Andrew Godsell

Andrew Godsell

Andrew Godsell is a British writer, born in 1964 at Aldershot, in Hampshire.

Writing

He has published four books.

“A History of the Conservative Party” (1989) was the first critical history of the British Conservatives ever published.

“The World Cup” (1990) provides a history of the world’s leading football competition.

“My Life” (1991) is an autobiography of a young author enjoying his first fifteen minutes of fame.

“Europe United: A History of the European Cup / Champions League” (2005) covers the relevant football competition.

Godsell’s writings on football, politics, history, genealogy, and rock music have also appeared in magazines and newspapers, plus an educational text book, and several websites. A theory on the historical events behind the legends of King Arthur has prompted international discussion. Moving from fact to fiction, a contribution to textual accuracy has led to an acknowledgment of Mr A Godsell in the Penguin Classics edition of Dracula by Bram Stoker.

Biographical detail

Godsell has combined writing with a career in finance. Political activism has included candicacies in a series of local elections. Godsell acted as publicity co-ordinator of Brooce Fans for Fair Ticketing, a campaign against ticket touting which attracted media attention, and is mentioned in the book “Twenty Nights to Rock: Touring with the Boss” by Bill Tangen, an American sports writer, and fellow Bruce Springsteen fan. Godsell’s supposed failings in the departments of cooking and housework have been discussed with great amusement on ITV’s “This Morning” programme, and he was interviewed by Rob Bonnet of the BBC at the 1990 World Cup finals.
