About the Author:
Michael Calvin, one of the UK’s most accomplished sportswriters, has worked in more than eighty countries, covering every major sporting event, including seven summer Olympic Games and six World Cup finals.

He is a bestselling author, whose book The Nowhere Men won the Times Sports Book of the Year prize in 2014.
