I was asked by Channel 4 to head over to Coventry City FC ground at the end of May to take some publicity shots for ‘Football Cops’ and had an enjoyable couple hours shooting some of the contributors to the programme. Thanks to Series Producer Director Jezza Neumann for his trust, clear direction and help lugging and holding my kit up and down the steps and also to Caroline Dearing from Channel 4 for the gig. Catch it on demand now. Show blurb below:

Football Cops is a four-part series following the challenging work of officers from the UK Football Policing Unit for the very first time. Each professional club in Britain has a Dedicated Football Officer who works under the radar to tackle the violence, disorder and anti-social behaviour which historically has gone hand-in-hand with Britain’s most-loved game.

They’ve never been filmed until now and this is their story. Filmed across the 2022-23 season, each episode takes viewers behind-the-scenes of the huge policing operation which goes into every game – from the England team to the Premier League right down to the bottom tiers – as specialised officers try to root out troublemakers, keep rival fans apart and diffuse tensions before they spiral out of control.

With unprecedented access to the UK Football Policing Unit, Football Cops will offer a fascinating look behind-the-scenes of a sport watched by 30 million devoted fans every year. Full of drama, tension, and laughs, this thrilling series will show a side to the game – and the police – which has never seen before.
