About this title

From the Inside Flap

Whether responding to a major international disaster overseas or providing support to an individual suffering from their own personal crisis closer to home, the Red Cross is always there to provide unconditional care to those who need it, wherever they are in the world. Across Europe trained Red Cross volunteers work in many different ways to support the most vulnerable. For example, teaching life-saving first aid skills, empowering marginalised young people and caring for the elderly. Volunteers also use their professional skills to support the emergency services in responding to floods, fires and other life-threatening emergencies. Football, like the Red Cross, is a truly international phenomena that unites communities and nations, bringing hope and inspiration to millions of people throughout the world. Just as football fans and players come from all walks of life, united by a love for the game that transcends barriers, the Red Cross is open to all regardless of background or belief. In harmony with this ethos is Canon s own philosophy of kyosei, living and working together for the common good. The Other Side of Football was conceived by Canon, a digital imaging leader, as a way of celebrating its long and proud association with elite European football and as a means of supporting the vital efforts of the Red Cross in Europe. We would like to thank all the talented sports people and individuals who donated their time and creativity to this project and who have so generously offered us a rare and privileged view into their lives beyond the beautiful game. We hope you enjoy the stunning collection of digital images that is The Other Side of Football and that these striking and provocative digital images serve to inspire you as they have us.
