Matt Eastley

Retro-football specialist and incorrigible nostalgist Matt Eastley has written fifteen books (including ghostwritten titles). A former Editor-in-Chief (Internal News) at the BBC, he has appeared on The One Show, The Danny Baker Show, BBC Five Live as well as countless radio shows and newspapers including The Times, The Guardian and The Sun. An expert on pop culture of the 1960s and 1970s, including pop music, films and TV, he is on a lifelong (and ultimately fruitless mission) to find that elusive sweet spot of the collective childhoods of those born between 1950 and 1990. As well as being a communications consultant and executive coach, he does football commentary for BBC Radio Kent every Saturday and plenty of freezing cold Tuesday nights.
