About Tom »

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.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Martin Johnson, James Hunt, Steve Redgrave, Joe Calzaghe, Stuart Pearce, Ledley King, Ayrton Senna, Alessandro Zanardi
Favorite Sports Teams

Tottenham Hotspur, Harlequins, The British Lions
Favorite Coaches

Ian McGeehan
All Time Sports Moment

Jonny Wilkinson's drop goal to win the 2003 rugby world cup. Awesome and inevitable.
Most Memorable Game Attended

The first test of the British Lions 2001 tour of Australia. We were in the lower tier of the Gabba in the corner where Jason Robinson scored his try and did our best to drink Melbourne dry that night.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

My City of London Freemen's School U16 high jump record. Untouchable.
Ruth or Mays?

Excuse me?
Unitas or Montana?

What?
Jordan or Russell?

Is this because I'm English?
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky. I've heard of him. Gretzky, Gretzky!
Pele or Maradona?

Pele (see 1986 world cup quarter final for the reason. Cheating little coke head!)
Federer or Sampras?

Federer
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger
Petty or Earnhardt?

Earnhardt
Schumacher or Senna?

Senna
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

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 :)
