Derek Niven

    Derek Niven is het non-fictie pseudoniem van John McGee voor sport- en familiegeschiedenissen. Zijn werken duiken in de familieverhalen en achtergronden van voetballegendes, en verkennen de onvertelde verhalen van de personen die iconische sportmomenten vormden. Niven onderzoekt de achtergronden van degenen die verbonden zijn aan gevierde teams en invloedrijke coaches, en brengt hun vaak over het hoofd geziene verhalen naar boven. Zijn schrijfstijl neemt de lezers mee op een reis door sport- en familiegeschiedenis, en onthult hoe gewone mensen buitengewoon succes behaalden.
