In the latest instalment of our series we bring you these photographs by football fanatic Simon Harsent , who has recorded the heartlands of the beautiful game from iconic stadiums to seemingly forgotten pitches around the world. The absence of action in Harsent's photos gives them an eerie quality, while the use of unorthodox framing suggestively locates football within a wider social context. 'I felt the need to go behind the headlines, the transfer fees and the Ferraris,' he explains, 'because when Saturday's gone and the crowds have disappeared, what remains still makes the heart of a fan beat faster.' Harsent's career has spanned over 20 years and seen him relocate to Australia, then the US, collecting numerous awards. He is a founding member of the Pool Collective and has released publications including Beautiful Game (available on iPad) and Melt: Portrait of an Iceberg
