I’m sure some of you have noticed I’ve been quiet of late. The reason is that I was diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy which has eventually led to a below-the-knee amputation. I’m fine and extremely upbeat. I’ve spent three weeks in John Radcliffe in Oxford and now …

… I’m back at the RBH, hopefully only for a few more weeks. I’m having a prosthetic foot fitted in a month or so and I’m mobile thanks to a wheelchair that I’ll be using for the foreseeable. I hope to be back taking pics before the end of the season. See you soon.

Apologies for this content. I’ve thought a lot about how to handle this, and indeed whether it needs highlighting. This post is the result. As many of you know, my passion is to document football matches and this incident happened last night.

I always thought my set-up wasn’t good enough to do cricket the justice it deserves. 230mm at f6.7 is my limit, so you can imagine how pleased I am with this pic on the front of this week’s sports section. As the saying goes, it’s not what you’ve got … :)

Although I’ve still got matches for another 10 days, here’s a selection of my favourites from the 160+ games I’ve captured since July last year. Do you have a favourite? I’d be honoured if you think any are worthy of a nomination in the @fiberkshire awards. Thanks.

I wholeheartedly support the reasons behind the social media boycott by clubs and leagues this weekend, but I’m also conscious the images I shoot may be the only way some fans are able to interact with their clubs right now. I know I’ll be in the minority. Be kind, always.
