The sports shoes were thrown up by local youths after playing in a football tournament to celebrate the life of a local Pollok boy who was killed in Iraq. The shoes had to be removed much to the displeasure by the local youths as the weight of them would have eventually brought the line down. This photograph was taken looking up Hapland Avenue in Pollok, Glasgow, the blocks of flats in the distance are in Cardonald, Glasgow.
