Brilliant

Just finished this book & it was excellent, one of the best Audiobooks I have listened to in a long time, gritty & self-effacing, I liked the fact that not every punch broke a nose or shattered a jaw & Gary didn't try to make himself out to be a hero just a genuine hard Man with a good story to tell...

Amazing book

Amazing insight into Gary's life. From being bullied at school, working the doors, bare-knuckle boxing and taking drugs. Well worth a listen.
