Poor book , well researched but thats all it is , research. Not as in-depth as what the other "real" key members of the Essex boys have written. Not the best book on the subject imo. Best taken with a pinch of salt.

After much anticipation and great expectations of a new dimension in portraying football hooliganism, I have to confess I was disappointed. What makes the film is that it is at least based largely on facts. What weakens the film is the diversion from football to the underground world of drugs and gangland warfare. The storyline meanders around the central character as it attempts to cover an unbelievable range of social and pyscyhological issues. Indeed the best scene is about commitment and respect to one partner, and the importance of marriage second time around. On listining to the interview with the main character, his message on the film reinforces the impoortance of loyalty, trust and the value of life long frienship. ... Read More:

I was hoping for a good British gangster movie but this isn't. A lot of people like Sean Bean but I always got the impression it was somebody acting. The driver was well played and, as usual, the film went up a couple of notches when Tom Wilkinson appeared. As well as the acting the poor script let the film down.

Graham Johnson writes this book from the perpective of the man who the book is based on - Stephen French.

The book has so many stories to tell of extrmely dangerous conflict situations between rival gangs, feuds with fellow crew members and the author does not hold back.

'No matter how ridiculous the lie, keep on repeating it with a show of utter conviction and very soon a million idiots will believe you.' - Goebbels The lie in this case being stories that try to impress how cool it is be a gangster. O'Mahoney rails against those that glamourise crime, he points out that 'A life of crime is in reality a life of f**king misery.' Bernard O'Mahoney is no angel, but he's certainly is a good author. His prose is sardonic and to the point, sometimes very funny. The stuff about Dave Courtney had me howling with laughter. That said, it's a pretty sad fact some impressionable youngsters take such fakes seriously and then try to emulate them with such appalling consequences. Be wised up, ... Read More:
