From the Inside Flap
More of a Robin Hood than a robbin' bastard - his own self-portrait - Dave Courtney has been a legend in South London criminal circles since the days of the Krays. Debt collecting, fraud, forgery, handling stolen goods, cheating customs and exise, bank-robbing - he's the man the papers call 'one of the most feared men on the streets of London', and 'one of Britain's most violent, amoral, long-term criminals'.
Now's your chance to meet the man himself. To read his story. To learn what takes a man from a normal family (his father a scout master, his mother a store detective) to being known by his friends - and enemies - as Dodgy Dave; the Yellow Pages of Crime; and Heir to the Krays.
From the backstreets of south-east London, through unlicensed boxing matches in Luton Car Plant and Crystal Palace, and a bouncer's eye view of the bars and clubs of the capital, we'll meet machete-wielding Chinese waiters, gun-toting Dutch drug dealers, and all kinds of acid-house ravers. We'll see Dave bitten, beaten, stabbed and shot; and learn that prison didn't do anything except to make him determined always to be better at not getting caught.
'Dodgy Dave' is no more, as he moves into a career in the media and sports promotion. And in saying goodbye to a life of crime, Dave Courtney tells all in his no-holds-barred, amazing autobiography.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Dave Courtney has been a legend in criminal circles in South London since the days of the Krays. It was Dave Courtney to whom the family turned when Ronnie Kray's funeral was held, to organize the security and keep the peace between London's fighting firms that day. Now Courtney's life as a villain is over, this volume chronicles his shady and immoral past, his time in jail, the violent encounters that put him there, and why he has decided that it's time to get out of the business. Along the way there are machete-wielding Chinese waiters, unlicensed boxing promoters and debt collectors; Dave is bitten, beaten, stabbed and shot; and prison only makes him more determined to get better - better at not getting caught, that is. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001378898
