The increasing insecurity in the 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
changed the face of football massively. After the Heysel and
Hillsborough disasters football fans got active themselves and
started to publish football fanzines. 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 vivid.
