For a good part of every month I am a sports cartoonist, specialising in pictures of footballers with very short legs (or, in some cases, no legs at all). This website has a selection of my work - now mainly done in Adobe Illustrator with the odd piece in Flash, pen and ink, collages, watercolours or acrylic - from the last 19 years. 

At the moment most of my sports stuff is for the football magazine When Saturday Comes, and a monthly piece in The Guardian sports pages to accompany Marina Hyde's articles (it used to be Frank Keating). I've had regular cartoons in the sports sections of both The Observer and The Express and produced icons and webanimation for The Guardian and WSC. 

Over the years I've done a few illustrations for book jackets - The WSC Half Decent Football Book, the Always Next Year anthology series and the most recent edition of Mike Marqusee's Anyone But England. I also illustrated the Philosophy Football books, by Mark Perryman. 

While at WSC I produced the occasional football t-shirt, such as 'Gol!' and 'I Live for Footy!'. For years my ambition has been to run a thriving t-shirt business. I used to run a hand painted t-shirt stall on Portobello Market and I still fantasise about throwing away my computer and buying a new screen/potato printing kit. 



Awards
• In 1995 I was nominated for the Cartoon Arts Trust Sports Cartoonist of the Year award.  
• In 1981, when I won the Most Improved Player of the Year award at the Rasen Wanderers U16s FC annual dinner. Still the highpoint of my career.
