For my FMP I wanted to choose a topic that resonated with me personally, that included my personal interests to ensure depth within the collection. Therefore, being from Liverpool myself, combined with my love of football gave me a foundation for my research. I chose to focus much of my research on the Liverpool docks and the men that worked on them throughout time. This led me to the dockers strikes of 1995-1998, which were a huge part of the city’s identity during this time. I drew inspiration from the dockers uniforms and the policing around the strikes, whilst also looking at many of the flags and banners that were present. Alongside this, I explored these men’s religious relationship with football and what a match-day looked like for them. Additionally, I tapped into the evolution of football kits and the Liverpool born Casual Movement.
