"This is the autobiography of the world’s most well-known fan club president, Todd Slaughter, not through celebrity but because of his unforgettable name. His encounters with the rich and famous occurred – not that anyone wanted to meet him, but everyone wanted to talk about Elvis.

Thank you to Peter Phillips for asking me to write this book and taking me to Porthcawl to meet the people involved.
