About

I'm a jobbing sports writer and fan of pretty much any sport going. Recently I've been writing mainly on motorsport for a bunch of publications and clients including Castrol, Bridgestone, Williams F1, the Toyota F1 team.

I've done a fair amount of football writing too and head up to White Hart Lane to see the mighty mighty Spurs whenever I can, or you'll also find me at the Stoop watching Harlequins when I fancy a bit of egg chasing.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Tom,

    Where did you find the picture of the McLaren with the paint on the side pod, as I'd like to use it in an article myself.

    Tom,

    I looked through it and I'll admit that I'm terrible with knowing how the slideshows get tagged or anything like that. It seems though that it's up on the F1 page!

    Sorry about getting to you so late :)
