We first interviewed Dickie Pelham back in June 2018 while he was at the FIFA World Cup in Russia. Since then Dickie has covered more of the World's best sporting events and even found time to go through his archives to create his first book, "A Life behind the Lens: Thirty Years of Award Winning Photography of Sports Most Iconic Moments" with Pitch Publishing, over 250 pages of iconic sports photography. It's always a pleasure to chat to Dickie, brilliant stories, great guy!

About Dickie
Originally planned for publication on 12 August, Richard 'Dickie' Pelham's A Life behind the Lens: Thirty Years of Award Winning Photography of Sports Most Iconic Moments was delayed by one week so as to enable the inclusion of images of England’s first-ever Cricket World Cup win in July.
The collection includes the very best work of Pelham, the multi award-winning chief sports photographer of The Sun for the past 30 years. He has covered six Olympic Games, seven 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.
Richard Pelham is the multi-award-winning chief sports photographer of The Sun. A Life Behind The Lens is his own story and his own selection of his best photographs.
