I’m delighted to say that my biographical piece on Colin Bell has been published by the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. The ODNB is a significant record of some of the most significant figures in the UK’s history. It’s a major honour to be included in that and it’s always a significant honour to be asked to write a biographical piece for them.
It’s behind a pay wall but if you do already subscribe to the ODNB or have access via a library/university then here’s the link:

Previously I’ve written biographical pieces for the ODNB on Frank Swift, Tommy Docherty and Ray Wilkins.
