Tim Glynne-Jones is a journalist living and working in the UK. In his career, he has covered a range of subjects, including music, motoring, sport, and food, and he has written three books on football. From pop charts to menu items, numbers have played a key part in all his writing, although he admits he didn't realize just how key until he came to write this book. He has one wife, two children, three points on his driving licence, and he has lived at numbers 2, 4, 14, 33, and 111. Make of that what you will.
