Its good that, amazing at how much he was getting away with.
Watch my Back is good in that you know about the places he is on about
Reading a book about this fella : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Warren
Makes it sound so easy to smuggle drugs and make millions!

Its about £7 Rich ,You can download it in PDF form for about £2 IIRC.Does it sell many copies? At $20.00 a pop I'll be giving it a miss unfortunately. Is it on Kindle? Reduce the price a bit and I'd like to give it a read.
Football Manager stole my life - was slightly disappointed with it to be honest. Think it had the potential to be much better, but was still fairly enjoyable
A man who doesn't read lives only one life, a man who reads lives thousands.
Does anyone else buy books at a far quicker rate than they read them? I've essentially got a queue of books to read and yet I keep picking stuff up.
The Jigsaw man ( Paul Britton ) is a good book.
Reading one about Bartley Gorman who was King of the Gypsys now. Only interested me as he spent time in Bedworth, quite good so far but is just about going from pub to pub having fights really.
Gorman mentions Coventry boxer Roger Barlow in his book, saying it was the hardest punch he ever took if I recall rightly. Roger is a mate of my Dads, sadly he's punch drunk these days, but what a boxer back in the day.
I think I remember that bit, although what I dont get about this is them saying how his arms were as big as people's waists but looking at pics he doesnt look very big.
Not saying I would want a bit though...
I really enjoyed that although it is years since I read it.
Picked up Barry McGuigans and Keith Allen's autobiographies and Perry Boys Abroad at the weekend.
All been slung in my case for my Crimbo holiday.
Did you see the program on McGuigan a week or so back? Sports Lives or something like that. It was a great hour of television viewing. I was a fan of him as a youngster and recall his fight with Eusabio Pedrosa at Loftus Road. I didn't realise his brother committed suicide until they asked him his biggest regret, I was getting choked up seeing how much it pained him still after all these years. If you didn't see it I'd definitely recommend it. What came across was what a class act Barry McGuigan was then, and still is now. I'll be buying the autobiography now you've said he's got one out.
Reading the IceMan at the minute. Really interesting but I wonder if it is exaggerated with how many he killed before getting caught?
No doubt about it. If you watch the documentaries of him on prison, you can tell he's blagging with some of the stuff he comes out with, but he's still a fascinating character nonetheless. I've read the book about 3 times.
