His mother, Kathleen, was a former nun turned gun-running renegade.
On leaving school at 15 years of age, Michael spent 12 weeks at the Merchant Navy School for Sailors in Sharpness, Gloucestershire. During his years at sea, he was to visit and work in over 60 countries.

These days few boys have meaningful relationships with male mentors and father figures, men who can teach and inspire growing boys. Many boys grow up without having been taught by a male teacher or are taught by teachers who have no life or work experience outside of a classroom. In Britain, 85 per cent of school teachers are women. The boys in many a modern British home may have several ‘fathers’ over time. How times have changed.
