I remember my England debut, in 2002. It came in Jersey, in a triangular tournament with New Zealand and India. To say that it did not generate great local interest is putting it mildly: our first game, against India, attracted a handful of spectators.
Football’s become a non-contact sport, and that’s spoiled a lot of the fun for a lot of the people, including spectators.
Twenty20 is cricket on speed. In an era of hectic lifestyles and falling attention spans, it gives spectators more drama and intensity in three hours that they would get from a whole-day match. And even though it is a heady cocktail of money, entertainment and media, at its core it is cricket.
To concentrate intensely for 4 and a half hours, that’s too hard for me. Too tiring. I concentrate ‘lo maximo’ on the ‘golpe,’ the stroke, but between strokes I’m interacting with the crowd or laughing with my caddie, talking about the spectators, the cute girls.
In 1972, there was still a New York City law prohibiting women there from ‘furnishing refreshments to the audience or spectators at any place of public amusement.’ That’s right: Until the law was repealed in 1977, it was technically illegal for women to work as popcorn vendors in Madison Square Garden.

In the West, people tend to look at life as spectators, but in the East, people are the thing.

It was an ideal day for football – too cold for the spectators and too cold for the players.
Before I worked on film, I studied the theatre, and I expected that I would spend my whole career in theatre. Gradually, I started writing for the cinema.

It is our lack of will that lies behind the continued denial of justice to Jean McConville. Yet there is something that we can do now for her and for ourselves before our silence turns us from spectators into passive accomplices. We can remember her.
