Born in Birmingham, writer and broadcaster Simon Inglis penned his first comments on stadiums at the age of six. Among various football and stadium-related works he is best known for the acclaimed Football Grounds of Europe (1990) and the bestselling Football Grounds of Britain (1996). When not watching Aston Villa, he lives with his wife and two cats in London, coincidentally - he insists - halfway between Wembley Stadium and Lord's cricket ground.

"Another classic. A glorious stadium odyssey" -- Frank Keating Guardian "Inglis is the spiritual leader for us poor souls who suffer a sinful quickening of the pulse when we see floodlights looming...in a curious love-song to the modern sporting arena...his journey is one that demands company" Irish Times "A terrific book, full of unexpected wisdom, unforced humour and unfeigned amazement. It will remind you of why you love sport and why you love live sport" Four Four Two
