Star players have come and gone, but through Manchester United and Manchester City's Premier League rivalry, two local brothers have documented the characters and the chaos.
Outside nightclubs, on railway platforms, in supercars and the barber's chair - Manchester’s footballers have been photographed in the wild by brothers Eamonn and James Clarke for as long as the Premier League has existed.
"Back then our whole business was United," Eamonn adds. "They were everything - our bread and butter. There wasn’t a market for City pictures. It is a harder job now. Manchester has more places catering to those seeking the high life and a low profile. "It is a different sport nowadays as well. Now, they go home, nap, and spend time with their families."A few hours after this shot was taken, Carlos Tevez crossed the divide.
"It did not make any difference to me," he said of City's approach after securing his move to United. "I just wanted to come here." "You could have a sensible conversation with him," says James. "There is a lot of made-up stuff about him - a lot of romance. A year later, City left their Carrington training base, which was surrounded by footpaths and gave photographers and public alike a view on training, for a purpose-built centre next to Etihad Stadium in east Manchester.
"We congratulated him on spotting Rashford's talent and promoting him to the team. He laughed and said: 'It wasn't hard, it was right in front of you.'"
