FAIR GAME is a stunning photographic book exposing the passion, tears and laughter in men and women’s amateur football. Sport, people, Britain, birth, death and everything in between are found in the pages of this remarkable study of the national game.
Tom Connolly’s journey into non-league football unearthed something bigger than sport. The result is a collection of stunning photographs recording the lives lived on the perimeter of the pitch.
For anyone who craves fairness in life and wants fairness in sport, modern elite football offers a confusing, love-hate relationship, one which sent Tom Connolly in search of the game he had fallen in love with as a boy. Like many of the men and women he met on the non-league terraces, he found it in grassroots football.
Football fans have always been fair game for vilification and stereotyping. This book is about the human beings to be found in the beautiful game.
Telling its story through a collection of remarkable black-and-white and colour photos of the people who make the game what it is, FAIR GAME reminds us that in community-minded non-league football clubs, the heart and soul of sport is alive and well, against all the odds and despite those running and owning the upper reaches of the game.
