Andy Rivers has been a Butlins barman, pretend chippie on a Spanish construction site, coach holiday rep, mobile sandwich salesman and outdoor traffic cone washer to name but a few of his eclectic 'career' choices. Originally from the East End of Newcastle he now lives in Oxfordshire where, as well as following Newcastle United around the country, he passes the time by indulging in his passion for `Professional Geordie-ism' and lager. 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' was his first novel but he is also the author of `I'm Rivelino' , also published by Byker Books, a hilarious account of the thirty odd years of hurt he has suffered at the hands of the Magpies. With the royalties he makes he plans on buying a Ferrari and having a proper mid-life crisis.
