Abi takes just 60 seconds to describe why she couldn’t imagine life without football.

This story is just one of many in the Extra Time collection of Footballing Stories from Suffolk.

Throughout 2023, Suffolk Artlink invited people to record their personal stories about football.

Contributors talked about witnessing championship–winning goals, the joys of the supporters’ coach and the loneliness of a groundsman during lockdown. There was even a marriage proposal or two.

We would like to thank all our contributors and also John at Chronicle Digital Storytelling, for his support, advice and inspiration.
