Misty Kyd for Pop Magazine, Photographed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch

July 29, 2026

The new issue of POP was put together during a time of heightened emotion,

as England’s epic football adventure drew to a close.

Oliver Hadlee Pearch captures his home, family and neighbourhood at a unique moment in time.

A wonderful accompanying essay by Substack football polemicist Misty Kyd Heath explores this, riffs

on ‘The Odyssey’, and reflects beautifully on an emotional terrain beyond simply ‘winning’ and ‘losing’.
