Paul Nicholls, alias PJ Lennon, was born in Debden, in SW Essex, England. One of six children, his early memories are of playing cricket in the garden with his brothers and being taught how to bowl the googly by his cricket-loving father. He saw his first football match, aged eight, in 1960 and has been a West Ham fan ever since.
By his twenties, he'd visited most of the countries of the world serving aboard merchant navy ships. The desire to write books was always there from an early age, but it wasn't until he moved to the beautiful town of Wiveliscombe, Somerset, where he met his partner, the love of his life, that this yearning was realised.
That early love of cricket blossomed. He now reports on the game, both county and international cricket, for two local radio stations. He has written the biography of Andy Hurry, the DOC at Somerset CC.
