He said in an interview:

What makes a great football picture? Being in the right place with the right lens and... luck! After a working lifetime in sport for a national newspaper, with 80% of my time spent concentrating on football, I know that I have been very, very lucky. For me it was always about 'Incidents'. I was always looking for an incident that had gone unnoticed, something off the ball, something to make the reader stop and take a second look and think "I didn't see that!"^[2]
