Danny Green
Two boxers hit one small town. One of those occasions where the story and the characters were very strong, and I tried hard to live up to it.
The National Festival of Beers
Where I turned the instruction “go and do a beer festival” into an alcoholic quest that stands up surprisingly well, unlike the author.
Weekend Away
A short piece for a women’s magazine about a weekend, you know, away.
Nudist Resort
A weekend where I laughed practically non-stop. I hope at least 1/50th of that transfers into the piece.
100 Greatest Sports Stars Ever
A ridiculous concept, but great fun to compile and write.
Cape Town
Published in the supplement of a national newspaper, it showed I could write more serious pieces without sounding too pompous.
I hope.
Vic Darchinyan
A standard one-to-one sports interview, which I worked at to make as interesting as possible.
Fishing in the Northern Territory
A piece about fishing, in which I don’t catch any fish. Turned out all right.
Azumah Nelson
A short, inconsequential little piece about an old boxer, but it just seems to work nicely.
