Rudi is a Manchester United fan but is wearing a 1989 Ajax shirt to Latitude."Somebody else got the 2018 Nigeria shirt and somebody else got one of the 90s Bayern Munich shirt - I think I got the best of the bunch."Ffion Moon said big tournaments such as the Women's World Cup have helped move football away from lad culture
"Even though I live nowhere near Manchester I was born into being a fan," says Shaan Sagoo, 18. "Basically my first ever present, for being born, was a Man United kit from 2004. "We've had the shirts for the past three or four festivals and they fly out - people get really excited about particular ones, especially the older ones," he says.
