Santa Cruz 1985 away. In 1943, with the Pernambuco side facing bankruptcy, club officials agreed to play several fixtures in Natal and Belém in exchange for a bumper payday of 5m Réis. What followed was the notorious tale of the so-called Excursão da Morte or 'Death Tour' 🧵👇

In 1934, Derby County took their team on tour in Germany. Players were expected to give the right-handed Nazi salute before games. Enter Jack Kirby. On the far-left of this photograph you can see Kirby turning his back on the salute as he saw it as wrong. A direct act of defiance against fascism.

Useless picture, sorry, but today was another official launch @bclivingmuseum.bsky.social. Our main interpretation is via historic characters, and our new Mohammed will demo our foundry and talk about his Bengali heritage. He's based on Ismail's (centre) dad, who moved to Wednesbury in 1957.

Shot i took of the Chorsu Bazaar in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Designed in 1980 by Vladimir Azimov and Sabir Adylov, the blue domed structure is a wonderful example of late Soviet Modernism. Chorsu translates as both "crossroads" and "four streams" in Tajik.

Early this morning, an autonomous group of New Yorkers reclaimed an F train car, replacing ads with signage reading “A MAN WAS LYNCHED HERE” and Jordan Neely’s name, as a jury deliberates over whether to convict Daniel Penny, Neely’s killer, with his death last May.

A shot i took of a smallholder burning crops in the shadow of his diaolou in Kaiping, China. A traditional fortified multi-storey watchtower, this particular diaolou was built in the early 1900s using remittances sent home by former villagers who had emigrated to the Southwestern United States.

DAZN rescuing FIFA with a broadcasting deal on the same day Saudi Arabia are linked to investing/rescuing loss-making DAZN, coinciding with FIFA giftwrapping a World Cup to Saudi Arabia. Possibly all entirely unconnected events in which coincidentally all three parties come out as big winners.

Photos from my Giz a Job project exploring the '81 People's March for Jobs, a right-to-work protest that featured a contingent of leftwing punks: "I hadn’t signed up to join a workers army. We were there to represent ourselves and our people... [I wore] mildly offensive t-shirts - ‘Smash NF Scum’."

Scottish Cup Final, 1988. Then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was in attendance. Celtic and Dundee United fans displayed red cards against her and her policies which devastated much of Scotlands industrial heartlands. This is one example of politics and football mixing. They are inseparable.

A couple of pics i took of Las Tres Xemeneies in Barcelona. In April 1973, during the construction of the now abandoned power plant, there was a violent dispute over working conditions. Amidst a series of running battles, a trade unionist was fatally shot by the Guardia Civil.

There were always clues as to how Ratcliffe/Ineos would treat fans in how they treated workers, avoided paying tax in the UK, had a poor environmental record, and were anti-union. Billionaires become billionaires through exploitation and will try to do the same to fans.

1992 CSKA Moscow home shirt. A wonderful bit of immediate post-Soviet era history by family-run Italian brand ABM. The embroidered logo features a golden wreath, hammer & sickle and a red star, which is a nod to the club's historic ties to the Red Army.

Club Deportivo Mandiyú 1994 home. The Argentine club was founded in 1952 by textile workers - with Mandiyú translating to cotton in indigenous Guaraní. Algo wore the shirt during Maradona's ill-fated 12 match tenure as coach, which occurred during the 15-month doping ban he received at USA 94.

Seeing @chewzo14.bsky.social's superb goalpost pics reminded me of this. It was taken by Pete Ayer, a roughsleeper who i trained to document his life with street photography. Pete disliked homeless shelters, preferring to pitch his tent on a football field. "It can get quite lonely out there."

Writing tip #3: At the beginning of every writing project, I survey the art surrounding the topic and select two or three images that say something profound that I would like to try to capture in my writing. I look at the images ever after for insight and inspiration.

Was gifted this by legendary Scouse artist & all round nice guy David Jacques today. As artist in residence at the Kirkby Unemployed Centre throughout the 80s/90s, he oversaw their groundbreaking Art Skills scheme. May be doing some research on unemployed activism in Kirkby if funding is secured.
