From Gazza and Euro '96 to Anthony Joshua and Liverpool winning the Champions League, Richard Pelham has photographed the biggest sporting stories of the last 30 years as Chief Sports Photographer of the Sun. This collection, accompanied by concise text, selects over 300 of his best images, capturing the triumphant and tragic moments of stars including David Beckham, Paula Radcliffe, Andy Murray and Usain Bolt.
A Life Behind the Lens is a collection of the very best work of Richard `Dickie' Pelham, the multi award-winning chief sports photographer of The Sun for the past 30 years. He has covered six Olympic Games, six World Cups, any number of Test matches and many championship boxing bouts, capturing the moments of triumph and despair, the great goals, the knockout punches, the key wickets and the gold-medal glory. He has been trackside, ringside, pitchside and poolside as well as in the studio and on the training grounds with the biggest names in world sport, including Usain Bolt, Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Andy Murray, Paul Gascoigne, David Beckham, Tom Daley, Lennox Lewis and Anthony Joshua. His pictures have featured on memorable front and back pages and centre spreads. The images are accompanied by Dickie's own recounting of the human stories behind the pictures and the technical secrets of a master of his trade.
