Richard Davis | Football Culture, 1991

In 1991, Richard Davis documented the football culture of the early ’90s around the stadiums in the North West of England for a book called “Football with Attitude.” The project, which highlighted the crossover between music, football, and fashion, also took Richard to Holland, where he documented Manchester United fans as they made their trip to Rotterdam to watch their team take on Barcelona in the 1991 European Cup Winners’ Cup Final at Stadion Feijenoord.
