Gaffer by John Rollinson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 266 KB
Overview: JOHN ‘GAFFER’ ROLLINSON is one of the most feared faces in the country. He is a man who never forgets and never forgives. His long-standing feuds are legendary in the underworld. His nose has been broken seven times, his jaw twice, and he’s been close to death more times than he cares to remember. He has known almost twenty people die in acts of violence, some friends, some enemies, most of them clubland acquaintances with similar turbulent backgrounds. He readily admits to coming from the dark side of life where ghoulish images of skulls and blood- spattered effigies from nightmares adorn the walls of his home. They speak volumes about the inner turmoil of this fighting machine.
MIKE FIELDER is a bestselling author and former Fleet Street crime reporter. He wrote the highly acclaimed The Murder of Rachel Nickell, and co-wrote Gangbuster with ex-Scotland Yard undercover cop Peter Blexley, which formed the basis of a two-part documentary. He also co-wrote Muscle, the autobiography of famous London face Carlton Leach.
John ‘Gaffer’ Rollinson is the most dangerous man in the country. If they issued certificates for brutality, he’d have a master’s degree. He has made the Villains’ Hall of Fame through a lifetime of unmitigated violence, driven by a fearsome rage that has seen him become a guest in Her Majesty’s prisons on half a dozen occasions. But the prison authorities – and the police – only know a fraction of Gaffer’s shocking exploits…
He could have been a boxer, but he was booted out of the sport as a teenager because his wild rages made him unfit to fight under the Queensberry rules and he was deemed an unacceptable risk even in the most violent of sports. And so he became a barber, but his cut-throat razor was soon put to a bloodier use as he carved a notorious reputation for himself throughout the clubland and debt collection circuit.
And yet despite his appalling record of violence, Gaffer is a man not without compassion. Ask the teenage drug addict he picked up off the street and on whom he spent thousands of pounds in a drug rehabilitation clinic. Or the neighbours whose mortgage he paid for six months to prevent them from being evicted.
Gaffer is a character people love or hate. There is no in-between. Good friend, terrible enemy – cross him and you will encounter a man haunted by terrible demons, driven by an awful violence. Do so at your peril..
