Life’s a Ball 90s is a documentary photobook by Zak Waters that takes a nostalgic and affectionate look at diehard UK football fans in the mid 90’s.
Contrary to what you may think ‘Life’s a Ball 90s’ is not a book about football – it is a book about people who like football – REALLY like football!

Zak Waters & Ivor Baddiel
Hardcover
140 pages – with 95 colour photographs
200 x 300mm

Life’s a Ball 90s - REPLAY
In LAB90s - REPLAY I have included a few images of football fanatics that were not used in the final book edit as well as a small selection of letters and documents sent to me from football supporters all over the UK.(Please Note: Some of the images are photocopied scans of the prints) I will add more if I find anymore)
A copy of the orginal Introduction to Life’s a Ball was written by actor and tv presenter Nick Hancock for the first version of the book that was due to be published by Michael Jospeh/Penguin in 1996.
