Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. GRAFTERS The Inside Story of the Wide Awake Firm Europe's Most prolific Sneak Thieves. Colin Blaney. Milo Books, Preston. 2004 First edition ISBN 9781903854280 308pp Paperback. This copy is in fine, unread condition, bright, white, tight and square, in illustrated card covers as issued. Colin Blaney, also known as "king of the Jack and Jills" due to his skill at opening tills, has spent years writing Grafters, a book about organised crime and gangs based in Manchester. He has been in and out of jail in countries around Europe, travelling with his "gang", selling illegal merchandise to fans outside concert and football matches. The idea for the book came when Colin was in a German jail, and when he was released he set to work. Colin Blaney's Grafters is a ground-breaking exposé of the links between criminal gangs and football hooliganism. In the intervening period the book and the phrase have become part of the lexicon, defining a generation of professional thieves who used the cover of their fellow football fans to earn a fortune. As a youth he joined the bootboys of Manchester United's Red Army, rampaging across the country. As an adult he learned to dip with the Scouse pickpocket gangs, sell dope to Rastas in the Moss Side shebeens and sneak-thieve from shop tills with his mad Collyhurst crew. But Continental Europe offered the greatest lure. The gang moved to Amsterdam which became their HQ for the next twenty years. They stole Rolex watches in Switzerland, peddled Ecstasy in Spain, kited credit cards in Belgium, flogged bootleg tee-shirts in France and snatched designer clothes in Holland. Blaney and his Wide Awake Frim served time in half the jails in Europe and then went back for more. They were on a riotous, non stop roller-coaster ride until they finally hit the buffers. Ref PP4.
