David Bauckham set up Centre Circle Publishing in 2007 as a vehicle for getting his own work, and the work of others into print. Originally from South East London, his first experience of non-League football was watching Dulwich Hamlet FC in the early 1970s, and their vast, crumbling Champion Hill Stadium of that time made a lasting impression.

On moving to East Sussex in 1987, he began to take a keen interest in the Sussex non-League scene and Langney Sports FC (now Eastbourne Borough FC) in particular, which led to him setting up the Club's first website in 2000. Although no longer the 'webmaster' he is still active at the Club as matchday announcer and also broadcasts on local radio. He has also co-authored two books celebrating promotion seasons with Club programme editor Mike Spooner.

Around the same time he started taking photographs of non-League grounds in Sussex and launched Nomad-Online, an online Directory of Sussex football. What began on a whim has since developed to the extent that writing, photography and now publishing takes up a significant amount of time, on top of his 'proper' job as a University Lecturer.

'The Non League Football Grounds of Sussex' was published in 2003, and was followed in 2006 by the critically acclaimed 'Dugouts' which sold in excess of 9,000 copies. In June 2008 'A Season Of Sussex Soccer' (co-authored with Terry Buckman) was published by Centre Circle Publishing.

David is a regular contributor to 'Groundtastic' magazine and has written features on the grounds of Broxbourne Borough V&E, Burnham, Lewes, Eastbourne Borough, Eastbourne United Association, Eastbourne Town, and St. Mirren.

His photographs have also been featured in 'Four Four Two', '11 Freunde' (Germany), 'Stopper' (Sweden), 'Non League Today', 'The Mail On Sunday', and 'Time Out' in addition to numerous matchday programmes and club websites.

In November 2008 his work formed part of the 'Fans, Stands and Homosexuality' exhibition at Chelsea School (University of Brighton), where he is currently studying for a Masters degree in Sport, Culture and Society.

Apart from the obvious 'hobbies' he has numerous interests that fall under the pompous umbrella of 'The Arts'. In particular he is a great fan and collector of a wide range of music, but especially jazz.  David lives with his wife and teenage son in Eastbourne.
