Author Information

John Gwynne has one of the most distinctive voices in broadcasting, delighting sports fans from the oche, the boundary's edge and the touchline on radio and television for nearly forty years. 'Soccer Satisfied' charts a lifetime's passion for football which originated in the Shropshire countryside in the 1950's. It features John's undying love for Manchester City, his years of broadcasting on local radio and for Sky Sports and memorable evenings on the dinner circuit. John has met many of the great characters of the game and befriended such as Bert Trautmann, Denis Law, Jimmy Armfield and Gordon Banks. He recalls memorable encounters with legends such as Sir Matt Busby, Bobby Moore and Sir Alex Ferguson and provides a host of humorous anecdotes in his own inimitable style. He also writes movingly of the pain felt on hearing of the tragedy at Munich and the death of his beloved and ever-supportive wife, Margaret. 'Soccer Satisfied' is a warm, nostalgic journey connecting two quite contrasting eras. The game might have changed markedly but John's enthusiasm for it has remained undimmed.
