Im not really a reader at all, but i fly to Zante next week in what will be the first relaxing childfree holiday ive had in 10 years, so i fancy treating myself to a decent book.

I usually read autobiographys, or books about Gangsters. I have a decent collection at home about the likes of The Krays, Lennie McClean and Roy Shaw etc who were fighting men. I also own quite a few books on a few old school gypsy bareknuckle fighters which are really good. Bartley Gorams is my favourite.

Can anybody suggest and recommend a book that would fit in this category please?
I also like books about ex Football hooligans talking about their time on the terraces.

Love Kalamki, one of our favourite places the Italian that’s upstairs on the main strip is owned by some people we know Nick and Lisa Cootsis and they are nearly always voted the best restaurant. Where are you staying we stay in Venus suites, cracking place. The Italian by the way is buon amici.
