Euros 2021: Kalvin Phillips – You’re not having that!
Euros 2020 – Phillips – You’re not having that!
Looking back over work made during the summer – This was a picture that was a joy to do and a joy to watch – Kalvin Phillips is a passionate player, so determined to keep the ball no matter what the pressure.
I made this one from the match against Croatia, where he ‘announced’ his presence right from the start. The Croatian player was definitely not having the ball – it was Kalvin’s!
I love his style!

I’m a contemporary artist working in Leicestershire in the UK. I trained in Fine Art using different media including oils and acrylics, but my recent work is a return to my love of drawn media, especially pen, ink, watercolour and pastels. My theme is movement – My subjects are varied from landscape, animals, musicians, dancers and sport, especially cycling. The unifying feature of all these subjects is that they are constantly changing – even in a landscape there is movement everywhere! I capture the energy of elusive moments often starting with a quick pen and ink drawing. I write and publish my artworks on a blog called ‘Racing Lines’.
Yes, I was a big fan of that Leeds team. Hunter, Jacki Charlton and Billy Bremner were notorious, but Johnny Giles was just as competitive. My favourite phrase regarding Norman ‘ bites yer legs’ Hunter, taken from a newspaper report, was that “He couldn’t tell flesh from leather!” Brilliant!
