Perhaps best known for penning the multi-award winning feature Green Street, former serviceman Dougie Brimson has forged a reputation as one of the UK’s most diverse writers. Having enjoyed publishing success with both non-fiction and fiction as well as on the big screen, his writing career began in 1996 when after 18 years service with the RAF which included the Falklands War and Gulf War One, he co-authored the best-selling non-fiction work, Everywhere We Go. A book that remains essential reading for anyone with an interest in the culture of English football. A further 14 books have followed including the best-selling thriller, The Crew - which has topped the Amazon sports book download charts for over eight years following its publication in eBook format- and the critically acclaimed football comedies, Billy’s Log and Wings of a Sparrow. To date, Dougie has sold over 1,500,000 titles worldwide including Russia where he is regarded as one of the most famous British authors. His 16th book, the third volume in the The Crew/Top Dog trilogy, was published in May 2020 with a further thriller, Three Greens, slated for publication in autumn 2021. In 2003 Dougie made the move into screenwriting first with the short movie It’s a Casual Life and then with his first full length feature, the Hollywood funded Green Street starring Elijah Wood.
