[biopic updated 2000
]
Kevin died on 9 November 2002 after a short illness.
Written in about 2000:
[For the record, after St Augustines it was
two years at Stockport College (first day was an eye opener - a
nude female model in the art class, which beat the shit out of
pots and plants at Sharston Mount. But St Augustine's had made me
a bit bashful about these things and, when the teacher told us to
draw apart of the body which interested us, I drew the foot.
Still have the picture).That was for A levels.Then three years at
Lancaster University (crap 2:2 history degree but two times univ
champion in bar football and once in pool, which says it all
really) Six years on Macclesfield Express, covering mighty
Macclesfield Town (our maths teacher Mr Booth used to play for
them many years earlier) in the Northern Premier League. Two
years on two newspapers in Sheffield, covering six soccer clubs
and other sport. Six months in Bristol on sports desk. One year
on Yorkshire Post covering any one of 12 soccer clubs. Summer
1988: Hong Kong, to join sports desk of South China Morning Post
for five years. Then three years on a short-lived newspaper
called Eastern Express, as the main sports writer. And, three
years ago, after the paper closed down, joined Cathay Pacific in
the communications department, mainly doing a magazine for the
pilots.
What else...well, still single, but have
been with girlfriend Roxan for six years and living together for
four.
Still playing football twice a week (two teams) but haven't
scored a goal for four seasons!]
