EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing a poignant moment during the Barclays Premier League match between Stoke City and Chelsea, held at the Britannia Stadium on December 7,2013. The date marks a significant moment in football history as the Chelsea players paid tribute to the late Nelson Mandela through a minutes applause. Nelson Mandela, the iconic anti-apartheid revolutionary and former President of South Africa, passed away on December 5,2013, at the age of 95. Mandela spent 27 years in prison for his activism against racial discrimination and segregation in South Africa. His unwavering commitment to peace, reconciliation, and social justice left an indelible mark on the world. The minutes applause was a touching gesture by Chelsea players to honor Mandela's legacy. The image captures the players with their hands over their hearts, heads bowed, as they observe the moment of silence. The contrast between the green grass of the football pitch and the blue and white jerseys of the Chelsea players creates a powerful visual representation of unity and respect. This image is a reminder of the power of sport to bring people together and to pay tribute to those who have made a significant impact on the world. The minutes applause for Nelson Mandela was a symbol of solidarity, respect, and admiration from the Chelsea players and fans. The photograph, taken by Darren Walsh during the 2013-2014 season, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Nelson Mandela and the unifying power of football. It is a moment that will be remembered in the annals of football history.
