‘It ought to be a film, of course, pitched somewhere between The Right Stuff and Chariots of Fire. Meanwhile, Don Hale’s well-ordered, compelling book will do nicely’
Don Hale became nationally famous for his tireless –and ultimately successful- campaign, while editor of the Matlock Mercury newspaper, to clear the name of Stephen Downing, imprisoned for 27 years for the murder of a Derbyshire woman. It won him the OBE and was acknowledged to have righted a major miscarriage of justice. He subsequently told the story of his campaign in his best-selling book Town Without Pity, and has since been involved in several other successful campaigns. Formerly a professional footballer for Bury and Blackburn, and a journalist for the Manchester Evening News, he lives in North Wales. He is also author of Mallard: How the ‘Blue Streak' Broke the World Speed Record, published by Aurum.
