Voice of the Fans zines

18 Dec 2024

Librarian Antony Ramm looks over the collection. The show will include copies of the popular Leeds United fanzine The Square Ball, featuring Elland Road idols including Gordon Strachan and Lucas Radebe, Marching Altogether, founded by Leeds fans to campaign against racism and fascism in football and Bradford City’s City Gent – the longest running football zine in the country. Exploring the huge and varied impact grassroots self-publishing has had on football fan culture, the exhibition, which is co-produced with British Library, will trace the birth of zines in the 1970s, right through to modern, multimedia content.
