Beyond trophies and famous matches lies a rich world of football ephemera that reveals how the game was experienced, remembered and celebrated by generations of supporters. Drawn from the private collection of Projit Bihari Mukharji, these objects include photograph albums, commemorative medals, membership cards, fixture books, season timetables, portrait cards of players, World Cup collectibles, matchboxes and other memorabilia. Produced for everyday use and often intended to be discarded, such items preserve traces of football’s presence in homes, schools, clubs and neighbourhoods. Together, they illuminate the rituals of fandom, the growth of sporting commerce and the circulation of football culture across Bengal and beyond. These modest objects are invaluable records of the game’s social history and emotional significance.
