Acknowledgements and Further Reading

For Forest’s results: ‘Forest – The First 125 Years’ compiled by Ken Smales, plus my proggies and the 77/78 Rothmans.

For the 1962 World Cup: Brian Glanville’s History of the World Cup.

For the music, the Guinness Book of Rock Stars, the Penguin Encyclopedia of Popular Music, and the odd NME cutting.

The information on Chile is from ‘The Murder of Allende’ by Rojas Sandford.  The bit about Victor Jara is lifted from John Train’s monologue as recorded in ‘Phil Ochs – Death of a Rebel’ by Marc Eliot.  He even made the same mistake I did about the football stadium.  For more on Jara, read Victor: An unfinished song by Joan Jara.  And you should read Politics in Chile by Lois Oppenheim if you want to know what happened next.

I got some of my inspiration for Mary from Nye Bevan (as well as from Mary herself).  Read both volumes of Michael Foot’s inspiring Autobiography.

The debt we all owe Billy Bragg is immeasurable.  If you’ve got this far, you’ll most likely know his work.  If not, Mary is on Workers Playtime and This Saturday Boy is on Brewing Up.

This is for George Orwell, Ian Moore, and (of course) Susans everywhere.

[And special thanks to East Barnet Library in Brookhill Road, East Barnet for supplying most of the above and many, many more.]
