ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

There are many people without whom this book would not have been possible. Foremost, I would like to thank Richard Milner, my editor, for having faith in it over a long period of time, and for his enduring enthusiasm and wise counsel. Also at Quercus, David North for backing the project, and Josh Ireland for his tireless and expert work on the copy.

I am lucky to have an agent such as Peter Straus at Rogers, Coleridge and White, and to have been previously represented by Hannah Westland, who believed in me, and the book in its various incarnations, when others (including me) did not.

Many have played a significant role in helping me through various aspects of the story: Meirion Jones and Liz MacKean, Mark Williams-Thomas, Liz Dux, Gerard Tubb, Tim Hicks and Nigel Ward at Real Whitby, Ross Howard, Neil Wilby at
upsd.co.uk
and, most significantly, all those who were willing to revisit the past and talk to me about their experiences.

My thanks also go to the very talented editors who commissioned the various long-form magazine features that serve as its foundations: Michael Hodges, David Whitehouse, Jeremy Langmead and Alex Bilmes. Gerard Greaves of the
Mail on Sunday
was also kind enough to give me the time to get it started.

Others to have contributed in a number of small but important ways include John Hopkins, Frank Broughton, Louis Barfe, Sam Parker, Toni Houghton, Richard Benson, Kester Aspden, James Brown and Michael Holden, and, of course, my parents, siblings and in-laws.

A special mention should be made of Andrew O’Hagan, whose brilliant essay, ‘Light Entertainment’, published in the
London
Review of Books
in November 2012, provided renewed impetus and interest in the book, and whose advice and encouragement have been invaluable. The same goes for another author I greatly admire, David Peace, whose interest and generosity provided an unexpected boost when I needed it most.

The subject matter of this book, I feel, makes a dedication inappropriate. There is, however, one person who has shown the patience, the love and the understanding that has enabled me to complete it – my beautiful wife. Thank you sweetest, for all this and more.
