As football clubs become less and less attached to their area and supporters, fanzines show the frustrations and passion that come with dedicating yourself to your club, serving as a unique and indelible supporter’s history. The fanzine is the love for your club and the game down on paper. They reflect the togetherness, the obsession, the minor detail, the passion that gives the game all its value. If we are to galvanize any mass movement against today’s sterilized corporate football climate, where the fan is still so often an after-thought then the values that the fanzine movement created should be at its core.

Don Letts examines the history of this notorious subculture in a fascinating documentary, which features interviews with members of different skinhead scenes through the decades. Beginning in the late 1960s, Don fondly recalls a time of multiracial harmony as youngsters bonded over a love of ska, reggae and smart clothes as white working-class kids were attracted to Jamaican culture and adopted its music and fashions.
