Jack, was born on the day of the very first Wembley Cup Final at the exact moment Bolton Wanderers’s first goal hit the West Ham net at quarter to four, on the Spring afternoon of the 28th of April 1923. In the final hour of Jack’s life the boundaries between fantasy and reality blur. He offers up the small downfall of my life; recounts the loss of his father and young French wife in World War Two. He loves buses, the sea, carpentry, hoarding and telling small lies.
