Martin Knight is a British author born in Epsom in Surrey in 1957 mainly associated with working class culture and football literature. In 1999 Hoolifan and The Naughty Nineties were released both books dealing with the subject, culture and history of football hooliganism. Knight was coauthor with Martin King whose hooligan memoirs form the core of the books. Irvine Welsh provided the introduction to the latter book. As partners, Knight and King produced On the Cobbles the story of Jimmy Stockin a renowned gypsy prize fighter, Ossie King of The Bridge the autobiography of Chelsea footballing legend Peter Osgood and Grass covering the exploits of major drug smuggler and Howard Marks cohort Phil Sparrowhawk.
