Duleep Allirajah writes about football and is a long-time contributor to spiked. He co-founded the Libero! network, which campaigned against the increasing regulation of football fan conduct. Duleep has written on a wide range of social and cultural issues as seen through the prism of sport, including racism and national identity, violence on and off the field, sportsmen as role models, and the commercialisation of football. He is a season-ticket holder at Crystal Palace and hates public weeping at football, the wearing of jester’s hats and open-top bus parades for runners-up.
