Hi,
I'm Mickaël , a french independant journalist and I'm currently working for the La Découverte publisher on a big book entitled "A Popular History of Football" which will be published in early 2018.
The project is particularly interested in football as a vector of collective and individual emancipation, popular culture and resistances (workers'struggle, anti-totalitarism, decolonialism, feminism militancy, fan culture, etc.), while taking part in a process of history “from below” of the practice of the people's game.
I have a whole section of the book about football fan culture in Great Britain, especially during the 60's until the 80's with the rise of skinhead culture in the terraces, and with the publisher, we are currently exploring some photos to illustrate each chapter.
In this sense, and if you are interested both by the idea and the publication, I come to you to know if you have some Shed Boys pictures (like David Nicolson's ones) during the 70's because it will illustrate very well this chapter about skinhead culture in football.
Ddon't hesitate to send me a private message or to ask me for further information about the book.
Kind regards,
Mickaël
