Having read the book I thought it did over do the drugs bit a little but as it's a group of personal stories from people from each period pulled together to tell the story of the scene it just goes to show how important the drug side was to most of us at that time.So those who have airbrushed that side of the scene out of there memories are deluded to a certain extent.What the book reminded me was that I had forgotten those frightening bastards that were about (fortunately some of em were my mates or I knew some the other big lads) but in retrospect that was one the draws of the scene.........been a bit iffy,knowing dodgy guys,breaking all the rules.
I remember when the locals at Wigan used to come out the pubs after last orders & think it was fun to go "soulie" bashing,we used to pile off the Hull coach & throw ourselves into giving them a good kicking if we could.......it was the perfect night,a nighter,plenty of gear & a fight..........what more could you ask for,saved us scrapping with each other
Happy days.
Cheers
