Who is John King?
John King is an English novelist who has written a number of books which, for the most part, deal in the more rebellious elements driving England’s culture. His stories carry strong social and political undercurrents, and his debut The Football Factory, published in 1997, was an instant word-of-mouth success. It has sold more than 250,000 copies in the UK to date.
The Football Factory was subsequently turned into a play by Brighton Theatre Events, with German and Dutch adaptations following. A high-profile Football Factory film appeared in 2004. Directed by Nick Love and starring Danny Dyer, its DVD sales exceed 1.5million.
Two more novels – Headhunters and England Away – develop the themes of alienation and belonging to be found in The Football Factory.
