Harry Pearson – The Farther Corner

Older and none-the-wiser, Harry makes a sentimental return to the places and stadiums that inspired his cult study of Northeast football The Far Corner.

Far removed from the world of Gianni Infantino and Skysports, this is a footballing environment where old men complain that a global cartel has fixed the price of Bovril, PA announcers pick a night when it’s -7C to play “Sex on the Beach”, and a man dressed as a monkey chases two youths in day-glo mankinis beneath the floodlights of Hartlepool.
