Sunday Football is my love letter to the game that consumed me for so many years. A visual interpretation of the beloved game at amateur level. An ode to those players that turn up late, hungover and discussing last night’s conquest. Those who light a cigarette at half time whilst sucking an orange quarter for the supposed energy it gives you. Those that repeatedly call the referee, their team mates and the opposing team a ‘cunt’. Those that get lost in the emotion of the game and start the occasional brawl on the pitch, and those that round off the weekend with a quick pint of beer with their teammates post-game before heading back to the missus and kids for a roast dinner… British Sunday league football at it’s best, every week of the season come rain or shine, at Hackney Marshes, the spiritual home of amateur football.
