Superman Brown lines-up his Next Career

Former Hereford United goalkeeper Wayne Brown is currently learning how to become a sports photographer.

Brown, now with Bury, has already been helping his club's regular photographer.

"I was giving the lads plenty of stick from the touchline in a Reserves' match against Man U. They didn't know it was me because I was behind the camera," said Brown in an interview on the Bury Official Website.

"They wondered who this bloke was shouting abuse at them and got a shock when they found out !

"It's a bit different, and I don't know of another player who has gone on to become a photographer.

"But it's something I've always been interested in and hopefully my experience in the game means I will be able to anticipate what's going to happen a split second beforehand.

"And being a keeper I've always thought there aren't enough photos of goalies so I hope to be able to change that!

"I'm doing a City & Guilds course, but it will be a few years before I stop playing.

"I've spent my career standing in the rain watching the action so being a photographer won't be much of a change!"
