I work for When Saturday Comes, which allows me to indulge my passion for football with taking off-beat, behind-the-scenes images at matches at every level from internationals and Premiership, to village games and community initiatives. Last June, I was lucky enough to be sent to the Faroe islands for their match against Scotland and was rewarded with a sporting occasion set against a spectacular background. And I even captured one of the the Tartan Army’s most famous fans, the Man in the Red Suit, celebrating the first goal.
