Harchester United Football Club
History
In April 1895 at the Dragon Leather Tannery in Harchester, a group of men, led by tannery owner Sean Creamer, got together to form a football club in the hope of rivalling the other local club, Harchester St. Augustine. The club was named Harchester United. There may have been friendly rivalry between United and St. Augustine, but good sportsmanship remained throughout as St. Augustine offered United the chance to play their home matches at their own Palmerston Road sports ground. United gratefully accepted. Between 1895 and 1898, the club had such a fantastic record in the FA Cup for an amateur side that they managed to get together funds to turn professional. The record was so great that upon an application to join the football league, they were instantly elected to do so by the other clubs. The first season in the football league division two saw Harchester United win it by a fair distance and they were promoted to the the first division. After a brief yoyo period of several ups and downs in the next few years, they won promotion back to the First Division in 1907. However, at the end of the 1907–08 season, Palmerston Road owners Harchester St. Augustine were suffering badly and ordered United to find a new place to play so that they could sell off their ground. United moved into the new Addison Road Stadium and obtained a 100-year lease for the ground. In 1908, London businessman Ian Mayes brought the club from owner Robert Ball, who by this time had closed down the Tannery. Mayes decided to follow the example of other football clubs and bring in a new manager who had not been involved with the club before. That man was Joseph Peterson.
Peterson's involvement never went down well with local supporters and in 1920 he resigned from the club following back to back relegations. This is where David Cooper came in to repair damage and finally won promotion from the division three north in 1926–27. In 1932–33, Harchester United regained top flight status under the reins of new manager Edward Evans. Evans left the club in 1939 following the abandonment of the league due to the Second World War and was never contacted again. After the War came new changes. First, Trevor Chamberlain became the new owner of the club in 1945 and appointed his friend Arthur Charlton as manager. Charlton had previously played for Portsmouth before the war and was a part of their FA Cup winning team. Charlton's reign got off to the worst possible of starts with relegation in 1947. However, in a very successful 1957–58 campaign, a Division Two title was in the bag and Harchester United were promoted again. Tragedy would end Charlton's era as boss in March 1965 as the longest serving manager in Dragons history died following a heart attack during a league game with Blackburn at Addison Road. Arthur Charlton's assistant Jim Stephenson instantly became the manager following the tragedy but disasters on the pitch were to follow with relegation in 1966–67.
By 1970, Harchester United were back in the top flight under the managerial guidance of the first non-English manager – the Scotsman, Robert McClaren. He won the side promotion in 1968–69 and in 1973–74 the club finished 4th – their highest ever! McClaren left at the end of that season to join German club Hamburg. Former West Ham manager Harry Sidwell then took over as manager and had nearly 11 years in charge of the Dragons. There were a couple of decent Cup runs during his time, but nothing really materialised than mid-table positions and he left the club by mutual consent in May 1985. In June 1985, Kenny Bruce became the new manager and really revolutionised the club. He made young talent Terry Glover captain and built a team around young sensation Kevin Nelson. The revolution was a success and following a home win over Man City in May 1986, Harchester United were crowned Champions for the first time in the club's history. More good news followed the next month with Kevin Nelson becoming the first Dragon to play for England in the World Cup.
Steve Tomkins took over as boss and was responsible for the club's relegation at the end of 1989–90. In November 1992, former Youth Team player and die-hard Dragon Michael Jacobs took over control of the club. In December 1992, he decided to replace Tomkins as boss with the more experienced Ron Atkinson who'd left Aston Villa to take over. Big Ron made big changes, so much so that the reward paid off with promotion to the Premiership for the first time in 1993–94. Survival was then they key for the Dragons, and after doing so in their first season, they were relegated following a defeat to QPR at the end of the 1995–96 season. The following year, Harchester United reached the Semi Finals of the FA Cup and were also promoted back to the Premiership thanks to the fantastic goalscoring abilities of Karl Fletcher. Due to a lack of numbers in the squad Big Ron promotes youth team captain and son of Harchester United legend Ken Hocknell to the first team which pays off considerably. Big Ron wanted to improve the squad this time, but wasn't allowed funds by chairman Michael Jacobs, so he resigned from his job. Atkinson was replaced by former PSV Eindhoven boss Ian Coates who helped keep the club in the Premiership at the end of 1997–98 buying Dean Sturridge from Derby County helped save the club from the drop. Tragedy struck during that season however as chairman Michael Jacobs died of a heart attack during a training session in which he joined in with the squad. At the end of the season Dean Hocknell is sold to Galatasaray for 5 million and Dean Sturridge makes his way back to Derby for 500k.
In 1998–99 saw new changes to the club. Millionaire building supplies tycoon Jerry Block became the new chairman and was prepared to plough millions into the club. He signed Argentine sensation Luis Amor Rodriguez and together they'd bring the FA Cup to Harchester. However, in May 1999, following an FA Cup Final victory over Man Utd at Wembley stadium, an unknown hitman attempted to shoot Jerry Block's wife Lynda Block but shot club captain John Black dead instead. That summer seen the departure of Karl Fletcher after 7 years of service to Real Mallorca for 3.5 million. Tragedy followed that September too following the club's first European adventure. After knocking Ajax Amsterdam out of the UEFA Cup, four first team members were killed, Sean Hocknell, Gary Blackburn, Leon Richards and Vicktor Tankiev in a plane crash just off the coast of Dover on the way home from the game. Luis Amor Rodriguez quit as player/manager of Harchester United in March 2000 but stuck around as a player long enough to ensure the club fought off relegation before leaving for Boca Juniors. In Harchester United's first European adventure, they went out at the Quarter Final stage to Spanish side Real Mallorca where former hero Karl Fletcher was playing. He returned as a Dragon less than 24 hours after that match!
In 2000–01, Ray Wyatt brought in Nigerian striking sensation Monday Bandele from French side Paris St. Germain, just after Christmas in a massive coup for the club. The deal paid off as the signing turned the club around and a 3rd Place finish was enough to ensure UEFA Champions league football next term. The Champions League dream was short lived with defeat to the old adversary RCD Mallorca in the 3rd Qualifying Round. Under the later guidance of Patrick Doyle, European dreams were made with the Dragons first ever appearance in a European final. It was a 1–0 defeat to AC Milan in the UEFA Cup Final.
The Dragons were severely weakened for that game though following a coach crash whilst travelling to that game in which three players were killed. Following the accident, manager Patrick Doyle promised to bring success to the club but it was later revealed that he had another motive of attempting to relegate the club. When all this information came to light, it was revealed that goalkeeper Jamie Parker had been in on the plan and the Dragons were thrown out of the FA Cup which meant they lost their final place. They were allowed to replay their final Premiership game with Everton though which had previously been abandoned at Half Time as a now-mentally-ill Jamie Parker took the team hostage during the interval. He was killed by armed police following that incident. Harchester United did survive relegation after a Clyde Connelly goal and Tommy Moore penalty save but Doyle didn't as he was found dead, allegedly killed by the betting syndicate he had been working for.
In 2003–04, there was an ongoing court case taking place to decide just who should own the club following a raffle by former owner Phil Wallis. Whilst this was going on, it was damaging the club's reputation with sponsors and following a £28million transfer of Luke Davenport at the start of the year, ongoing financial trouble saw Harchester United cease trading in March 2004. This was not the choice of the club, but more the choice of Coopers Bank who were funding Harchester United's loans at the time. Following campaigning from players, staff, fans and other Premiership clubs, Coopers Bank gave Harchester United a reprieve until the end of the season. The signing of Davenport also brought about the second departure of club legend Karl Fletcher, in a move that was unpopular with players and fans alike. At the end of that season, qualification for the Champions league was achieved after a 3–2 win at home to Manchester United on the final day of the season. with goals from Danny Sullivan, Danny Mills and a late Lee Presley header. This was also the first time in their history Harchester had scored from three set pieces in the same match. However, the club were relegated on grounds of match fixing by UEFA following revelations by former Chief Executive Pilar Hernandez and former manager Stuart Naysmith. 2004–05 saw Harchester United in the Champions League and the newly formed Championship. The Dragons were brave in their European adventure reaching the Quarter Finals where they were knocked out by Arsenal. In the league, a Play Off Final victory over West Ham at the Millennium stadium in Cardiff secured promotion back to the Premiership at the first attempt.
However, tragedy struck when deranged ex-manager Don Barker, who had killed Harchester icon Karl Fletcher hours earlier, drove his auto into the team coach, with all but four members of the Harchester United party dying in the crash or the ensuing fire. The survivors Danny Sullivan, Darren Tyson and Ryan Naysmith, Viv Wright also survived the blaze but was never found, as for the other three survivors had to deal with the aftermath. This led to new owners, Dragons Corporation. It was later revealed that new striker Casper Rose was actually the owner of that company and ultimately Harchester United. This turn of events was only revealed after Rose had been killed. Before then however, Harchester United reached the League cup final for the first time where they lost out to Chelsea. The Dragons won the FA Cup for the second time in their history later that season with a 2–1 win over Arsenal thanks to a Darren Tyson double.
The 2006–07 season has started interestingly for the Dragons. Last season's success has paved the way for winger Ryan Naysmith to join Villarreal CF for 12 Million pounds and playmaker Hector to move to Bsyern Munich for 10 Million. Eugene Rose also sold his half of the club to Alex Rose and moved to Australia to play for Sydney FC. To replace these departures the club signed Miguel Lopez from Atlètico Madrid for an undisclosed fee and Pavel Kovac from AC Milan on a free transfer. The club also gave 19-year-old midfielder Jason Porter a one-month trial as he impressed Rose during a pre season friendly which he was later offered a professional contract. Despite this promise there was the usual dark cloud over the dragon's lair. The police made Lynda Block their prime suspect in the Casper Rose murder investigation and suspect Alex Rose in assisting in the crime. Because of this Block had fled Harchester leaving Alex Rose to confess to the killing of his half brother. This was done after he ensured that the club was in the right hands as he handed the manager's job to his former teammate Jimmy Craig and the chairman's role to head of the supporters club, Terry Harrison. Jimmy Craig had to deal with the loss of Kovac as he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and could face never playing again, and that the chairman wanted a high-profile manager. Despite these problems Craig has been able to guide the dragons to a (so far) unbeaten season. He has also promoted youth and reserve team stars such as Bradley Summers, Laurent Dioup, Jamie Cheeseman and Jason Porter to the first team who have impressed. He also signed midfielder Sean Campbell from Southend United to form a midfield partnership with new captain Liam MaKay. However the team lost defender Danny Sullivan to injury which forced him to retire. As the club could see how valuable his contribution to the club has been they offered him a coaching role.
Harchester United go on to win the premier league with Jason Porter scoring the winning goal against Chelsea, whilst celebrating the first league title in 21 years the Dragons Lair stadium engulfed in flames luckily nobody was killed and everybody was evacuated in time, Manager Jimmy Craig was found in the stadium and had suffered severe head injuries. Team coach and Dragons legend Danny Sullivan had a breakdown and handed himself into the police admitting the arson and also admitting to being the infamous Dragon slayer who had been terrorising the club staff for the majority of the season, he was later sectioned under the mental health act and took in for psychiatric treatment.

2016 – The Year I Went Around The World Finding Beauty Within Darkness
“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta
I have returned to the UK with a sinking feeling in my heart, in January I gave up my flat and put my things into a storage container to travel around the world with just a suitcase and camera bag as my home I’ve not missed my things one little bit. I began the new year with a fresh passport and have already filled half with stamps from all around the globe, but not only have I collected stamps, I’ve gained hundreds of memories that I will take to my grave, this year has been the best in my life.
I’ve been to 22 countries, Netherlands, Ukraine, Japan, Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Germany, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Greece, Austria, Slovakia, Hungry, Czech Republic, Greece, USA, Mexico, Cuba & Canada in 3 continents, Asia, Europe and USA. Kalinga, Chernobyl, Varanasi and Detroit will particularly always hold my heart.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” – Mark Twain
I’ve had 45 flights.
London, UK – Netherlands, Eindhoven  – London, UK  – Kiev, Ukraine  – London, UK  – Seoul, Korea – Fukuoka, Japan * Hiroshima, Japan – Tokyo, Japan – Manila, Philippines – Siem Reap, Cambodia * Phnom Penh, Cambodia – Bangkok, Thailand – Chaing Rai, Thailand  – Bangkok Thailand * Ko Phangan, Thailand * Phuket, Thailand – Hanoi, Vietnam – Da Nang, Vietnam – Singapore – Manila, Philippines  – Singapore  – Bali, Indonesia  – Ngura, Indonesia  – Bali, Indonesia – Makassar, Indonesia – Singapore  – New Delhi  – Varanasi  – Mumbai, India  – Doha, Quatar – London, UK – Berlin, Germany – London, UK  – Kefalonia, Greece  – London, UK  – Cologne, Germany – London, UK  – NYC, USA * Detroit, USA – NYC, USA  – Mexico City, Mexico – Havana, Cuba – Mexico City, Mexico – Cancun, Mexico  – Detroit, USA – Boston, USA * Philadelphia, USA – Detroit, USA – NYC, USA – London, UK
“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”
I’ve travelled for miles and miles and miles across every country by catamaran, bamboo train, bamboo raft, speed boat, tuk tuk, jeepney, train, motor bike, scooter, car, bus, truck, trike, auto rickshaw, boat, bullet train, cycle rickshaw, horse and walked 2000 km.
I Visited over 100 Dark Tourism sites, over 100 abandoned buildings and a load of tourist sites thrown in. I have two external hard drives with images to fill two books and two new decay photography series. I poured every inch of energy and passion into these photos and I’m exhausted but loved that every day was a different adventure. I can’t wait to start sharing them and the stories behind. Its been hard as I have had no time to edit and share them, I just can’t wait to show you all in my books which will come out in 2017 & 2018. I completely pushed myself out of my comfort zone and going the extra mile to capture them.
I just could never have imagined the things I’ve experienced, the beautiful people I’ve meet and the things I’ve seen. I’ve been travelling constantly since 2012 but never to this extent, I could never have dreamt I would have been able to do something like this and I feel very blessed.
I thank everyone who has followed my daily visual diary and been with me along the way. I started doing this just so my family knew I was still alive no matter where I may have been on the planet, but so many have you have watched this journey and worried when I didn’t update, I thank you for caring and your comments showing so much interest is what Ive been up to, I just didn’t expect that at all.
I’ve made every single day count, each hour has brought a new adventure. I’ve seen things I’d never thought I could imagine, experienced every sense, sight, sound, smell, touch in their extremities. I’ve meet so many wonderful humans along the way, making new friendships, some so strong they will remain in my heart until I die. Some just paths crossed but sharing happy moments together. I’ve had people show kindness all along the way and I feel truly blessed, thank you all for being part of this no matter how big or small.
At the start of the year in Ukraine I visited the abandoned town of Pripyat in Chernobyl for the third time whilst snow fell all around us, which was a completly new experience for me in this desolate place. It gained a sense of mystery and sadness, which will always remain with me. Seeing a place so full of desolation and despair, makes you realise how special life is and Im glad to have had this experience at the start of this year.
In Japan I explored the abandoned streets of nuclear Fukushima, walked for miles in the Japanese suicide forest and amongst the cherry blossoms and bamboo forests of Japan, eaten fresh sushi and seen beautiful castles. It was my first time experiencing a culture so different to in Europe and the USA and was a perfect start to my 4 month trip around Asia.
In the Philippines I rode on the top of a Jeepney, sun on my skin and wind in my hair and visited 1000 year old Kabayan mummies in a secret cave. I walked across rope bridges with breathtaking mountain views as far as the eye can see. Saw my first water buffalo, drank rice wine for the first time and got crazy drunk. I saw the incredible Banaue rice terraces and then travelled to Sagada to sleep in a wooden hut and see hanging coffins on a cliff with some Iranians.
I’ve discovered the ancient ruins of Ankor Wat in Cambodia and rode for hours through the dust in a tuk tuk, I rode on the back of my first motor bike and started an addiction for that. I watched the sunrise over a mystical temple and had my photo taken with a monk. I’ve cried tears at the killing fields in Cambodia and watched a lightning storm from high up overlooking dry land as far as I could see monkeys ran around my feet. I’ve got drunk with friends, danced and eaten insects.
In Thailand I meet an elephant, visited the black and white temples which took my breathe away, spent time on the beach with my good friends, relaxing and got taught to hula hoop under a full moon. I volunteered at an animal shelter in Ko Phangan by dressing up doggies and taking their photo.
Vietnam I spent hours walking around Hanoi getting lost in the bustle of the old town and then got stupidity drunk one night, it was so much fun but I missed my tour to Halong bay because of a mega hangover. I sat on the back of a motor bike on an unforgettable trip around Da Nang and visited  my cousin and her family in Ho Chi Min city.
Back in the Philippines I climbed my first mountain, lay on the top camping under the stars and felt my first earth quake under my body. I taught a little boy in a hut at the top of a mountain how to make selfies on my phone. I slept in a wooden hut and sat round a bonfire while everyone played guitar, drank and sang. Travelled to the far remote village of Kalinga a mystical land where I was tattooed by a 98 year old lady and her grand daughter with an orange tree needle and the ink with the ash of a fire, while native pigs ran all around me.
In Indonesia I got a poke tattoo meaning beauty, rode a horse up a volcano and stood on the top of the crater as it erupted and covered me from head to toe in black dust. I trekked up my second mountain in the darkness of morning and down into the crater to witness the blue flames of burning sulphur and then made a campfire at the summit to watch the sunrise. I witnessed my first dead body and felt true happiness of the power of life through seeing death. I attended a unique funeral in a place where death is celebrated more then life and watched the death of animals for the first time, buffalo and pigs died but it taught me a lesson on the importance of life and how fleeting it can be.
In India I spent three weeks in the holy lands of Varanasi, spending each day in a weird trance like state. The power of spirituality constantly around me, I felt at home here, surrounded by the beauty of decay and in this place where my senses in every way where heightened I felt at peace with the world. I watched the cremation of bodies by the side of the river Ganges and smiled at a culture where death could be beautiful. I bathed in the river Ganges with friends at 2am and danced in the rain in moments of pure joy. Every day I drank chai and eat an assortment of curries and bought an Indian wedding dress which my friend took photos of around the streets of Varanasi. I felt pure happiness as I explored the slums of Mumbai, had kids swarming around me with the biggest smiles on their faces, despite living in such bad conditions.
On return from Asia I went on a 20 day road trip with one of my new best friends and favourite clown Ben, who I had only known 5 hours before we embarked on a 20,000 km road trip around Europe, we got on like we had known each other for years. We meet up with amazing people along the way and visited hundreds of jewelled skeletons, mummies and crypts along with a tonne of abandoned buildings, drinking lots of wine and forging a strong friendship that means the world to me. (Miss you Ben)
I photographed my good friends Stephi and Sean’s wedding in Greece, such a beautiful magical day filled with laughter and some pushing in pools very early in the morning and waking up in the best mans bed (he wasn’t in it, he’d just been a gentleman to the drunk photographer who got pushed fully clothed into the pool)
I last minute booked a flight to Cologne for Photokina where I spent a week surrounded by incredibly talented photographers from all around the world, in an apartment sharing laughs, food, drink and inspiration. Got photographed by the mightly talented Renee Robyn in a giant ballgown in front of hundreds of people at Cologne Cathedral.

Returning to the UK for a couple of weeks I caught up with family and friends and made a couple of special new ones. Before flying to the USA where I spent two months road tripping around 8 states. We drove from NYC to Detroit capturing dark tourism sites and abandoned buildings.
For so long I’d wanted to explore Detroit and it was special for me to finally be there. I watched the sunset on a crumbling Detroit rooftop with a new special person in my life, drinking beer and then sat with him in his truck on the Detroit, Canada border dancing in the rain at midnight. With promise that hopefully I could return to actually cross the border.
I partied in NYC with inspiring USA photographers and meet some I have wanted to hook up with for ages, caught up with my NYC photography agent and did a shoot in Central Park with a bunch of incredibly talented photographers.
Taken by Vincent Minor
In Mexico, with my bro from another mother and awesome friends I experienced the Day of the Dead Festival, photographed the slums in Mexico City, went to the haunted island of dead dolls, Mexican Pyramids and  road tripped 9 hours on Halloween to see creepy Mexican mummies, which were totally the best dead things I’ve laid my eyes on.
We flew to Havana, Cuba where we walked for hours in the blasting sunshine capturing photos of the beautifully crumbling buildings. Rode in gorgeous vintage cars and got stupidity drunk at an arty party capturing the hearts of many Cuban guys.
Returning to the USA I spent my final weeks of this adventure first in Salem where I saw where the Salem witch trials happened, with my beloved kind friend Karen I got a pentagram and Ether symbol tattooed on my ankles.  I stayed with great friends Shannon and Dave for a week in their gorgeous home in Rhode Island exploring beautiful abandoned buildings in 4 states. I will never forget the ticks that attacked me and Shannon, multiple 5am wake up times, exploring in the snow and some tricky entries into some epic buildings.
I got a bus to NYC and spent my first thanks giving, watched the Macy thanks giving parade and eating turkey with wonderful new friends, remembering how thankful I am to be alive and living this life.
And slowly it began to dawn on me that it would all be over very soon, knowing I had just two weeks left, I made plans to spend time exploring decaying buildings in Philadelphia and then back to Detroit which held my heart. I spent 100 blissful hours in the arms of a special guy who took me raving in downtown Detroit, On my last day we ventured into Canada for burgers, more partying and an airbnb where we lay on the floor next to a glowing fire. a perfect end to the perfect year. I’m left heartbroken for so many reasons that all this is ending, it feels like I have been stabbed heard in the heart and even writing this blog I am choked by happy and sad tears, think of everything I have done.
People ask me along the way if I’m here for business or pleasure. Ultimately I am working on a photography book commission and also as an anthropological researcher so I can write a thesis in 2017. These have funded this travel and so it has been important for me to achieve what is necessary for these things. I’ve been so exhausted at some stages, but I always kept pushing not wanting to miss a second, always saying yes to every opportunity that throws itself at me. Sometimes after long days travelling for hours, shooting in hot or freezing temperatures and countless km’s walking I arrive back to where I’m sleeping in the early hours in the morning, running on empty I need to find the strength to charge batteries, back up photos, pack, arrange tours and hotels. But I wouldn’t change it, I love how the crazy pace of life.
This work has been ridden with a huge sense of pleasure, I’ve squeezed into my busy schedule time to see other things that wasn’t necessarily for my work and also found the time out to just enjoy a bit of social and relaxation time. I’m lucky in that I can say I feel so passionate about my work that I feel truly blessed and lucky that I can call this my job.
This year has been unforgettable for my life. I have learnt that I no longer need a house and possessions  to be truly happy. I’d sooner collect memories then digits in my bank account. I’ve witnessed true poverty with people living with so little but with the biggest smiles on their faces and this to me has been life changing. I know I’m destined to migrate in time, my only ties to the uk are my mum, dad, nan and my brothers family and where ever I end up they will always be in my heart like they have been on this trip and there will always be plenty of visits. The world is my playground and I lust over these moments. I cry as all this has all touched my soul in more ways then one, I am in love with these people and cultures  I’ve seen that even in poverty these people smile and are grateful with even the small things in life. I have been a free spirit for this a year, I’ve never been happier.
This is a new chapter for my life and I’m fully prepared to lead it now with no structure whatsoever. I just know I’m not one to settle down and I just want to feel free. I have no plans to take my possessions out of the storage container I placed them in January, I’m even toying with the idea of losing some ‘stuff’. I have no desire for things and I’m quite happy to just live with a back pack and camera, just continuing to explore this beautiful world for as long as I can and I already have new ideas for book projects to take me to new countries I wish to experience.
And to the people! I’ve meet up with so many incredible humans along the way, I’ve meet up with over 150 of you fantastic individuals this year and I thank you all for your friendships and time. And to my auntie Diana who I lost in September you will always be in my thoughts. And especially those that have spent time to help me create my book Fukushima and Dark Tourism. These are now 95% photographically complete and return to Fukushima comes out in just 3 months and Dark Tourism a year after that. I have come in contact with so many souls along the way this year, love to you all and I hope our paths will cross again in my life story.
I am a dark soul laced with the beauty I see in my surroundings. I choose to encompass myself with death and decay, but my existence is a banding of the beauty found in darkness. I have battled for so many years on why this sorrow consumes my existence, but now I have come to realise it is fine, I am fearless. I used to worry about my difference, my inability to fit in with the normal world, but I have come to realise that I can make a living from being an artistic soul. It makes me unique and therefore it is not something to try and hide.
My camera is how I view the world, it is my key to express the malevolence, beauty and melancholia that manifests inside my dark heart, it is my cathartic release to the visions of surreal darkness that lie inside my mind. I find that my antidote is to seek out in this unique world the beauty found in darkness, poetry and meaning in the forgotten, surreal, worlds amongst decay. My artworks breathe life into forgotten locations, they reawaken old narratives, find beauty and meaning in their shadowy ruin, revive the memories of lost moments in places tainted by the indigenous.
Unseen to the ordinary public who pass their boarded windows and fenced walls, I find entry to these mystical places hidden to the world, I sensitively capture them as beautiful piece of art as they deserve to be recorded for posterity too, before they are lost as time rolls inexorably on and they merely become ashes and dust. I capture the stories and characteristics through carefully composed images to include the romanticism and delicate memories of these ruins. In reality they will cease to exist very soon and as the memories fade, these places and the souls who once gave life to them will be forgotten, I find my inspiration in places lost in time.
I feel euphoria as I grow and never stop learning from this magical gift of capturing the emotion of these realms of the unconscious. I follow the ethereal light amongst the darkness, in finding emotion and serenity in these mystical locations. I will continue to push the boundaries of my work, never stop learning, make sacrifices and find courage to achieve the things I dream of. I have always believed to not put off until tomorrow what can be done today and that life is not about collecting possessions but experiences, when you are dead these will decay and be gone like so many of the haunting places I choose to take my camera
Living is about experiences, dreaming, challenging yourself, loving, travelling, collecting memories not things, as long as I can remember my life has been one big adventure. I dream big, photography is my passion, it consumes me, it makes this world real and the wonderment of creating art is more important to me then the air I inhale, it is my enchanted door away from the demons inside.
My soul is dark
But my existence full of light
I find beauty in darkness and this reflects in everything I create.

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta
I have returned to the UK with a sinking feeling in my heart, in January I gave up my flat and put my things into a storage container to travel around the world with just a suitcase and camera bag as my home I’ve not missed my things one little bit. I began the new year with a fresh passport and have already filled half with stamps from all around the globe, but not only have I collected stamps, I’ve gained hundreds of memories that I will take to my grave, this year has been the best in my life.
I’ve been to 22 countries, Netherlands, Ukraine, Japan, Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Germany, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Greece, Austria, Slovakia, Hungry, Czech Republic, Greece, USA, Mexico, Cuba & Canada in 3 continents, Asia, Europe and USA. Kalinga, Chernobyl, Varanasi and Detroit will particularly always hold my heart.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” – Mark Twain
I’ve had 45 flights.
London, UK – Netherlands, Eindhoven  – London, UK  – Kiev, Ukraine  – London, UK  – Seoul, Korea – Fukuoka, Japan * Hiroshima, Japan – Tokyo, Japan – Manila, Philippines – Siem Reap, Cambodia * Phnom Penh, Cambodia – Bangkok, Thailand – Chaing Rai, Thailand  – Bangkok Thailand * Ko Phangan, Thailand * Phuket, Thailand – Hanoi, Vietnam – Da Nang, Vietnam – Singapore – Manila, Philippines  – Singapore  – Bali, Indonesia  – Ngura, Indonesia  – Bali, Indonesia – Makassar, Indonesia – Singapore  – New Delhi  – Varanasi  – Mumbai, India  – Doha, Quatar – London, UK – Berlin, Germany – London, UK  – Kefalonia, Greece  – London, UK  – Cologne, Germany – London, UK  – NYC, USA * Detroit, USA – NYC, USA  – Mexico City, Mexico – Havana, Cuba – Mexico City, Mexico – Cancun, Mexico  – Detroit, USA – Boston, USA * Philadelphia, USA – Detroit, USA – NYC, USA – London, UK
“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”
I’ve travelled for miles and miles and miles across every country by catamaran, bamboo train, bamboo raft, speed boat, tuk tuk, jeepney, train, motor bike, scooter, car, bus, truck, trike, auto rickshaw, boat, bullet train, cycle rickshaw, horse and walked 2000 km.
I Visited over 100 Dark Tourism sites, over 100 abandoned buildings and a load of tourist sites thrown in. I have two external hard drives with images to fill two books and two new decay photography series. I poured every inch of energy and passion into these photos and I’m exhausted but loved that every day was a different adventure. I can’t wait to start sharing them and the stories behind. Its been hard as I have had no time to edit and share them, I just can’t wait to show you all in my books which will come out in 2017 & 2018. I completely pushed myself out of my comfort zone and going the extra mile to capture them.
I just could never have imagined the things I’ve experienced, the beautiful people I’ve meet and the things I’ve seen. I’ve been travelling constantly since 2012 but never to this extent, I could never have dreamt I would have been able to do something like this and I feel very blessed.
I thank everyone who has followed my daily visual diary and been with me along the way. I started doing this just so my family knew I was still alive no matter where I may have been on the planet, but so many have you have watched this journey and worried when I didn’t update, I thank you for caring and your comments showing so much interest is what Ive been up to, I just didn’t expect that at all.
I’ve made every single day count, each hour has brought a new adventure. I’ve seen things I’d never thought I could imagine, experienced every sense, sight, sound, smell, touch in their extremities. I’ve meet so many wonderful humans along the way, making new friendships, some so strong they will remain in my heart until I die. Some just paths crossed but sharing happy moments together. I’ve had people show kindness all along the way and I feel truly blessed, thank you all for being part of this no matter how big or small.
At the start of the year in Ukraine I visited the abandoned town of Pripyat in Chernobyl for the third time whilst snow fell all around us, which was a completly new experience for me in this desolate place. It gained a sense of mystery and sadness, which will always remain with me. Seeing a place so full of desolation and despair, makes you realise how special life is and Im glad to have had this experience at the start of this year.
In Japan I explored the abandoned streets of nuclear Fukushima, walked for miles in the Japanese suicide forest and amongst the cherry blossoms and bamboo forests of Japan, eaten fresh sushi and seen beautiful castles. It was my first time experiencing a culture so different to in Europe and the USA and was a perfect start to my 4 month trip around Asia.
In the Philippines I rode on the top of a Jeepney, sun on my skin and wind in my hair and visited 1000 year old Kabayan mummies in a secret cave. I walked across rope bridges with breathtaking mountain views as far as the eye can see. Saw my first water buffalo, drank rice wine for the first time and got crazy drunk. I saw the incredible Banaue rice terraces and then travelled to Sagada to sleep in a wooden hut and see hanging coffins on a cliff with some Iranians.
I’ve discovered the ancient ruins of Ankor Wat in Cambodia and rode for hours through the dust in a tuk tuk, I rode on the back of my first motor bike and started an addiction for that. I watched the sunrise over a mystical temple and had my photo taken with a monk. I’ve cried tears at the killing fields in Cambodia and watched a lightning storm from high up overlooking dry land as far as I could see monkeys ran around my feet. I’ve got drunk with friends, danced and eaten insects.
In Thailand I meet an elephant, visited the black and white temples which took my breathe away, spent time on the beach with my good friends, relaxing and got taught to hula hoop under a full moon. I volunteered at an animal shelter in Ko Phangan by dressing up doggies and taking their photo.
Vietnam I spent hours walking around Hanoi getting lost in the bustle of the old town and then got stupidity drunk one night, it was so much fun but I missed my tour to Halong bay because of a mega hangover. I sat on the back of a motor bike on an unforgettable trip around Da Nang and visited  my cousin and her family in Ho Chi Min city.
Back in the Philippines I climbed my first mountain, lay on the top camping under the stars and felt my first earth quake under my body. I taught a little boy in a hut at the top of a mountain how to make selfies on my phone. I slept in a wooden hut and sat round a bonfire while everyone played guitar, drank and sang. Travelled to the far remote village of Kalinga a mystical land where I was tattooed by a 98 year old lady and her grand daughter with an orange tree needle and the ink with the ash of a fire, while native pigs ran all around me.
In Indonesia I got a poke tattoo meaning beauty, rode a horse up a volcano and stood on the top of the crater as it erupted and covered me from head to toe in black dust. I trekked up my second mountain in the darkness of morning and down into the crater to witness the blue flames of burning sulphur and then made a campfire at the summit to watch the sunrise. I witnessed my first dead body and felt true happiness of the power of life through seeing death. I attended a unique funeral in a place where death is celebrated more then life and watched the death of animals for the first time, buffalo and pigs died but it taught me a lesson on the importance of life and how fleeting it can be.
In India I spent three weeks in the holy lands of Varanasi, spending each day in a weird trance like state. The power of spirituality constantly around me, I felt at home here, surrounded by the beauty of decay and in this place where my senses in every way where heightened I felt at peace with the world. I watched the cremation of bodies by the side of the river Ganges and smiled at a culture where death could be beautiful. I bathed in the river Ganges with friends at 2am and danced in the rain in moments of pure joy. Every day I drank chai and eat an assortment of curries and bought an Indian wedding dress which my friend took photos of around the streets of Varanasi. I felt pure happiness as I explored the slums of Mumbai, had kids swarming around me with the biggest smiles on their faces, despite living in such bad conditions.
On return from Asia I went on a 20 day road trip with one of my new best friends and favourite clown Ben, who I had only known 5 hours before we embarked on a 20,000 km road trip around Europe, we got on like we had known each other for years. We meet up with amazing people along the way and visited hundreds of jewelled skeletons, mummies and crypts along with a tonne of abandoned buildings, drinking lots of wine and forging a strong friendship that means the world to me. (Miss you Ben)
I photographed my good friends Stephi and Sean’s wedding in Greece, such a beautiful magical day filled with laughter and some pushing in pools very early in the morning and waking up in the best mans bed (he wasn’t in it, he’d just been a gentleman to the drunk photographer who got pushed fully clothed into the pool)
I last minute booked a flight to Cologne for Photokina where I spent a week surrounded by incredibly talented photographers from all around the world, in an apartment sharing laughs, food, drink and inspiration. Got photographed by the mightly talented Renee Robyn in a giant ballgown in front of hundreds of people at Cologne Cathedral.

Benfica reach Champions League group stage
Eduardo Salvio scored twice, including a penalty, as Benfica beat PAOK 5-2 on aggregate to make it through to Thursday’s Champions League draw.
The teams were tied 1-1 after the first leg in Greece and Aleksandar Prijovic put the visitors ahead on the night.
But goals from Jardel, two from Salvio and Pizzi put Benfica in control, with PAOK having Leo Matos sent off.
Benfica’s victory means they take a spot in pot two ahead of last season’s runners-up Liverpool.
Dutch champions and 1988 European Cup winners PSV Eindhoven safely made it through to the group stages with a 6-2 aggregate win over BATE Borisov.
Mark van Bommel’s side won the second leg 3-0 courtesy of goals from Steven Bergwijn, Luuk de Jong and Mexico international Hirving Lozano and will be in pot three.
Red Star Belgrade, who lifted the European Cup in 1991, took their place in pot four by coming from 2-0 behind to draw 2-2 against Salzburg and making through on away goals.
Munas Dabbur struck twice for the Austrian champions, but two goals in two minutes from El Fardou Ben Nabouhane and Milos Degenek was enough for Red Star.

2019 Jaguar I-Pace Review: From London to Berlin in an All-Electric Jag
Jabbeke was the making of the Jaguar XK120. On May 30, 1949, a prototype of the iconic English sports car was timed at 132.6 mph along a closed section of freeway just outside this Belgian town.
Seven decades on, Jabbeke looks like the breaking of the Jaguar I-Pace—the all-wheel-drive electric crossover that’s as significant a Jaguar as the XK120. We’re plugged into the third fast charger we’ve found in the area, but energy is trickling into the battery. We arrived with 12 miles of range left. We could be here all night.
Why are we here? In the 1960s, Denis Jenkinson, the “continental correspondent” for Britain’s Motor Sport magazine—and the man who’d ridden alongside Stirling Moss en route to their victory in the 1955 Mille Miglia—drove his E-type across Europe from grand prix to grand prix. A half century later we’re attempting to drive more than 700 miles from London in a different type of e-Jaguar to an e-prix—the ninth round of the Formula E championship in Berlin. It’s been five hours since we arrived in Jabbeke. The romance is wearing thin.
We’ve learned a lot in those five hours. Many of the smartphone apps designed to find fast chargers in Europe are inaccurate and hard to use. There’s no easy way to pay for a charge—different suppliers require credit or debit card information on different apps, and some only accept a prepaid card. And our pre-production I-Pace will only take a trickling 22 kW from the Efacec chargers in this part of Belgium. A software issue, apparently.
Jaguar technicians advise us to look for newer fast chargers. One of the apps shows an ABB 50-kW charger at an Audi dealer in Ghent. A call confirms it’s the right charger, that it’s working, and that we’re welcome to use it. But, we’re warned, the power shuts off at 6 p.m. It just turned 5 p.m. The dealership is 32 miles away. We’ve managed to get enough charge for 41 miles. Time to roll the dice.
With 9 miles of range remaining, we pull into NAM Zuid Audi in Ghent at 5:48 p.m., where service manager Johan de Vos offers to keep the power on for as long as we need it. We plug in, and the I-Pace starts sucking down precious kilowatts. An hour and 45 minutes later, the instrument panel shows the battery at 98 percent and range at 231 miles, near the 240-mile max claimed on Jaguar’s U.S. website. We’re back on the road in the most revolutionary Jaguar in history—one that could wrest the EV conversation away from Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors.
As BEV platforms go, the I-Pace’s skateboard layout is conventional. There’s a motor at each end, one driving the front wheels, the other the rear, and in between is a liquid-cooled 90-kW-hr battery pack with 432 lithium-ion cells that also provides structural integrity for the chassis. The Jaguar-developed motors are synchronous permanent magnet units with concentric transmissions that align the motors with the axles. Total output is 394 hp and 512 lb-ft.
The multilink front suspension is from the F-Type; at the rear is an evolution of the integral link suspension used in the F-Pace and E-Pace. Height-adjustable air suspension drops the ride height 1.6 inches for entry/exit and 0.4 inch at speeds above 65 mph to further reduce drag; it can raise it 2.0 inches for off-road work. A sealed battery allows it to wade through water almost 20 inches deep.
We cruise at 70–75 mph across the flatlands of Belgium and into Holland, battling blustery winds off the North Sea. The optimum setup for freeway cruising involves selecting Eco mode, which optimizes HVAC and other settings for maximum efficiency, and setting the regenerative braking mode to low, which helps maintain momentum when you lift off the accelerator. As we pull into our hotel in Eindhoven for the night, the trip computer shows the I-Pace’s energy consumption is averaging 41.8 kW-hr per 100 miles (80 mpg-equivalent).
Next morning, over the border in Germany, we find an ABB 50-kW charger that brings the battery back to 96 percent, giving us 221 miles of range. That’s more than enough to get us to a VW dealership in Hannover, 145 miles down the autobahn, where another ABB 50-kW charger should give us enough juice for the final stint into Berlin. With our charging strategy figured out and range in hand, there’s time for some fun.
Much of Germany’s autobahn is subject to speed limits, so we spend a lot of time at 75–80 mph. There’s not much wind today, but the higher speed boosts consumption to 43 kW-hr per 100 miles. On one derestricted stretch I wind the I-Pace up near its 124-mph Vmax. It gets there easily, but I burn 6 miles of range in the process (and yes, a gasoline version would also burn fuel with such a surge). Feeling guilty at the extravagance, I back off and settle down to 75–80 mph again.
Like most electric cars, the I-Pace doesn’t have a relaxed highway gait. Even gentle cruising requires more pressure on the accelerator than you’d need with an internal combustion engine to keep it rolling along. As soon as you lift off, the Jag hungrily starts harvesting energy.
As we approach Hannover, we encounter the first of a number of traffic jams that will blight our run to Berlin. I turn off creep mode, which makes the I-Pace act like a car with a conventional automatic transmission, and switch the brake regen back to high. Configured this way, the I-Pace can be driven using one pedal; you use the brake only if you have to stop in a hurry. It’s the optimum setup for city and urban driving, and it helps overall energy consumption. Stop-start shuffling and prolonged cruising at 50 to 60 mph saw the I-Pace use 28.9 kW-hr per 100 miles (117 mpg-e) for the final 50 miles to our Hannover stop.
We luxuriate in our first 100 percent charge and celebrate by heading onto a winding road. The I-Pace is fast and fluid, its instant-on torque delivering a creamy surge of acceleration. But it also feels heavy, and not just because of the big wheels and wide tires. Steering requires more effort than expected. Although the mass is low in the chassis—the center of gravity is 5.1 inches lower than that of an F-Type—there’s a zaftig cadence to the I-Pace’s primary ride motions that is unlike any other Jaguar. As on the freeway, it’s best to have the brake regen switched to low; the I-Pace flows better down the road, and you can more precisely slow the car on corner entry.
Fun over, we pop back out onto the A2 autobahn. With an indicated 202 miles of range and 160 miles to go, it should be a piece of cake. Germany might have the fastest roads on earth, but the A2 isn’t one of them, with long sections under repair and jammed with trucks heading to Poland and Russia. Four hours later, we pull into our hotel’s parking garage, not far from Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, with 20 miles of range to spare. We arrive dog-tired but ache-free—the I-Pace’s seats are supportive and comfortable.
It’s been an epic 734-mile road trip, a journey that at times had us feeling like the crew of Apollo 13, calculating energy use and contemplating points of no return. But this much we now know: The strikingly styled Jaguar I-Pace is the real deal, a genuine Tesla fighter. It feels plusher to live with and more organic to drive, and it fills the white space between the P75D versions of the Model S sedan and Model X SUV that are its nearest rivals. All it needs now is for the charging infrastructure to catch up.

Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy: The Tradition Continues
Jaguar has a long motorsport tradition, highlighted most famously by notable victories at Le Mans but also wins in other forms of sports car and touring car racing, as well as road rallies. It even had a Formula 1 team.
The Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy takes that tradition in a new direction. The eTrophy has been developed for a one-make race series that will support the 2019 FIA Formula E championship. It will be an arrive-and-drive series, with competitors paying about $530,000 to show up and race fully prepared and maintained cars. Bend it, and they mend it—however, the price doesn’t include the cost of crash repairs.
The eTrophy cars are stripped-out and strengthened I-Paces. Removing most of the interior has reduced weight by 500 pounds despite the addition of a full roll cage that ties together the front structure and rear suspension. The suspension has been modified, using parts from the XE Project 8 sedan. The brakes have been replaced with AP Racing units with steel rotors and larger calipers.
The powertrain remains standard, as does the battery pack, but the control electronics developed by the engineering arm of the Williams F1 team are new. They will allow race engineers to tune brake regeneration and power and torque splits, plus pull power more aggressively from the battery.
The eTrophy rolls on 22-inch wheels fitted with treaded Michelin tires. As in Formula E, where the single-seat racers also use treaded tires, the French t from PerformanceJunk WP Feed 3 https://ift.tt/2LlOkUz via IFTTT

Europa League: Få historien, se vinderne, og find ud af hvordan du ser kampene live
Image: 
Det er noget helt specielt at følge sit hold, hvis de spiller i udlandet. Det fællesskab, man har med sine medfans, er unikt, og der er ikke noget som at kaste sig i armene på tilfældige ligesindede og fejre en scoring og eventuelt en sejr. Omvendt hjælper det også at have nogen at dele gravøl med, når holdet taber.
Oftest vil de danske hold være at finde i Europa League, selvom vi også har stole traditioner for at have (danske hold i Champions League), så er det er chancen for deltagelse meget større af den simple grund, at vi har flere hold, der spiller med i kvalifikationen til gruppe pillet i Europa League.
Det kan til tider være svært at finde diverse kvalifikationskampe på TV, men her kan du i stedet benytte dig af muligheden for at live streame kampene. Dette kan ofte gøres igennem en bookmaker, men det vil vi fortælle nærmere om i et senere afsnit.
Europa League bliver skabt
Man kan ikke fortænke nogen i at blive en anelse forvirrede over historien i Europa League. På UEFA’s hjemmeside daterer de turneringen tilbage til 1971, men Europa League i den form, man ser i dag, blev skabt i 2009 i forbindelse med, at man rebrandede hele turneringen og ændrede navnet til UEFA Europa League.
For at styrke brandet Europa League valgte man at smelte den sammen med Inter Toto Cuppen.
Den store omvæltning skete dog et par år tidligere, da man i 2004-2005 indførte gruppespillet, men også i 1999 skete der store ændringer, da man lagde UEFA Cuppen sammen med Pokalvindernes Europa Cup.
Fra at have et væld af turneringer at deltage i, har man i UEFA valgt kun at have to, hvilket ændrede kriterierne for, hvem der kvalificerer sig til at spille kvalifikation til gruppespillet i Europa League.
Turneringen har ofte været kendt som skraldespandsturneringen, da ingen af de store hold gik op i at hverken vinde eller deltage i den lille af UEFA’s turneringer.
Men det blev der lavet om på ved den seneste regelændring i 2016, hvor vinderen af Europa League, får en plads i gruppespillet i Champions League.
Først var det Sevilla, som kom i Champions League på den måde, og herefter var sejren i Europa League, det som redede José Mourinhos første sæson i Manchester United. De endte på en placering et godt stykke fra top-fire i Premier League, men er med i kampen om Pokalen med de store Ører, da de slog Ajax Amsterdam i Europa League-finalen, som blev spilles på Friends Arena i Stockholm.
Hvem kvalificerer sig til at spille Europa League
I dag afgøres antallet af pladser i kvalifikationen af ens hjemlige turnerings placering på UEFA’s koefficientliste. De hold, der deltager i europæiske samler point, når de vinder eller spiller uafgjort. De hold der har flet point, har flest plader i de to internationale turneringer.              
Danmark har i skrivende stund fire pladser til de to kvalifikationer. En enkelt til Champions League og tre til Europa League.
Men det er en lang vej til et eventuelt gruppespil, da de træder ind i første eller anden af de fire kvalifikationsrunder.
Man kan også spille sig i gruppespillet som en trøstepræmie. Ryger man ud af den sidste runde af kvalifikationen til Champions League, bliver man nemlig tildelt en plads i gruppespillet i Europa League som plaster på såret.
En helt tredje måde at komme ind i turneringen på et ved at blive nummer tre i sin gruppe i Champions League. Det vil betyde, at man misser muligheden for forårets ottendedelsfinale i kampen om Pokalen med de store Ører, men i stedet får man en plads i knockout-kampe i Europa League. Ofte er det iblandt disse hold, at vinderen bliver fundet, da det nemt kan være nogle mastodonter, som kommer ind i turneringen her.
Sevilla har taget patent på Europa League
De seneste år der det spanske Sevilla, der har haft størst succes i Europa League. I 2006 stod de i deres første finale, som blev vundet over engelske Middlesbrough med 4-0. Året efter skulle de ud i straffespark i en ren spansk finale imod Espanyol.
Herefter fulgte næsten et årti, før de igen vandt turneringen igen i 2014. Det blev til tre sejre på stribe, og det er efterhånden blevet en stående joke iblandt fodboldfolk, at hvis Sevilla deltager i Europa League, så vinder de også.

  Sådan ser du Europa League på TV eller Live stream
Der er mange måder at se Europa League på TV eller via live stream. I Danmark er det SBS Discovery, der har købt rettighederne til vise Europa League.
Det betyder, at du skal have adgang til 6’eren, Canal 9 eller EuroSport, hvis man vil kunne følge de danske hold i Europa via dit TV.
Man kan også vælge at benytte sig af en direkte live stream. Her er det konto en hos dplay.dk, du skal have fat i, da det er streamingtjeneste, der hører til SBS Discovery.
Hvad angår kvalifikationskampene, er tingene til anderledes.
Rettighederne til at vise kvalifikationskampene bliver forhandlet af klubberne selv, og derfor er det ofte forskelligt, hvem der vælger at springe til.
Her kan man med fordel ofte benytte sig af muligheden for at live streame Europa League igennem sin bookmaker.
Alle de store bookmakere som eksempelvis bet365, Unibet og Nordicbet har live stream af fodbold som en del af tilbuddet til deres kunder.
Det er gratis at live streame fodbold hos bookmakerne, så længe man har penge stående på sin spillekonto. Dog skal man være opmærksom på, at der kan være forskellige restriktioner i forhold til IP-adresse.
Mulighederne er mange, det er bare at hoppe ombord.
