Indeed, he’s so engaging that it’s hard not to want to conduct one’s own tour to catch some of these games before it’s too late' Harry Pearson was born in 1961 in a village near Middlesbrough. He was educated by kindly Quakers. An early attempt to become a journalist foundered because his spelling wasn’t good enough. After many years working in jobs that required overalls or paper hats, his life was altered for ever by reading an article about Alan Foggan in the football magazine When Saturday Comes.
