DAVE COURTNEY
STOP THE RIDE I WANT TO GET OFF
HARDBACK BOOK - ISBN: 1-85227-890-0
Book Description
This autobiography has made London's most infamous celebrity gangster - and the inspiration for the character Big Chris, played by Vinny Jones, in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - an international star. Read about Dave Courtney's shady and amoral past, his time in jail, the violent encounters that put him there, and why he has decided it's time to get out of the crime business. Meet machete-wielding Chinese waiters, unlicensed boxing promoters and debt collectors. 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.
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
