Lynton Guest entered the music business in 1967 aged sixteen. As a member of the group, 'Love Affair', he had a number one hit in fourteen countries with one of the most iconic pop records of the sixties, 'Everlasting Love'. Thereafter, he was a songwriter and producer, had a legendary manager, Robert Stigwood, ran an independent record label and released the theme to the hit television series Tinker Tailor, Soldier Spy (starring Alec Guiness) which won an Ivor Novello award. In the 1980s Lynton went to Kings College, London, where he graduated with honours in Ancient and Medieval History. His dissertation was on the trading patterns and archaeology of the Indus Valley civilisation (c3000BC-1200BC). While studying at Kings, Lynton began writing prolifically for newspapers and magazines and had his first book (on the business of football) published in 1990. Three more books on football followed, all of which were sports best-sellers. During this time he also contributed regularly to the London Sunday Telegraph, was a consultant to several sports organisations (including the Football Association and the Football League), and began analysing financial matters for merchant bankers eager to participate in football's revolution of the 1990s. In 2005, Lynton released a CD of remixes of some of his favourite records from the sixties, including 'Everlasting Love'. The CD, called 'OnceAndFuture' by Science of Sound won the prize for Best Compilation CD of 2005 at the Los Angeles Music Awards. He is an Associate of Kings College.
