"每个星期天，都有一小群业余足球运动员来到哈克尼沼泽（Hackney Marshes）。这块沼泽地被称为“业余足球的精神之家”，由大约80个球场组成，从9月至4月，这里每周要举办50多场比赛。摄影师克里斯·贝克（Chris Baker）本人就是一名业余足球运动员，在过去的三个赛季中，他记录了这场周日仪式。

运动员迟到，宿醉，中场休息时讨论昨晚的征服和抽烟。偶尔还会有斗殴，笑声和一些认真的足球比赛，然后赛后喝点酒，最后回家回到妻子身边。最精彩的周日足球联赛不过如此。 贝克的照片加上了精选的运动员说的话和他们的故事（往往很令人捧腹大笑）。

Every Sunday a small army of amateur footballers descend on Hackney Marshes. Known as the 'spiritual home of amateur football', the marshes consist of some 80 pitches where more than 50 matches are played each week from September until April. Photographer Chris Baker, an amateur footballer himself, has spent the past three seasons documenting this Sunday ritual.

Players turn up late, hungover, discussing last night's conquest and light cigarettes at halftime. There are occasional brawls, laughs and some serious football before post match pints and then finally home to the missus. This is Sunday League football at its best. Baker's photographs are coupled with a selection of (often hilarious) quotes and stories from the players.
