Imagine my surprise the other week when I got a phone call from the good folk at Wembley Stadium.
At last I thought, Mr. Cappello has taken note of my hourly phone calls and wants a one-on-one to talk tactics and team selection. Alas no…THE home of the English game, and to many one of the finest stadiums on the planet, want to exhibit my humble project Reality Football !
What started out as a few snaps on Hackney Marshes, then lead to a nation wide shoot and exhibition in Shoreditch, has now made it to the hollowed halls of Wem-ber-ley, in association with Exhibit X.
So if you happen to be beneath the famous arch in Club Wembley this Sunday with a few minutes to spare in-between prawn sandwiches, check out a few giants of UK football.
Not those lowly lads from Man United or Chelsea but the mighty Surreal Madrid, the magnificent Hackney Martians and a host of other Sunday Leaguers who never in their wildest dreams ever thought they would be gracing such famous walls.
The project will be on show for the following season but if you don’t get chance to visit North London, please visit realityfootball.org to see the unsung heroes of the beautiful game.
