Kevin Sharp Interview

Throughout the making of our film, all of the perspectives on Leeds United fans have been from the fans themselves, something I thought we were lacking was an alternate opinion, perhaps from a player who actually played for the White's. Through a friend's Dad I managed to get in contact with ex-professional footballer Kevin Sharp who played for Leeds. I emailed him and after many re-arrangements I managed to get him in for an interview.

I prepared 8 questions, spanning from his own experiences playing for Leeds and walking out at Elland Road to fan encounters and Leeds' disorderly reputation. I shot and recorded sound for this interview as well using my own DSLR and a Rode microphone. The interview went really well, Kevin was a really nice guy and was happy to discuss the fans from a players perspective, something that was interesting and insightful. After the interview I transcribed the 15 minutes of Kevin talking so it would be easier to find the best stories and most relevant comments that relate to the interviews we had already conducted with other fans

I hope this interview will give our film another angle in telling the story of Leeds United's fans  and will be an interesting addition.
