Simon Barnes Is My Sports Literary Hero

Simon barnes, a some will know, is an author of all sorts of different books. And he's also journalist. He started writing for the times, i think, o about 19 82 and wrote right through till two thousand 14. In that time, as many of these journalists do, he covered seven olympic games.
