About the author
Born in July 1931, Stan's deep interest in the Olympics was initially kindled when he watched the Olympic Games athletics in London in 1948.

He is also a founder member of the International Society of Olympic Historians (ISOH).
He has written a series books on the Olympic Games and the latest edition was published by A and C Black as Whitaker's Olympic Almanack 2004. His most recent publication is Stan's Little Blue Book, a compilation of odd facts and stories about athletics.
