Introduction
Pete Davies is the book author of American Road: The Story of an Epic Transcontinental Journey at the Dawn of the Motor Age about the 1919 Motor Transport Corps convoy, for which Davies visited sites along the Lincoln Highway. Davies' newspaper clippings are part of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, and he was interviewed about the book in 2002 on Booknotes.
Davies' All Played Out, an eye-witness account of the England men's football team at the 1990 World Cup, was adapted into a documentary film in 2010. The original book has been described as "the best football book ever written".
In 1994–95, Davies turned his attentions to women's football and spent the season with Doncaster Belles while writing I Lost my Heart to the Belles.
Davies settled in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, where in 2010 he worked at the local Sainsbury's supermarket and had a season ticket for Huddersfield Town.
