Master's Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Sport - Sport
Sociology, grade: B, University of Leicester (Institute for
Sociology), course: MA course for Sociology of Sports, language:
English, abstract: Abstract The increasing insecurity in English
society is countered by a resurgence of nostalgia and remembering
the old times. This phenomenon can be found in football, too, but
it differs from the need for nostalgia that is visible in society.
High Street shops like Past Times are hugely successful in selling
commodities that remember the English Commonwealth with goods from
the countries that once belonged to it. Also, this becomes visible
by the many replica items of daily life that are designed in a
retro style but contain modern technology such as radios, watches,
alarm clocks and furniture. Football fans can purchase replica
shirts of their favourite club from the seventies and even earlier.
In the field of football, the introduction of the Premier League in
England has ultimately changed the face of football. Football was
commodified and has become the most successful part of the
entertainment industry. In the wake of the Heysel and Hillsborough
disasters football fans got active themselves and started to
publish football fanzines as a reaction to the general condemnation
they had to endure. In these outlets they mostly opposed the view
that every football fan is a hooligan. They also used football
fanzines as a platform to remember their heroes and glories of eras
long gone. For this reason cultures of memory did become a part of
football fanzines and did so very vividly.
