AN exhibition which celebrates England's national game arrives in Bolton next week.

The Homes of Football features photographs taken by Stuart Clarke inside and outside stadiums around the globe.

Bolton Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce opens the exhibition at the Museum and Art Gallery in Le Mans Crescent, at 5pm on Thursday, November 14, and it runs until Saturday, January 11.

Visitors will be able to view portraits from every level of football, from Wigan Athletic's old ground Springfield Road to the modern Japanese stadiums used in this year's World Cup. There will also be a selection of photographs taken at the last game at Burnden Park against Charlton in 1997.

Mr Clarke said: "The pictures that I take always strive to show a warm affection for the game itself and its central characters."

The exhibition has been touring since 1991 and new photographs are constantly being added.
