About the Author
John Cotterell was born on April 26, 1932, in Birmingham, England. He was married to Naureen and had two sons, David and Robert. After Naureen’s life was cut short at age 42 after a battle with breast cancer, John went on to bring his two sons up alone at the ages of 11 and 6. He worked hard throughout his professional life and had lifelong friends whom he would socialize with on a regular basis until his death. He was ever a keen sportsman who enthused over football and cricket and grew up supporting Birmingham City Football Club and Warwickshire Cricket Club. But it was his love of the theatre and classical music which was to become a passion for him. He reminisced up until the time of his death about the shows he had seen, which often included talented actors and singers who were relatively unknown and who went on to become some of Britain’s biggest names in show business. He had for years treasured waiting patiently by the stage doors to meet these artists and to get their autographs. He collected some amazing autographs and signed photos to treasure.
