Its probably fair to say that @tamworthfc have some very big players in the side but its equally fair to say they are quality.

Four years on and i still think about that day in 2018 regularly. Ive never seen so many people crying at a football match. The emotions were unbelievable. Am i wrong?

As a photographer how do you pick your best shot of the year. It's virtually impossible. I've chosen this one from the 2018 final between Tranmere & Boreham Wood. I was right at the centre of a highly charged and emotional afternoon. Quite unbelievable atmosphere.

The difference between top flight soccer and non league is that more often than not players will take time out to talk with you. Even non league photographers! Great to chat with you yesterday @joshcoulson04 Another superb performance sir!

In 2018 my shots from Tranmeres win saw over 1,000,000 hits on the photographs. The club and fans couldn't get enough of an historic day. The shots were used everywhere. @TranmereRovers had no issues about using them yet they are in a minority. Anyone care to explain?

What can you say about a club whose fans still keep in touch with you nearly two years after a match you covered and offer you free tickets and hospitality. Tranmere fans really are amazing. If only both clubs could go through on Thursday!

As a photographer capturing the important moment sometimes needs determination. You might not always get the clearest shot but capturing it is paramount. When I took this shot my cameras were saturated and I was drenched. Such an important moment for the Tranmere manager.
