Life and career
Allison grew up in Colne, Lancashire, and was educated at Royal Grammar School, Lancaster, and at University and Nuffield Colleges, Oxford. He was a research scholar at Stanford University before taking up a position at the University of Warwick, where he taught from 1969 to 2004.[2] Retired from full-time teaching, he is now Emeritus Reader in Politics at the University of Warwick and Visiting Professor in the politics of sport at the University of Brighton.[3]
Commenting in 2023 on new rules which aim to restrict relationships between university staff and students, Allison said that as a young lecturer he "played sport with students, got drunk with students and made love with students. All of this seemed entirely normal on the campus of a new university in the late 1960s and early 1970s."[4]
He is most noted for his work on the politics of sport, for which he was awarded a D.Litt in 2003,[5] but he has also produced books on a number of other topics and been a prolific writer for magazines and newspapers since the 1970s.
He married Ann McDonnell in 1975; they have three sons.
