Edward Hunter Davies OBE (born 7 January 1936) is a British journalist and author. He has written over a hundred books, of which the best-known is the only authorised biography of The Beatles (first published in 1968 with five later revised editions, the most recent in 2009) note . He's also written children's novels and books about education, the Lake District and football; the latter includes The Glory Game (a classic of football literature resulting from unrivalled access to the inner sanctums of Spurs for a season in the early 1970s), the ghostwritten autobiographies of several top players and The Fan (a compilation of his football columns in the New Statesman, not usually considered to be the sort of magazine that would have a football columnist). His wife, the author Margaret Foster, wrote the novel Georgy Girl which was made into a movie in 1966.
