Description

We're joined by the king of football fan culture photography Stuart Roy Clarke who has been training his lens on football fan culture for over 30 years.

Stuart's work is rightly celebrated not just for the tremendous photographs of such lost grounds as Roker Park Sunderland and the Vetch Field Swansea but for the snapshots of supporter life that he collected along the way.

The photographer shares some of the techniques he used to capture such brilliant images as the Sunderland fans "Looking Up" on their terrace full of every emotion that can fans can go through and also some stories from traversing the country and treading the terraces.

Stuart was a regular visitor to watch Northampton Town and he describes one of his favourite shoots at the old County Ground where he caught the "No Swearing Please" sign placed in front of the Hotel End.

His visual journey came at the time of great change in the game post Hillsbrough and the move to the big money game and we are left with the question if the game is any better and pondering what comes next?
