A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Daniel Ivery was born in Marston Green, Birmingham in 1978 and grew up in Chelmsley Wood. Introduced to Blues at an early age (much to the consternation of his grandfather who supported rivals Aston Villa), Daniel has been a season ticket holder for the majority of the last fifteen years. He has run the Often Partisan website since its founding in April 2012 and has written extensively for his website, the Birmingham Mail and various internet outlets about Birmingham City, Carson Yeung and in particular Carson's money laundering trial. Will was born in Elburton near Plymouth in 1962 but grew up in Essex where he attended Bancroft's School, Woodford Green. He studied law at Sheffield University and became a solicitor in 1987, working in the City with Berwin Leighton. In 1990 he moved to Hong Kong where he continues to live with his wife Julie and children Oli, Harriet, Guy and Alice. He works with his good friends Andrew Hart and Peter Mills in their law firm Hart Giles. A life-long Spurs fan his only recollection of seeing Birmingham City play was with his schoolmates Dave Johnstone and Pissy Pembery in the 5th Round of the FA Cup in 1980 when his favourite player Glenn Hoddle scored twice in a 3-1 victory at the Lane before a crowd of 49,936. He looks forward to seeing a Blues v Spurs game at St Andrews in the Premier League with his good friend Daniel Ivery in the near future.
