IF YOU are looking for the perfect Christmas present for the football fan in your life look no further than the new collection of photographs from the acclaimed Homes of Football gallery in Ambleside.

Football in Our Time A Photographic Record of our National Game, by Stuart Clarke, captures the passion, comedy and beauty at the heart of modern British football culture.

His work evokes scenes from both ends of the football spectrum, from the glamour of the Premiership to the down-to-earth surroundings at the lower end of the league.

Football in Our Time also charts the momentous changes that have altered the face of British football forever including the replacement of ageing grounds like Bolton Wanderer's Burnden Park and the flooding of our leagues with foreign talent.

Football In Our Time is an intimate and thought-provoking collection that will be enjoyed by anyone caught up in the culture of the modern game, as well as people with an interest in art, photography and social documentary.

These are photographs that not only illustrate affection for the spectacle of the match itself but also hold an avid fascination for the world that surrounds the game.

Signed copies of Football in Our Time are available direct from The Homes of Football, 100 Lake Road Ambleside, Cumbria, LA22 0DB, complete with a free set of 16 postcards for the price of £29.99 including P&P. Copies can also be ordered by Credit Card on 015394-34440.

More than 3000 examples of Stuart Clarke's photography are available to view on the Homes of Football website at www.homesoffootball.co.uk.
