I read that book a couple of years ago, a few years after reading the Roy Shaw Pretty Boy book. They were definitely a pair of interesting and colourful characters. Both gone now, but still held in high regard around London’s East End.

Yes, I read it too when I was teaching in Thailand. Interesting read. My friend met him and said he was a nice guy, but I am never sure about these type of people. I find it hard to fathom where the angst emanates from. Steve Hickmott aka "The General" - Head of the Chelsea Headhunters - has a bar over here in Subic. Again, met him and he seems like a nice enough guy but...


''Cruel but fair'' and the Piranha Brothers Monty Python sketch always spring to mind :D
