"He found another way of looking at what everyone has already seen"

Football is the most watched sport in the world and so it takes a very special kind of photographer to offer a fresh, unusual and frequently comic perspective. In Peter Robinson's images, a selection of which have recently been on display at the OOF Gallery in London, the beautiful game wasn't always beautiful - and indeed it wasn't always the focus, with the viewer's attention often drawn more towards the backdrop or to pitchside spectators or fans in the stands. As with Martin Parr and Robin Weaver, the act of observation seems to have been one of his prime subjects.
