WHAT I DO... It's finding beauty & relevance in Liverpool v Manchester United, Celtic v Rangers BIG matches…yet finding as much in Cartmel v Kirkby Lonsdale in the Westmorland (Lake District) League. This is me. I arrive at Wembley. I can go where I like - I’m given the run of the little balconies over the exits, so that I can get the crowd between me and the game (NOT what the other photographers want) - I can move around as the sun moves around and the play changes shape. I look for moments on the pitch. On this occasion, Cantona HAS to be in my picture. I am spellbound by him. In Cumbria (The Lakes), albeit years later, I make way way to Kirkby Lonsdale. Down the steep steep cobble drive to besides the River Lune. Where Ruskin described the scene in his day "one of the loveliest views in England therefore in the world, a priceless possession of true 'Holy Land' ". JMW Turner had painted it in 1822, similarly enchanted. Our Ruskin, supreme art critic, did not have the additional thrill of Kirkby Lonsdale vs Kirkoswald about to play out on that fair bank of River. I stand by the entrance from the riverside car park, all cobble and grass, up the wooden steps, players brushing past me. The occasional spectator joins the throng - including 'a girlfriend' who sits with wonderkid BillyM on the bench as he plays sub the first half. The match is a thing of wonder, the Lonsdale underdogs holding the bona fide, proven, title-contenders, Kirkoswald. And, with Billy now on, eventually prizing pretenders-crown from them. 1-0. A week later - Saturday again - driving thru Keswick & Ambleside & Windermere & Bowness all packed with visitors in anoraks, good auld Lake District rain lashing them, I head further south, to a break in the cloud where… Cartmel's ground is in the MIDDLE of the horse-racing course! Seeing no sign of any players I check on the website to learn that due to rains, the match has been switched 1.5 miles to their other pitch. They are "Cartmel & District" afterall. They can play at Grange-Over-Sands if they want to! And, after promotions, after shooting up the League recently joined, they are serious contenders to win the whole thing. Toby Twiname (real name / his only name) is bossing midfield for the Lonsdale, just as he had against Kirkoswald. I am poised behind the Cartmel goal, expecting Kirkby might make a breakthrough - when a car drives between me and it - meaning I miss THE GOAL, the net bristling. Players cock-a-hoop. I thank the lady who turns out to be the mother of Lonsdale's No.2 who I describe as "slow, gifted, great tackler, reader of the game”. She’s not sure if I am being complimentary. She has been delayed by floods on the road. Most of the fans on the grassy bank, the match and the Irish Sea before them (Blackpool Tower in the distance), are rooting for Cartmel & District. To the end Cartmel refuse to die and, goaded by No.9 Jay Hayton who just will NOT give it up, challenges and fouls a plenty, there is a flurry of four further goals in last 5 mins to make it 3-2! BOTH are title contenders. The ref leaving the ground and quickly, albeit with a smile on his face, winds down the car window and asks me what i thought of it "ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I'VE EVER ATTENDED!" my response. Eric Cantona would have been proud. I swear he is stood beside me the entire time. And in the pub.
