EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of football fandom at its finest. Set against the backdrop of the iconic Stadium of Light in Sunderland, a group of passionate football fans gather around the magnificent bronze sculpture titled "Fans, Past, Present and Future". Unveiled in 2004, this remarkable piece of public art stands as a testament to the rich sports heritage and history that permeates through every corner of this vibrant city. Created by renowned artist Simon Inglis, this statue is just one among several awe-inspiring artworks scattered around the stadium complex. The image encapsulates the deep connection between sport and recreation as these dedicated supporters come together to celebrate their shared love for soccer. Their faces are filled with anticipation and excitement, reflecting their unwavering loyalty towards their beloved team. As onlookers pass by, they cannot help but be drawn to this powerful representation of unity and camaraderie. The sculpture serves as a reminder that football is not merely a game; it is an integral part of people's lives - past, present, and future. In capturing this moment frozen in time, Historic England allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and cultural significance embedded within this photograph. It serves as a poignant tribute to all those who have contributed to making Sunderland's Stadium of Light an enduring symbol within British sporting history.
