French portrait and documentary photographer Jérôme Favre lives in New Cross. His latest project No One Likes Us is an immersive photodocumentary inside the world of Millwall FC.
Jérôme explains: “Football clubs and communities have always gone hand in hand. In fact, football clubs in this country were usually set up by factories or churches to encourage a sense of community, or belonging.
“Millwall was founded by the workers of JT Morton’s canning and preserve factory, in the Isle of Dogs. My hometown club RC Lens was set up by a mining company and, for decades, both players and fans were coal miners.
“Football has been gentrifying at an increasingly rapid pace, and I’ve progressively turned my gaze towards more grassroots events or clubs, where football still feels cultural rather than transactional.”
The photos in this project were taken at The Den and surrounding bars and cafes between 2018 and 2022.
