A British fan who became active in fandom while at Leeds University in the late 70s and was active through the late 90s, gafiated, and then again because active around 2012.

He published Another Bloody Fanzine, Black Hole (a Leeds clubzine), Gross Encounters, Sitius (with Mike Dickinson) and some issues of Matrix and Vector.
He was the target of a hoax with the first issue of Another Bloody Fanzine. He and Joseph Nicholas had been telling everyone about the reviewzine they planned to publish. David Langford and Kevin Smith published a hoax issue first so that they own first issue was a bit of an anticlimax.
