To begin at the beginning: I was born in Scotland, but moved to England when I was just four. A five year stay in Manchester began my life long interest in Manchester United. I was educated at the Royal Grammar School, Lancaster where I was a boarder for seven years. I read history at Keble College, Oxford, where I gained a first class honours degree and then completed a research degree in early modern English history.
