Team Spirit by seanoneill

Team Spirit

Today I drove up to Hull, a city that I lived in for 16 years.

I saw a very old and dear friend Neil who I was at University with. We went to my old local pub , The Polar Bear on Spring Bank, and to see Hull City v Southampton. I actually introduced him to his wife Hazel, and they are still happily married 24 years later.

My team, Southampton, won the game 2-0 and remain top of the league with 8 games left to play. If we finish in the top 2 we will be promoted to the FA Premier League to play teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

I took a few shots using my new Lumix, but this was the shot that really summed up the performance and the evening seeing my old friend again. A really great team effort against Hull, who were unbeaten in 11 games.

Great to see you again Neil, let's not leave it as long next time eh?

You lived in Hull for 16 years?! You deserve a medal, I'm originally from Beverley which was close enough for my comfort lol

@seanoneill I like the place, it has a lot of charms, unfortunately the natives tend to bring it down though. Always has that 'end of the road' feeling about it

Great shot, Sean. There's a lot of feeling in it.
