We are also absolutely honoured to have Alec Finlay as a patron of our project.
In 2002 Alec published an anthology, "Football Haiku", with contributions from around the world – he defined the 'football haiku' as a minimal haiku form, using the rule of 1 word per line.
For the 2006 World Cup Ken Cockburn, Arne Rautenberg and Alec produced a second anthology, The "Season Sweetens", for the Germany World Cup.
For the South Africa World Cup he has produced the ltd edition rubber stamp print below, with a 'team' of football haiku.
