Fair Game Summary

Fair Game by Tom Connolly

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.

Fair Game Reviews

This book is very timely. The world is moving, through choice and circumstance, away from big corporate to the 'local' and this is perfect. Going local does not mean your world is shrinking. It's the opposite. And this book is testament to that. - Award-winning photographer, Michael Donald, whose 2018 book GOAL! was shortlisted for Sports Book of the Year; A stunning photographic record of non-league life. - Sussex Express
