Before taking up writing for TV, he was a sports journalist for The Guardian and The Observer, writing The Football Man: People and Passions in Soccer. He also had four other books published, including an autobiographical account of his childhood, and wrote the screenplay for the film Hostage. Hopcraft won the BAFTA writer's award in 1985. CareerHopcraft was born in Shoeburyness, Essex. He soon moved to Cannock, Staffordshire, and as a teen, he started working at local newspapers. By the age of 17, he was reporting on the Stafford Rangers' semi-professional football games using the pseudonym "Linesman." After his service in the military, he worked at the Daily Mirror in Manchester and then The Guardian. He had assignments in west Africa, India and Brazil. In the mid-1960s, he began doing football writing at The Observer as well. From January 1968 he was a regular contributor to the trendy IPC monthly Nova, his articles mostly stories from his own life. He was a "self-described loner whose claustrophobia extended to refusing to use the London Underground."[1] He never married, noting that "I tried both sexes, but ended up wishing they would all just go away".[1] References1. ^1 [https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/nov/26/football.guardianobituaries Obituary: Arthur Hopcraft | Media | The Guardian] External links
