Being so close to the action also posed other occupational hazards.<\/p>\n
“Trabzonspor versus Aston Villa, I was suddenly knocked out because of the supporters throwing rocks,” said Haroun.<\/p>\n
Rocks were not the only danger, it was footballing legends taking shots on goal, too.<\/p>\n
“Wayne Rooney, [while] practising, knocked me out one day,” she added.<\/p>\n
“Denis Irwin, he shot at goal, but he knocked me out and I think it was Bryan Robson who turned round and said: ‘If you’re going to kill a photographer, Denis, make sure it’s not the chairman’s cousin!’<\/p>\n
Sometimes, though, the players were helpful when trying to get the perfect shot.<\/p>\n
Before one European match involving Arsenal, Haroun had a word with Gunners legend Ian Wright and told him to celebrate in front of her if he scored. <\/p>\n
Wright did score, but started running in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n
To Haroun’s relief, the striker realised his mistake.<\/p>\n
“You could see him going the other way, then stopping and looking round and then coming back, [shouting] ‘yeah!’ with his arms outstretched, so much so that so I had to have a wide-angle lens on,” she said. “Perfect picture!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
