Football supporters outside West Ham stadium
This photograph appears to show two West Ham football supporters. However, a further two photographs in the collection and discussion with a writer who was present with the photographer at the time of working, reveals that they were in fact German nationals who had been invited to the match by West Ham supporters. The alleged purpose was to pre-arrange a fight between West Ham supporters and the visiting supporters for the forthcoming European Cup Semi-Final match between West Ham and Eintracht Frankfurt. These two German men were given West Ham merchandise to wear at the game during their visit. Scott-Stewart was interested in photographing the notion of 'fans' at the time.
