What age do cricket photographers retire?
You can do it as long as you can really. There was a chap who died just recently called Bill Smith who was the Arsenal photographer and MCC photographer. He was well into his eighties and still photographing things. You can do it as long as you can. It's how much you want to put up with, that's the thing. How much you want to go to football matches and be abused by crowds and that sort of stuff. That's the bit that would wear you down. I always see cricket as a game you can sort of grow old gracefully in, because if you look at the game, if you look at the people playing it, amateurs as well as the professionals, professionals can go on well past a lot of other sports. Then you look at clubs and villages all around the country, you have people in their seventies and eighties playing cricket. It's a great game. It's one of those games, it's such a good social game as well. I'm quite happy with cricket. That's the nice thing about cricket. Because you can go through to just about any age, I would have thought, and still be felt to part of that scene.
