He acted for the great Geordie trinity of Chris Waddle, Alan Shearer and Paul Gascoigne. He is the author of 16 books including biographies of Waddle, Gascoigne, a fiction trilogy ( Marked Man, White lines, Red Card) set in the world of football and the Pocket Essential- How to Succeed as a Sports Agent. He is a regular broadcaster on Talk Sport, Radio 4, Radio 5 and the TV networks.
