A note to my favourite footballer

When people make enquiries I’m often asked if I work Sundays.

I used to, but now I’m using my camera for a different reason.

Every Sunday you’ll find me at the sidelines watching my son Jude.

You’ll have maybe seen me share some of his images previously.

Teenagers are a funny bunch of creatures, especially boys. I know my son doesn’t post any pics of himself and he will occasionally throw me a mercy “like” on social media if it’s a picture of him but then you have some on the team who very much enjoy a social media post (I shan’t name names)

I use a platform called pixieset to share the images and it allows me to see who downloads what image. Always the same ones but I’ll tell you what - knowing how weird teenagers can be with their “image” when I see they’ve downloaded them and Jude tells me they’ve posted them….. it makes me prouder than I care to admit 😂

I just wanted to publicly acknowledge my son Jude. He’s only been playing football for the last 3 years so I never expected to be stood sidelines or stood loving it but I am.

No one online knows what a difficult time we had in our early years and boy oh boy it was a testing time so when I hear the other parents shout “come on Jude Allan” I genuinely tear up every single time.

Jude Allan I absolutely adore you but pick up your fucking socks once in a while eh
