More Than a Match

Stuart Clarke's photography has captured like no other's the humour, passion and poetry from unguarded moments of ordinary football lives. His interest is not so much in the game itself, but in the grassroots experience of being a fan and the unmistakable atmosphere of the traditional (and rapidly vanishing) British football ground. These are his finest images, taken over the last dozen years, featuring sights from legendary to lowly - commentators to tea girls and drunks to proud fathers. Displaying all the bread and butter agony and ecstacy that make up the supporters lot, these postcards will strike an instant chord with anyone who's ever been to a football ground and fallen hopelessly in love.
