About the Author

As well as moonlighting as a successful children's poet and anthologist, Graham Denton is an author whose writing on football has appeared in various publications from his primary school's annual booklet to The Guardian. He first saw Aston Villa play in April 1973, in the old Football League Division Two. Less than a decade later they were champions of Europe. The story of what happened in between he has waited over 35 years to tell.
