Paul Honeyford


Paul Honeyford is an English biographer and writer who has worked on a number of music- and sport- related materials. He has often worked with Dave Heaven, a musician, on a variety of musical and design projects.
Honeyford's biography of Paul Weller's band The Jam was the first such biography, written in consultation with the band at a time when they were at the peak of their success. Other works include Michael Jackson: The Golden Touch and Harrison Ford: A Biography.
Honeyford also contributed to a number of English magazines, including Vox and Revolver, and acted as consulting editor for a number of cult comics and magazines produced by Quality Communications.
For a time he worked with Martin Buchan — a former Manchester United footballer — on a history of Manchester United, but this was never completed.
An alumnus of Urmston Grammar School, he is the son of Ray Honeyford, who became well-known in the 1980s over what became known as the Honeyford Affair.
