Summary

Tales from the estates of Middlesbrough over the last 50 years....

These are the memoirs of Paddy Moloney's very colourful life. From a two up two down in Cannon Street to Grovehill and the luxury of an inside lav!

Going from a "quiet lad" at St Joseph's to his first spell in borstal. This is a brutally honest account of Paddy's journey from an Altar boy to a Criminal, spanning four decades including his dealings with some of Middlesbrough's notorious characters to the big guns from further afield.

This book pulls you in from the very first chapter. The good, the bad, the frightening, from elation to grief and every emotion in between.

"Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future."

straightforward presentation

An honest and very detailed account of a story of a life of drug dealing and its effects.
I think his wife should write her account on how she copes through all the ups and downs of her life with Paddy. and becomes a mum and works to support her family

One of our own.

A honest, informative and entertaining insight into Paddy's life and experiences. After reading the book you realise just how well he and his family have done to come through all the trials and tribulations of the past to be the close and lovely family they truly are today.
