Acknowledgements
Academic writing, like filmmaking and football, is in essence a team activity, even if it may foreground individuals. Hence my thanks to the editorial team at Palgrave Macmillan for their support throughout the writing of this book, in particular Lina Aboujieb and Ellie Freedman for their wise counsel. My thanks also to the CATH team at De Montfort University for their encouragement and advice on this project, notably my good friend Steve Chibnall. My especial thanks, as ever, to the Glynn ‘team’, to Sarah for humouring my football/film obsessions to the extent of accompanying me to the BFI Library in London, and to Roz whom my bad parenting has made into a fellow-suffering ‘Bluenose’, but unbeatable company for those 5-0 home defeats to Barnsley.

This book gratefully acknowledges the Cardiology team and the Respiratory and Gastroenterology team at the City Hospital, Birmingham who in the past year showed such skill, care and compassion, both for my own health issues and, before that, fo
