stands outside the Etihad Stadium in east Manchester, depicting the former Manchester City midfielder in control of a football, a pose that reflects his technical skill, balance and calm authority on the pitch. The sculpture is rendered in a perforated, stainless-steel style, giving it a contemporary appearance that aligns with the modern identity of the club and stadium.
David Silva joined Manchester City in 2010 and became a central figure in the club's transformation into a dominant force in English and European football. Widely regarded as one of the Premier League's most gifted midfielders, Silva played a key role in multiple league titles, domestic cups and the establishment of Manchester City as a global football brand. His vision, passing and consistency earned him lasting recognition among supporters and commentators alike.
The statue forms part of a growing collection of public artworks around the Etihad Campus that celebrate club legends and reinforce Manchester City's sense of identity, continuity and success. Its location in east Manchester also reflects the wider regeneration of the area, where sport-led investment has reshaped former industrial land into a major sporting, residential and leisure district.
Photographed in summer daylight under bright but diffused conditions, the image is well suited for editorial use covering football heritage, Premier League history, public art, sporting commemoration, urban regeneration and Manchester's contemporary sporting landscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R6AHYN - The Hillsborough Monument Memorial - Sculptor's Notes more at https://liverpoolsculptures.co.uk/the-hillsborough-monument-memorial/
The Hillsborough monument was comissioned by the Hillsborough Justice Campaign and sculpted by Tom Murphy.
Background: A young girl asked her Father, where is the Hillsborough Memorial? She was told: There is one in Anfield.' She said: Why can't we have one in the city centre for everyone to see.' This simple question was the catalyst for this monument
The monument is circular with a raised design in low relief. The imagery shows an imaginary place,which is meant to guide our thoughts of remembrance and all that has happened since the tragedy
The people depicted in the design are the guardians of the memory', or people like us' Their purpose is symbolic and other figures represent justice, hope and loss. The setting is a beautiful and quiet place, which may help us to think about the characters and individual personalities of those who died. The people who passed away are represented by the birds who fly freely throughout the work.
We reflect and empathise with those who died while considering the people they were, and might have been, were it not for the disaster
Description of the raised relief on the maquette
The design begins with two large tablets that list the names those who died. A dedication and information plaque is situated between the tablets of names with a poem, written especially for the moument, by David Charters (journalist and author). Immediately above the central dedication is a wreath of spring flowers. This reminds us of the season and number of victims who died. A Liver Bird stands guard. Below the information plaque is a rail of football scarves from differing clubs signifying the way football fans responded nationally in the days after the disaster. Around the top rim of the monument is the proclamation: HILLSBOROUGH DISASTER. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJW6YE - Coverage of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster by the British tabloid The Sun led to the newspaper's decline in Liverpool and the broader Merseyside region, with organised boycotts against it. The disaster occurred at a football match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Ninety-seven Liverpool supporters were crushed to death, and several hundred others were injured, due to negligence by the South Yorkshire Police. On 19 April 1989, four days after the incident, The Sun published a front-page story with the headline The Truth containing a number of falsehoods alleging that Liverpool supporters were responsible for the accident.
Though other newspapers reported stories critical of the fans, The Sun's repetition of unreliable claims as fact and position on the incident in the aftermath of the event led to outrage amongst Liverpudlians. From 1993 to 2012, editor Kelvin MacKenzie, who was in charge of many of the publication decisions, gave conflicting comments on whether he was sorry for the front-page story and said that his mistake was in trusting a Conservative Member of ParliamentIrvine Patnick, who was quoted in the piece. The Sun issued apologies in 2004, after Wayne Rooney was criticised for giving exclusive interviews to the paper, in 2012, under the headline The Real Truth, and in 2016, on a page 89 story in the aftermath of a second governmental inquest that concluded fans were unlawfully killed in the disaster.
After a protest in Kirkby in which women burned copies of the newspaper, The Sun (referred to as The S*n or The Scum) was widely boycotted in Merseyside. Sales have been estimated to have dropped from 55,000 per day in the region to 12,000 in 2019. Campaigns against the newspaper including Total Eclipse of the Sun and Shun the Sun first aimed to decrease purchases of the tabloid, and then supply of it by retailers. Journalists from the paper have been denied access to interviews at Liverpool and Everton grounds. Chris Horrie estimated in 2014

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K11P0F - Manchester Arena, currently referred to as the AO Arena for sponsorship reasons, is an indoor arena in Manchester, England, immediately north of the city centre and partly above Manchester Victoria station in air rights space. The arena has the highest seating capacity of any indoor venue in the United Kingdom, and the second largest in Europe with a capacity of 21,000.
The arena is one of the world's busiest indoor arenas, hosting music and sporting events such as boxing and swimming.[4] The arena was a key part of Manchester's bids to host the Olympic Games in 1996 and 2000 and was eventually used for the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
The arena was temporarily closed following a terror attack on 22 May 2017, in which suicide bomber Salman Abedi killed 22 people, and injured 500 more, at the end of an Ariana Grande concert during her Dangerous Woman Tour. Shows and events that were scheduled to take place at the arena were either moved to alternative venues, or cancelled completely. The arena was reopened on 9 September with a special benefit concert headlined by Manchester-born singer Noel Gallagher.
First proposed during the regeneration of Manchester city centre during the 1980s, the structure was designed by DLA Ellerbe Beckett, Ove Arup & Partners, and Austin-Smith:Lord.
A large truss measuring 105 metres (344 ft) spans the roof. Reinforced concrete is used to increase sound insulation. The upper parts of the building are clad in purple-grey with green glass. The arena was opened on 15 July 1995.
The arena is the only indoor venue in the UK to be built following a layout of 360-degree seating. (London's The O2, formerly the Millennium Dome, also has 360-degree seating, but only on its lower tier, whereas Manchester's arena features it on both tiers). Other European indoor venues built to the same concept include the Lanxess Arena (Cologne, Germany), Arena Zagreb (Zagreb, Croatia), Spaladium Arena (Split, Croatia), Kombank Arena (Belgrade, Serbia)

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JREBPM - James Christopher Armfield, CBE, DL (21 September 1935 22 January 2018) was an English professional football player and manager who latterly worked as a football pundit for BBC Radio Five Live. He played the whole of his Football League career at Blackpool, usually at right back. Between 1954 and 1971 he played 627 games in all competitions, scored six goals, and spent a decade as the club's captain. He also represented the England national team 43 times between 1959 and 1966, and captained them in 15 games. He was a member of England's 1966 World Cup-winning squad. After retiring from playing, Armfield managed Bolton Wanderers and Leeds United
Armfield won 43 caps for England between 1959 and 1966, and captained his country on fifteen occasions. He made his international debut on 13 May 1959, against Brazil in front of over 120,000 fans at the Maracanã Stadium. He played in the 1962 World Cup in Chile, where he was acclaimed as the best right-back in the world. He was also voted best right-back in Europe between 1962 and 1964
In the 1966 World Cup final only the 11 players on the pitch at the end of the 42 win over West Germany received medals. Following a Football Association-led campaign to persuade FIFA to award medals to all the winners' squad members, Armfield was presented with his medal by Gordon Brown at a ceremony at 10 Downing Street on 10 June 2009

The stadium officially opened in 2004
On 3 March 2011, the club announced that the corners of the East Stand at the stadium would be filled in to create a further 2,000 spaces made up of seating and terracing for the 2012 season. The stadium capacity, set at 15,000 for the first sell-out home match against St. Helens in 2012, was increased to 15,200 and can grow to 15,693 as the club proves it can handle the bigger crowds and get extra safety certificates. The club has also announced plans to increase the stadium's capacity to around 22,000 should the need arise.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CBTEEE - 3rd December 2019 - Trent Alexander-Arnold helps launch Christmas foodbank appeal by LFC
Liverpool Football Club launched its Christmas Foodbank Appeal today ahead of Wednesday's Merseyside derby at Anfield.
Trent Alexander-Arnold took time out before training on Monday to drop by North Liverpool Foodbank to donate food, meet with staff and volunteers and find out more about the centre's important work.
The No.66 said: It was a pleasure to be able to visit the foodbank and meet with the hard-working staff and volunteers. Their dedication makes such a difference to people who need their help. I'm really proud that my club is supporting such an important cause.
Trent's support was matched by a visit from Everton FC players Moise Kean and Alex Iwobi, who also donated food and helped to weigh and sort donations.
These visits, along with other club activity, are helping to raise awareness of food poverty and encourage food donations leading up to and throughout the Christmas period, which can be a difficult time for many people.
LFC staff have worked together to create the club's first ever Christmas Giving Tree, made out of food donations, which proudly features on the club's official Christmas card that is being distributed around the world to thousands of contacts.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CBTEEP - William Shankly OBE (2 September 1913 29 September 1981) was a Scottish football player and manager, who is best known for his time as manager of Liverpool. Shankly brought success to Liverpool, gaining promotion to the First Division and winning three League Championships and the UEFA Cup. He laid foundations on which his successors Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan were able to build by winning seven league titles and four European Cups in the ten seasons after Shankly retired in 1974. A charismatic, iconic figure at the club, his oratory stirred the emotions of the fanbase. In 2019, 60 years after Shankly arrived at Liverpool, Tony Evans of The Independent wrote, Shankly created the idea of Liverpool, transforming the football club by emphasising the importance of the Kop and making supporters feel like participants
Shankly took charge of Liverpool when they were in the Second Division and rebuilt the team into a major force in English and European football. He led Liverpool to the Second Division Championship to gain promotion to the top-flight First Division in 1962, before going on to win three First Division Championships, two FA Cups, four Charity Shields and one UEFA Cup. It was during Shankly's reign the club changed to an all-red home strip, and You'll Never Walk Alone became the club's anthem. Shankly announced his surprise retirement from football a few weeks after Liverpool had won the 1974 FA Cup Final, having managed the club for 15 years, and was succeeded by his long-time assistant Bob Paisley. He led the Liverpool team out for the last time at Wembley for the 1974 FA Charity Shield.[6] He died seven years later, aged 68. Considered one of the greatest managers in the sport, Shankly was among the inaugural inductees into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002, and the Scottish Football Hall of Fame in 2004.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CBTEEY - John Houlding (c.August 1833 17 March 1902) was an English businessman, most notable for being Lord Mayor of Liverpool, and the founder of Liverpool Football Club. In November 2018, Houlding was commemorated with a bronze bust outside Anfield to mark the 125th anniversary of Liverpool F.C.
Prior to his election Houlding was involved with the city's first professional football team, Everton F.C. In 1882, a ruling forced Everton to play their games at an enclosed ground, having previously played them on the public Stanley Park. A meeting held in the Sandon Hotel in Anfield, Liverpool, owned by Houlding, led to Everton F.C. renting a field off Priory Road. When the owner of this field eventually asked them to leave, Houlding secured a new pitch at Anfield Road, paying a small rent to John Orrell, a fellow brewer. The first football match at Anfield was on 28 September 1884, when Everton beat Earlestown 5-0.
At Anfield stands were erected, attendance figures reached 8,000 per game, and Everton became a founding member of the Football League in 1888. However, Houlding was beginning to annoy the club
he increased the rate of interest on his loan to the club, and the players were forced to use the Sandon Hotel in Oakfield Road for changing, both before and after games.
Memorial to Houlding outside Anfield on the 125th anniversary of Liverpool F.C.
Houlding purchased the land at Anfield Road from Orrell in 1885 and charged rent to Everton F.C. Orrell owned land next to the ground and planned to build an access road across Houlding's land. The only way to stop this was to rent Orrell's land or buy it. Houlding wanted Everton F.C. to buy his land and Orrell's land by floating the club. If his proposals had been accepted, Houlding would have made a lot of money from the purchase of the land and the club would have been run by a small number of large shareholders.
Many of the club's members accused Houlding of trying to make a profit at the club's expense

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CBTEFC - Robert Paisley OBE (23 January 1919 14 February 1996) was an English footballer and manager who spent almost fifty years with Liverpool as a wing half, physiotherapist, coach and manager. Due to his achievements as Liverpool manager, Paisley is regarded as one of the greatest English managers of all time. Reluctantly taking the job in 1974, he built on the foundations laid by his predecessor Bill Shankly. Paisley was the first manager, and is one of three, to have won the European Cup three times. He is also one of five managers to have won the English top-flight championship as both a player and manager at the same club.
Paisley came from a small Durham mining community and, in his youth, played for Bishop Auckland before he signed for Liverpool in 1939. During the Second World War, he served in the British Army and could not make his Liverpool debut until 1946. In the 194647 season, he was a member of the Liverpool team that won the First Division title for the first time in 24 years. In 1951, he was made club captain and remained with Liverpool until he retired from playing in 1954.
He stayed with Liverpool and took on two roles as reserve team coach and club physiotherapist. By this time, Liverpool had been relegated to the Second Division and their facilities were in decline. In December 1959, Shankly was appointed Liverpool manager and he promoted Paisley to work alongside him as his assistant in a management/coaching team that included Joe Fagan and Reuben Bennett. Under their leadership, the fortunes of Liverpool turned around dramatically and, in the 196162 season, the team gained promotion back to the First Division. Paisley filled an important role as tactician under Shankly's leadership and the team won numerous honours during the next twelve seasons.
In 1974, Shankly retired as manager and, despite Paisley's own initial reluctance, he was appointed as Shankly's successor.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DAPRFH - Goodison Park is a football stadium in the Walton area of Liverpool, England. It has been the home stadium of Premier League club Everton FC since its completion in 1892. Located in a residential area 2 miles (3 km) north of Liverpool city centre, it has an all-seated capacity of 39,414.
As Everton have only been outside the top division for four seasons, Goodison Park has hosted more top-flight games than any other stadium in England (they were relegated in 1930 and 1951). The stadium has also been the venue for an FA Cup Final and numerous international fixtures, including a semi-final match in the 1966 World Cup, among others.
Everton's new home ground, Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium, is under construction and set to be opened in time for the start of the 2023/24 season.

The club was a founder member of the Football League in 1888, and has, as of May 2023, competed in the top division for a record 120 seasons, having missed only four top-flight seasons (193031, 195152, 195253, and 195354). Everton is the club with the second-longest continuous presence in English top-flight football, and ranks third in the all-time points rankings. The club has won nine league titles, five FA Cups, one European Cup Winners' Cup and nine Charity Shields.
Formed in 1878, Everton won their first League Championship during the 189091 season. After winning four more League championships and two FA Cups, the club experienced a post-Second World War lull until a revival in the 1960s. A period of sustained success came in the mid-1980s, when Everton won a further two League championships, one FA Cup, and the 1985 European Cup Winners' Cup. The club's most recent major trophy was the 1995 FA Cup.
The club's supporters are colloquially known as Evertonians or Blues. Everton's main rivals are Liverpool, whose home stadium at Anfield is just under one mile away from Everton's home at Goodison Park
the two clubs contest the Merseyside derby. Everton have been based at Goodison Park since 1892, having moved from their original home at Anfield following a disagreement over its rent. The club's home colours are royal blue shirts with white shorts and socks.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AG9CM3 - Manchester City supporters wave blue flags inside Wembley Stadium before the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea on 24 February 2019, creating a strong fan's-eye view of a major English football occasion. The image shows the bright green Wembley pitch, red seating, floodlit stadium roof and the large pre-match cup final display, with City fans filling the foreground in pale blue. The final finished 0-0 after extra time before Manchester City beat Chelsea 4-3 on penalties to retain the League Cup, with Sky Sports recording an attendance of 81,775. This editorial sports photograph is useful for coverage of Manchester City Football Club, Chelsea FC, Wembley Stadium, English domestic cup finals, the EFL Cup, Carabao Cup sponsorship, penalty shoot-outs, football supporters, fan culture, cup final travel, football flags and the atmosphere of elite matchdays. The picture also connects with Manchester City's 2018-19 season, when Pep Guardiola's side won the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup, with the Community Shield also forming part of the club's Fourmidables branding. The foreground flags, packed stand, stadium bowl and ceremonial pitch graphics give the image strong search value for MCFC, Man City fans, Chelsea v Manchester City, Wembley cup final, football crowd, League Cup final 2019 and supporter experience. It can also illustrate articles about ticket demand, away days, London football events, crowd management, stadium design, football tourism, club identity, major sporting occasions and the commercial culture of modern English football. The image is clearly a public sporting event scene, with no close-up identifiable players, making it flexible for editorial use, match reports, sports history, supporter features and archive coverage of Manchester City's successful 2018-19 campaign.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AG9CMC - A wide interior view of Wembley Stadium in London during the Carabao Cup final between Manchester City and Chelsea on 24 February 2019, photographed from among Manchester City supporters with blue flags visible in the foreground and red Wembley seating spelling out the stadium name across the opposite stand. The match finished 0-0 after extra time before Manchester City beat Chelsea 4-3 on penalties to retain the League Cup, in a final watched by an attendance of 81,775. This editorial football image is useful for coverage of Manchester City Football Club, Chelsea FC, Wembley Stadium, English domestic cup finals, the EFL Cup, Carabao Cup sponsorship, penalty shoot-outs, football supporters, fan culture, cup final travel, London sporting events and the 2018-19 English football season. The view captures the scale of the national stadium, the bright floodlights, the vivid green pitch, the red seating bowl, the roof structure and the atmosphere of a major evening football occasion. It also connects strongly with Manchester City's highly successful 2018-19 campaign, when the club went on to complete a domestic treble by winning the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup, alongside the Community Shield often referenced in club Fourmidables coverage. The image can illustrate sports journalism, match reports, club histories, Wembley features, football tourism, supporter experiences, ticketing, crowd management, cup final build-up and the economics of elite football. With the pitch, flags, crowd silhouettes and stadium branding all visible, it has strong search value for MCFC, Man City fans, Chelsea v Manchester City, Carabao Cup final 2019, Wembley night match, penalty drama and English football silverware. Editorial use should recognise visible club colours, competition branding and stadium setting as part of a public sporting event.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PAN57J - The Kassam Stadium on Grenoble Road, Oxford, photographed at dusk with the distinctive angular roofline, blue gates, yellow walling and darkening evening sky creating a strong exterior view of Oxford United Football Club's home ground. The stadium, also known simply as The Kassam, is one of the most recognisable football venues in Oxfordshire and has been Oxford United's home since the club moved from the Manor Ground in 2001. This editorial sports image is useful for coverage of Oxford United FC, English football grounds, EFL fixtures, away supporter guides, match night features, groundhopping, football tourism, stadium architecture and local sport in South East England. The scene shows the stadium without crowds, giving a clear documentary view of the building, entrance area and car park setting rather than a match action image. The evening light and floodlit glow make it suitable for stories about midweek fixtures, winter football, supporter travel, stadium operations, sports infrastructure and the atmosphere around a professional football ground before or after a game. The Kassam Stadium is widely known among football supporters for its unusual three-sided layout, out-of-town location and long-running debate over Oxford United's future stadium plans. Those associations give the image additional editorial value for articles about stadium ownership, club tenancy, relocation proposals, local planning, football finance and the changing relationship between clubs, councils, supporters and landowners. The photograph can also illustrate broader themes including regional football culture, Oxfordshire identity, sports venues, public events, football business, matchday logistics and the built environment around modern stadiums. With no visible people, the image remains flexible for newspaper, magazine, website, blog and feature use where a clean exterior stadium shot is needed.

Two monuments to Australian winger and world record try scorer Brian Bevan, who played for Warrington 1945-62 (scoring 740 tries for the Wire), are featured at the stadium. One, a statue of him, had previously been placed in the middle of a roundabout (known as Brian Bevan island) close to Wolves' old Wilderspool ground. This was moved to the Halliwell Jones Stadium with the team. The other, a mural showing Bevan's face made from 'Primrose and Blue' bricks, the traditional Warrington colours was created specifically for the location.
Two other tributes to ex-players at the ground are the naming of the South-East quadrant the Jack Fish corner, and the road the stadium is on Mike Gregory Way.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYJMN - By the late 1990s, Warrington RLFC's spiritual home Wilderspool Stadium had become decrepit and unfit for purpose, and so the club looked to move to a new stadium. Before settling on the site which had formerly housed the Tetley Walker brewery, a site in Burtonwood was considered but these plans were rejected.
The last competitive game at Wilderspool (after 105 years at the ground) was played on 21 September 2003, when Warrington beat Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 52-12.
The stadium was notable for bucking the common trend of modern stadia by including terracing areas rather than being an all-seater stadium. There were originally 4 stands in the stadium the North Stand (reserved seating), the East Stand (originally unreserved seating but later became reserved seating), the South Stand (home terracing), and the West Stand (visitors' terracing and overflow of home terracing).
It also has enormous pitch dimensions of 120 m x 74 m, as requested by Warrington's head coach of the time, Paul Cullen, due to his desire to play expansive rugby.
The official capacity of the stadium is 15,200.
The stadium has already enjoyed several memorable moments, perhaps most notably Andrew Johns' debut for Warrington against Leeds Rhinos in a 33-16 victory on 10 September 2005.
During the Co-operative Championship grand final rugby league game between Featherstone Rovers and Halifax on 26 September 2010, a fire beneath the terraced West Stand broke out, forcing all of the fans housed in the stand to be evacuated onto the field, holding up the game for around 45 minutes. Following a safety inspection the spectators were eventually allowed back in. However, when the smell of smoke failed to disperse, there was a further hold up as the fans were moved to the East Stand. The game resumed with no further interruptions. The fire is being treated as arson.

An Other Nationalities representative winger, Bevan scored a world record 796 tries, mainly for the Warrington RLFC. In 2008, the centenary year of rugby league in Australia, he was named on the wing of Australia's Team of the Century (1908-2007).

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4489490325 - 'My local rugby club and its hero Brian Bevan who as an unassuming slight looking player, scored a world record 796 tries in his time for Warrington RLFC. He was actually Austrailian by birth.
As his mosiac is made of hundreds of yellow and blue bricks (the colours of The Wires strip) this is a family club and the people named here are the true wires, who invested \u00a335 each. Replica bricks could also be purchased for \u00a325 each up until spring 2004.
Warrington Wolves are a professional rugby league football club and compete in Super League, Europe's top-level rugby league competition. They are yet to win the super league trophy, but its sure to come after lifting the Challenge Cup in August, 2009.
It was one of the original twenty-two rugby clubs in 1895 that formed the Northern Rugby Football Union, so has long roots. The winger Brian Bevan named here made his d\u00e9but for Warrington in 1945 and was one of the teams most iconic players. He is honoured by a statue at the eastern gates end of the North Stand at the entrance to the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
This image was taken at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, which s their recent new home.
