Clive L GilsonI was born in 1962 into a predominantly sporting household - Dad being a good senior amateur and lower league professional footballer, as well as running his own businesses in partnership with mum, herself an accomplished and medal winning dancer.I otained a degree in History from Leeds University before wandering rather haphazardly into the emerging world of information technology in the late nineteen-eighties.A little like my sporting father, I followed a succession of amateur writing paths alongside my career in technology, including working as a freelance journalist and book reviewer, my one claim to fame being a by-line in a national newspaper, The Sunday People.I also spent 10 years treading the boards, appearing all over the south of the UK in pantos and plays, in village halls and occasionally on the stage of a professional theatre or two.Following the sporting theme, and a while after I hung up my own boots, I worked on live TV broadcasts for the BBC, ITV, TVNZ, and EuroSport as a rugby 'stato', covering Heineken Cups, Six Nations, World Sevens and World Cups in the late '90's.
