Pete Davies
Pete Davies is the book author of American Road: The Story of an Epic Transcontinental Journey at the Dawn of the Motor Age about the 1919 Motor Transport Corps convoy, for which Davies visited sites along the Lincoln Highway.[1][2] Davies' newspaper clippings are part of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum,[3] and he was interviewed about the book in 2002 on Booknotes.[4]
Davies' All Played Out, an eye-witness account of the England men's football team at the 1990 World Cup,[5][6][7][8] was adapted[9] into a documentary film in 2010. The original book has been described as "the best football book ever written".[10]
In 1994–95, Davies turned his attentions to women's football and spent the season with Doncaster Belles while writing I Lost my Heart to the Belles.
Davies settled in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, where in 2010 he worked at the local Sainsbury's supermarket and had a season ticket for Huddersfield Town.[11]
