Barry John by Barry John
Considered to be the greatest player of his generation, Barry John courted the pop-star image and had the world at his feet. Then, aged just 27 he quit the game he loved at the height of his dazzling career. Here he talks in detail about why he had to step out of the limelight.Like every boy in the 1950s, Barry John knew the names of Cobb and Campbell and possessed battered Dinky toys of their cars. When he was 15, he discovered Hot Rod magazine and, instantly mesmerised, bought it when pocket money stretched that far. In Hot Rod's pages he discovered the exploits of Breedlove and Arfons -- and has been fascinated ever since. After studying at Harrow School of Art, in London, he pursued a career as a graphic designer. Now retired, he has applied his professional skills to his passion and produced this book. He lives in south-east England.
