Dave Courtney - the original behind Vinnie Jones's character in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - tells all in his no-holds-barred bestselling autobiography.
From the streets of southeast London to bare-knuckle fights; from the funeral of Ronnie Kray to drug-deals turned sour in Holland - Dave Courtney's story is like no one else's.
Very easy read and very funny at times. Truth?? Well you make your own mind up! I heard people say it's lies etc but to me.. It doesn't matter. I've met Dave and listened to him I have no reason to disbelieve any of the stories in this book about a very Naughty boy! I really enjoyed this book.

con alcune chicche impagabili, come quella in cui racconta di aver preso a pugni i membri della band Sigue Sigue Sputnik... ve li ricordate? Cazzo, ha fatto bene!
Take your brain out stuff.
Entertaining enough in the way that you end the book knowing just who and what Mr Courtney is. Although I believe the image your left with is not the one he intended you to have.
This was a book I could not put down. It is a very entertaining account of our local Gangster and how he grew up, became a hoodlum and all the scrapes along the way.
