Clive Gifford is a World Cup winning footballer ... in his dreams! Clive was captain of his school team and can still take a mean, curling free kick, but he is an award-winning author who has written over 100 books, many on football for young people. Clive has watched matches all over the world, from crucial World Cup qualifiers in Chile and Mexico, to a casual kick-about on a seriously sloping pitch on the side of amountain in Nepal. He lives in Manchester with his pet cat, Reg, and supports Queens Park Rangers - well, someone has to!
