About the Book

Society played a part in the death of my baby brother. The demand for perfection and what was deemed acceptable by our everyday standards helped mold a fragile frame in a young man's mind.

The security and resolution I needed was never to be found within the realms of the everyday working world. I learned to reconcile with what you may unfairly call the "ills of society".

I found not only resolve, but also harmony within the world, a world that all members of our populace are exposed to in their lives and is part of a culture, even if you chose to ignore it, is one we all live in. I'm not only lucky enough, but also privileged to have been welcomed and accepted in this world, and here their stories will show that this syndicate are of the same making of us all.

For me and my brothers none of our heroes wore capes.

About the Author

Born and raised in London, Jason maintained friendships with some of the most talked and read about people ranging from villains, football hooligans and the stars of inner city culture.

Customer Reviews

"A book I didn't think would keep my attention - BUT - once I started reading it I felt at times I was actually there and felt their painful struggle to survive and make a place in society for themselves in a way they only knew how. This book has been writen with words from the heart and soul, and as I've been lucky enough to meet and call Phil Dalby my FRIEND, I can only say what a FANTASTIC group of people they all must be! x"

Costa Tinos
"Abdolutely loved it, Phils chapter will make a great film, well done Jason."

Andy
"Absolutely amazing read, in fact read we read this book more than once. Gave me goosebumps on several occasions. To know love, comradeship, friendship, morals and principles of life, is an understatement of what this book is about. To actually know Phil Dalby alone is an honour. I think it should be a book that many individuals in our society should read and take onboard xx Thank you Jason Allday, all of your other comrades and our friend Phil Dalby for being part of something that makes us proud of the people we are, and should continue to be. xx"

"All i can say is what a book Jason, i was captivated from page one to the excellent last Chapter by Phil Dalby, a book that shows me that real men are still around, absolutely loved it. Pat , Brisbane. xx"

Pat Mitchell.
"An absolute stomping page turner. From Hammers to Hammer Fist, a gritty, down to earth honest read. I have to admit, on purchase I turned straight to Phil Dalby's chapter. Having been brought up on the same estate it provoked many memories. Phil was always a gent, always polite and always ready to face injustice (a real life Marvel Super Hero of his time!).
Jason has cleverly put together a book that captures the true essence of life back in the day. Definitely worth a second read. A fabulous tribute. RIP Junior."

Joanne H-D
"An excellent book Jason, every chapter is different, and the last chapter by Phil Dalby rocked man. Top chap. RIP Junior."

"Cranham in the 70s was the place to be,music was a mixture of Abba, slade, thin Lizzy and Status Quo all rolled in to one, the winter it snowed and summer the sun shone, we all had nick names mine was killer, Steve Walker, Mark Ellis , Andy sarfus were all hard, love was everywhere and if you wanted a fight that was even easier, pub brawls with the Elm Park , Rainham, Brentwood were a big event, but when our gang mention the names Phil and Paul Dalby, thats where we wanted to be...Should be a film about Mr Dalby, why the hell not."

"Fantastic book Jason. and Phil Dalby saved me from getting attacked in Cyprus on 1 occasion and he was out numbered but that never deterred him, what a top man, and top book Rip Junior.xx Alison Pilkington Bolton, Manchester. xx"

Alison Pilkington.
"Fantastic book Jason. forget Reg and Ronnie Kray and all these 2 bit gangsters only one man shines for me and thats Phil Dalbys chapter, i have heard all the stories how he took on six knife wielding thugs at a funfare in Hornchurch who were robbing two young lads and attacking them at knifepoint, only to end up being smashed to pieces by phil, or how he took on three south London doorman in a pub in Upminster who were dragging a young girl out by her hair..these are not rumours these are true stories who any one can tell you from Essex that this really happened, why this was not mentioned in the book god only knows, but we are talking about a real Legend here , who does not go out to get a name but instead is willing to risk his own life to help others who need it. Should be a film and a book about Phil Dalby it will put all these gangsters to shame. RIP JUNIOR."

M.Sargent
"Fantastic book well done Jason, RIP JUNIOR."

Jason
"Fantastic book, brilliantly written by Jason Allday. The gritty truth of life back in the day, helped by the fact I was around that time myself, therefore even more poignant. The people, the way of life, the consequences of actions taken, all very real in life as in the book itself! You have to read it to appreciate the time an effort the man himself spent getting together all participants, well done Jason your a credit to the book world and the people that love you and the friends that hold you in high respect. I loved it!"

Julie Mackins
"Fantastic Book, in the words of Jason Allday none of our heroes wore capes, Phil I have never heard of you but I am very sure I will be hearing more about you in the near future, a true warrior in my eyes. RIP JUNIOR."

Well done Jason Allday look forward to the next book. Sofia. Belgium."

Sofia Eve
"I am very taken in by the british culture scene, this book takes you into the heart of the ganglands and Hooligans, Phil Dalbys chapter makes you see how a very British disease soon become an international reality, it spread like dust in the wind across into Europe and all over the world..alot more in phils chapter its a must read, well done Jason."

Paul Perry. Los Angeles.
"I bought this book because I heard that Phil Dalby had a chapter in it, was interested to see if he had put in the book about the time he saved a friend and me from a gang of six knife wielding men at the fair in Hornchurch who robbed us at knife point and attacked us, well he never so I will let the world know we were robbed on the podium of a penny slot machines at a fun fair in Hornchuch, Phil from out of no where must of spotted what was going on, he came in like a hurricane, next minute all the yobs were sat flat on there arses after being knocked off the podium with some awesome punches that broke some of there noses and jaws,then phil jumped down at them and said you want to play games do you, and struck out again, I have never seen so many so called hard men cry like babies after phil hit them, Phil we are honoured to have been saved by a True legend, thank you. Andy."

Andrew Perry
"I could not put this book down, really enthralled reading all the different stories, but most of all the last chapter from Phil was excellent, i give the man my total admiration. Great Book Jason, RIP Junior.

M.C
"I must to say I love this book, thank you Jason for showing me that there are still real men in the world, Phil Dalby I adore you and must to say that I also love you story, want you for my hero any day."

Juliet Fortee
"I was in two mind about buying this book, as I just don't get the whole football violence nonsense, never really understood the point of it, but a friend said the book was ""Much more than that"" and that he thought it was a ""Good read"" so I bought the book & was quite shocked to admit I thought it was a good read :O .. I found that when I started the book, instead of it taking ages to read, I blasted through it and did no work instead for two days.. Now I have no idea if it's a book others will find they can't put down or not but, I would honestly say to anyone that I found it an interesting read and that the football violence bit is only a part of a book that tells a much bigger story. I have recommended the book to a couple of friends, I wouldn't do that if the content of the book wasn't worth reading.. my lasting impression of the book is.. it was worth buying and reading and I'm pleased I did & it's a lasting tribute to Junior.."

Fraser
"If you want a book that pulls no punches then this is it, especially the final chapter from Phil...Quality Jason Allday. James Aberdeen."

James Dorrington
"If you want to read a book that tells you how it was back in the day where men were men then this is it, Phil Dalby's Chapter captures it all and even goes further than back in the day ...it gives a very gripping read into a riot that happened in Cyprus only a few years back..that fella is solid. Rip Junior. Colin ..Detroit City."

Col
"Im a spurs fan but truly loved this book Jason, esp the last chapter by Phil what a read."

"shane, "
"Im from Stepney grew up with West Ham Just round the corner ..but living in
Ohio now...an avid west ham fan...ive read all of Cass Penants books and Bill Gardners and absolutely love them, so i thought i would buy this book not thinking it would meet up to my expectations..how wrong was i ..it blew my expectations sky high, and to seal it for me was Phil Dalbys chapter which was totaly amazing and seemed unreal, but i have asked about him from my pals back home and they all have heard of him and assure me the stories are true,,Top Man Phil you have surpassed Cass and Bill ...thank you Jas for a top book."

"Tony , "

Jim Burridge.
"Jason Allday what an amazing book, loved the way you brought together every ones life story into your brothers Life Junior, for me i must say that Phil Dalbys chapter is by far the one that stands out, and in my eyes you should make a film for Junior, it would make a fantastic film, you need someone like Tarantino to make it would be supreme Jason. RIP Junior. Maria from Rumania. x"

Vioroka Maria Petrou...RUMANIA
"Jason Allday's book about his life and that of his brother is both heartwarming and sad. Jason's brother was tragically taken took early due to presssures that he was unable to sadly cope with. The book is well written and gripping. Favorite chapter was the one written by Phil Dalby, it was engrossing and covered his challenging early life. A great testament to a nice bloke with an interesting story to tell."

"Just brilliant Jason. Sonia, Memphis."

sonia M.
"Let me start by saying i was at Hollywoods Nightclub Romford when Phil Dalby, Cliffy Attewell, Rusty and Leso had the the best fight i have ever witnissed in my life against Tony Tucker and his bully boy Henchman, to me it was good V Evil, and the Cranham boys never backed down once absolutely amazing and men that i admire, even though i would not have the courage to do what they did, alot of people talk the talk, but Phil and his chaps talk the talk and also walk the walk, they dont know me but i witnissed every moment and move , the boys are stout and solid thats all i can say, what a wicked read Jason Allday, thank you for putting the stories from pen to paper, Cranham Legends, Phil, Cliffy, Rusty and Leso."

M. J
"Living in Ypsonas this book brought back some terrible memories of the riot that took place in 2008,how lucky was we to have Phil Dalby as our saviour that evening, what a blessing god had sent us, really thrilling read Jason, RIP JUNIOR."

Howard Mc Alpine
"My Aunt bought me this for a Christmas present (along with a bottle of Tequila)!! As a huge football fan, albeit ManU (sorry guys but I am only 20!) & having been brought up in Essex it was a great read, and seriously I don't read that much. Great last chapter by Phil Dalby, especially as I know my father & aunt were both from Upminster. Will definitely be telling all my mates about it....cheers guys!!"

G Markham
"Never turn a blind....This is what he teaches us... We can all be heroes if we do what is right and never turn a blind eye to bullies, injustice and disrespect...have just had the pleasure of stating with him in Cyprus..A great honour and joy. Junior is a superb book in many ways... cult.. social document but for me .. It is a life coaching book.. many layers of lessons there... I am utterly convinced that there should and MUST be a film about the Cranham and Cypriot legend .. His chapter is jaw dropping and is usually found only in Marvel comics... We became friends through West Ham and Junior.. my brother asked to help promote his book.. little did I know who was contacting me to like something... A man who is top dog among reading about all those other characters... true hard men.. but Phil Dalby NO sense of fear or consequences.. He would die for what is right.. not many can say that.. The readers should pop in to his friendly bar in Limassol.. meet his lovely partner Kay and friends.. play darts and chat to a man of character and loyalty.. and total optimism and positive joy for the good life...producers out there? Make that film.. its THE film of the genre... and don't forget.. to live like him.. Never ever turn a blind eye... Jason Allday.. Top writer of the genre.. together.. unmatchable.5"

Tony Rmcf Dear
"No one is pretending to be an Angel here but where there is no honour amongst thieves there is clearly honour amongst football firms, even if you dont like West Ham United or football in general this is a really interesting book, well worth the readand fascinating for being real rather than fiction. Read Phil Dalby's chapter where you cannot help but become immersed in the culture and the way he conducts himself.The battle scenes are as good as Bernard Cornwall or Conn Iggulden! Even if you condone Violence you get to respect the clear and simple code of Honour here and a sense of brotherhood in the Cranham boys firm that repeatedly takes on overwhelming odds. Even after Phil ends up with Titanium plates in his head!Give this a try ! If there is a sequel i will be reading it. "

Dunkycy
"Not the sort of book I would normally read, it was recommended to me by my friend, but once I got into it I could not leave it alone, the final chapter for me stood out well done Phil."

Babsy
"Oh my god what a book Jason Allday....i think Phil Dalby has rightly deserved and earned his stripes and colours, and the Title of a real true Legend, seems an honourable man who stands up for what is right, looking forward to another book from you Jason. Christina. FLORIDA."

"Oh my goodness what a book, so impressed with Phils Chapter it is very Empowering, but well done all. x"

Stephanie
"Ok where do i start Jason Allday, every chapter was fantastic, as a United states of America Citizen this book threw me..it made me realise that as a super power we own to many guns...after reading this awesome book i stepped back and hats off to you brits you have got it right. Man you dudes love a brawl and thats how it should be...every chapter had me gripped but the last chapter by Phil Dalby the super hero had me pinned to each page,Phil have you ever seen the film Death Wish with Charles Bronson,,,thats what you remind me of, the only difference being is that you use your fists not a gun, Dude i would love to get you a beer and shake your hand,,FFS how does any man go into 30 armed men single handed and walk away alive is beyond me, but you did and you have my total admiration, a true super Hero, forget all these films we make in USA..they should make a film about you dude, you are a top man in my eyes.love to hear more about you. Thank you Jason for showing the world that there are real people out there who risk their lives for any one."

Pat Fisher
"This book was a recommended read for me, Im a Glasgow man with very little interest in football or firms of any kind. So i was unsure how i would receive Junior. Howether i was enthralled with it's honesty and true Comraderie. The loyalty of the tight brotherhood with in the West Ham firm, each and every member being up front to the consequences of their actions with Gusto but not glamourising anything. I feel very sorry for the innocent members of the public caught up in the clashes of rival gangs.Phil Dalby's own testament is a movie in the waiting, he is a true survivor, Jason Allday you have done Junior Proud, this book is for keeps. Rip Junior."

"This is a top book, must say i loved every chapter, and also like to say that i remember Phil Dalby when i was around 18, he must of been twice my age , down the Masons Arms pub in Upminster the xmas of 96, he went thru three south london doorman as if it was nothing, 1 of them looked like terror out of the film wanderers, in less than a minute he wiped them all out becouse they had dragged a girl out the toilets by her hair,then he calmly walked up to the manageress Dott and her husband and said...it's about time you get your self some new doormen, and so cool walked out the pub, man this shit happens in films and i just witnissed it in real life. Top man Phil. Martin Romford."

"True Grit !!! Best read since Bravo 2 Zero.
This book delivers a true punch the real life of boys and men who living in the Thatcher era had to not only fight for their freedom but also their love of a football club. And at the same time fight inner demons that would eventually lead to the tragic loss of much loved soul[Junior] how Jasondescribes his own life and the life of his little brother will touch any mans heart and will bring back memories for so many who have been in the shoes of a big brother.This book is a testament to sort of characters who Jason and his brother are, True gentlemen and true football fans. But not forgetting the lifes of so many others who struggled with life growing up in the same towns across the country and being drawn into the world of loyalty,respect and dedication to a band of brothers who would stand toe to toe when the heat is onand never let a mate down, and stand up for there right to be called the best and hardest in the world.

"A book I didn't think would keep my attention - BUT - once I started reading it I felt at times I was actually there and felt their painful struggle to survive and make a place in society for themselves in a way they only knew how. This book has been writen with words from the heart and soul, and as I've been lucky enough to meet and call Phil Dalby my FRIEND, I can only say what a FANTASTIC group of people they all must be! x "

"An absolute stomping page turner. From Hammers to Hammer Fist, a gritty, down to earth honest read. I have to admit, on purchase I turned straight to Phil Dalby's chapter. Having been brought up on the same estate it provoked many memories. Phil was always a gent, always polite and always ready to face injustice (a real life Marvel Super Hero of his time!).
Jason has cleverly put together a book that captures the true essence of life back in the day. Definitely worth a second read. A fabulous tribute. RIP Junior."

"Cranham in the 70s was the place to be,music was a mixture of Abba, slade, thin Lizzy and Status Quo all rolled in to one, the winter it snowed and summer the sun shone, we all had nick names mine was killer, Steve Walker, Mark Ellis , Andy sarfus were all hard, love was everywhere and if you wanted a fight that was even easier, pub brawls with the Elm Park , Rainham, Brentwood were a big event, but when our gang mention the names Phil and Paul Dalby, thats where we wanted to be...Should be a film about Mr Dalby, why the hell not."

Alison Pilkington.
"Fantastic book Jason. forget Reg and Ronnie Kray and all these 2 bit gangsters only one man shines for me and thats Phil Dalbys chapter, i have heard all the stories how he took on six knife wielding thugs at a funfare in Hornchurch who were robbing two young lads and attacking them at knifepoint, only to end up being smashed to pieces by phil, or how he took on three south London doorman in a pub in Upminster who were dragging a young girl out by her hair..these are not rumours these are true stories who any one can tell you from Essex that this really happened, why this was not mentioned in the book god only knows, but we are talking about a real Legend here , who does not go out to get a name but instead is willing to risk his own life to help others who need it. Should be a film and a book about Phil Dalby it will put all these gangsters to shame. RIP JUNIOR."

M.Sargent

"I bought this book because I heard that Phil Dalby had a chapter in it, was interested to see if he had put in the book about the time he saved a friend and me from a gang of six knife wielding men at the fair in Hornchurch who robbed us at knife point and attacked us, well he never so I will let the world know we were robbed on the podium of a penny slot machines at a fun fair in Hornchuch, Phil from out of no where must of spotted what was going on, he came in like a hurricane, next minute all the yobs were sat flat on there arses after being knocked off the podium with some awesome punches that broke some of there noses and jaws,then phil jumped down at them and said you want to play games do you, and struck out again, I have never seen so many so called hard men cry like babies after phil hit them, Phil we are honoured to have been saved by a True legend, thank you. Andy."

Andrew Perry
"I could not put this book down, really enthralled reading all the different stories, but most of all the last chapter from Phil was excellent, i give the man my total admiration. Great Book Jason, RIP Junior.

"I must to say I love this book, thank you Jason for showing me that there are still real men in the world, Phil Dalby I adore you and must to say that I also love you story, want you for my hero any day."

Juliet Fortee
"I was in two mind about buying this book, as I just don't get the whole football violence nonsense, never really understood the point of it, but a friend said the book was ""Much more than that"" and that he thought it was a ""Good read"" so I bought the book & was quite shocked to admit I thought it was a good read :O .. I found that when I started the book, instead of it taking ages to read, I blasted through it and did no work instead for two days.. Now I have no idea if it's a book others will find they can't put down or not but, I would honestly say to anyone that I found it an interesting read and that the football violence bit is only a part of a book that tells a much bigger story. I have recommended the book to a couple of friends, I wouldn't do that if the content of the book wasn't worth reading.. my lasting impression of the book is.. it was worth buying and reading and I'm pleased I did & it's a lasting tribute to Junior.. "

"If you Love West Ham, you will love this book, Violence fashion and music it has it all, with a superb closing chapter from Phil Dalby, it's a must read."

"If you want a book that pulls no punches then this is it, especially the final chapter from Phil...Quality Jason Allday. James Aberdeen."

James Dorrington
"If you want to read a book that tells you how it was back in the day where men were men then this is it, Phil Dalby's Chapter captures it all and even goes further than back in the day ...it gives a very gripping read into a riot that happened in Cyprus only a few years back..that fella is solid. Rip Junior. Colin ..Detroit City."

"shane,"
"Im from Stepney grew up with West Ham Just round the corner ..but living in
Ohio now...an avid west ham fan...ive read all of Cass Penants books and Bill Gardners and absolutely love them, so i thought i would buy this book not thinking it would meet up to my expectations..how wrong was i ..it blew my expectations sky high, and to seal it for me was Phil Dalbys chapter which was totaly amazing and seemed unreal, but i have asked about him from my pals back home and they all have heard of him and assure me the stories are true,,Top Man Phil you have surpassed Cass and Bill ...thank you Jas for a top book. "

"Jason Allday what an amazing book, i could not put this down not even to sleep!!. Phil Dalby what a chapter, this reminds me of some of the stories my dad use to tell me about you when i was naughty lol. Its Just a shame that he is not here to read this amazing book, Big Jim Burridge would of loved it. Thank you Jason Allday, RIP Junior and my dad Jim Burridge senior. x "

Jim Burridge.
"Jason Allday what an amazing book, loved the way you brought together every ones life story into your brothers Life Junior, for me i must say that Phil Dalbys chapter is by far the one that stands out, and in my eyes you should make a film for Junior, it would make a fantastic film, you need someone like Tarantino to make it would be supreme Jason. RIP Junior. Maria from Rumania. x"

Vioroka Maria Petrou...RUMANIA
"Jason Allday's book about his life and that of his brother is both heartwarming and sad. Jason's brother was tragically taken took early due to presssures that he was unable to sadly cope with. The book is well written and gripping. Favorite chapter was the one written by Phil Dalby, it was engrossing and covered his challenging early life. A great testament to a nice bloke with an interesting story to tell. "

Ed
"Just brilliant Jason. Sonia, Memphis."

sonia M.
"Let me start by saying i was at Hollywoods Nightclub Romford when Phil Dalby, Cliffy Attewell, Rusty and Leso had the the best fight i have ever witnissed in my life against Tony Tucker and his bully boy Henchman, to me it was good V Evil, and the Cranham boys never backed down once absolutely amazing and men that i admire, even though i would not have the courage to do what they did, alot of people talk the talk, but Phil and his chaps talk the talk and also walk the walk, they dont know me but i witnissed every moment and move , the boys are stout and solid thats all i can say, what a wicked read Jason Allday, thank you for putting the stories from pen to paper, Cranham Legends, Phil, Cliffy, Rusty and Leso."

M. J
"Living in Ypsonas this book brought back some terrible memories of the riot that took place in 2008,how lucky was we to have Phil Dalby as our saviour that evening, what a blessing god had sent us, really thrilling read Jason, RIP JUNIOR."

"My Aunt bought me this for a Christmas present (along with a bottle of Tequila)!! As a huge football fan, albeit ManU (sorry guys but I am only 20!) & having been brought up in Essex it was a great read, and seriously I don't read that much. Great last chapter by Phil Dalby, especially as I know my father & aunt were both from Upminster. Will definitely be telling all my mates about it....cheers guys!!"

G Markham
"Never turn a blind....This is what he teaches us... We can all be heroes if we do what is right and never turn a blind eye to bullies, injustice and disrespect...have just had the pleasure of stating with him in Cyprus..A great honour and joy. Junior is a superb book in many ways... cult.. social document but for me .. It is a life coaching book.. many layers of lessons there... I am utterly convinced that there should and MUST be a film about the Cranham and Cypriot legend .. His chapter is jaw dropping and is usually found only in Marvel comics... We became friends through West Ham and Junior.. my brother asked to help promote his book.. little did I know who was contacting me to like something... A man who is top dog among reading about all those other characters... true hard men.. but Phil Dalby NO sense of fear or consequences.. He would die for what is right.. not many can say that.. The readers should pop in to his friendly bar in Limassol.. meet his lovely partner Kay and friends.. play darts and chat to a man of character and loyalty.. and total optimism and positive joy for the good life...producers out there? Make that film.. its THE film of the genre... and don't forget.. to live like him.. Never ever turn a blind eye... Jason Allday.. Top writer of the genre.. together.. unmatchable.5"

Tony Rmcf Dear
"No one is pretending to be an Angel here but where there is no honour amongst thieves there is clearly honour amongst football firms, even if you dont like West Ham United or football in general this is a really interesting book, well worth the readand fascinating for being real rather than fiction. Read Phil Dalby's chapter where you cannot help but become immersed in the culture and the way he conducts himself.The battle scenes are as good as Bernard Cornwall or Conn Iggulden! Even if you condone Violence you get to respect the clear and simple code of Honour here and a sense of brotherhood in the Cranham boys firm that repeatedly takes on overwhelming odds. Even after Phil ends up with Titanium plates in his head!Give this a try ! If there is a sequel i will be reading it."

Dunkycy
"Not the sort of book I would normally read, it was recommended to me by my friend, but once I got into it I could not leave it alone, the final chapter for me stood out well done Phil."

Stephanie
"Ok where do i start Jason Allday, every chapter was fantastic, as a United states of America Citizen this book threw me..it made me realise that as a super power we own to many guns...after reading this awesome book i stepped back and hats off to you brits you have got it right. Man you dudes love a brawl and thats how it should be...every chapter had me gripped but the last chapter by Phil Dalby the super hero had me pinned to each page,Phil have you ever seen the film Death Wish with Charles Bronson,,,thats what you remind me of, the only difference being is that you use your fists not a gun, Dude i would love to get you a beer and shake your hand,,FFS how does any man go into 30 armed men single handed and walk away alive is beyond me, but you did and you have my total admiration, a true super Hero, forget all these films we make in USA..they should make a film about you dude, you are a top man in my eyes.love to hear more about you. Thank you Jason for showing the world that there are real people out there who risk their lives for any one."

Pat Fisher
"This book was a recommended read for me, Im a Glasgow man with very little interest in football or firms of any kind. So i was unsure how i would receive Junior. Howether i was enthralled with it's honesty and true Comraderie. The loyalty of the tight brotherhood with in the West Ham firm, each and every member being up front to the consequences of their actions with Gusto but not glamourising anything. I feel very sorry for the innocent members of the public caught up in the clashes of rival gangs.Phil Dalby's own testament is a movie in the waiting, he is a true survivor, Jason Allday you have done Junior Proud, this book is for keeps. Rip Junior."

"This is a top book, must say i loved every chapter, and also like to say that i remember Phil Dalby when i was around 18, he must of been twice my age , down the Masons Arms pub in Upminster the xmas of 96, he went thru three south london doorman as if it was nothing, 1 of them looked like terror out of the film wanderers, in less than a minute he wiped them all out becouse they had dragged a girl out the toilets by her hair,then he calmly walked up to the manageress Dott and her husband and said...it's about time you get your self some new doormen, and so cool walked out the pub, man this shit happens in films and i just witnissed it in real life. Top man Phil. Martin Romford."

Emmily
"True Grit !!! Best read since Bravo 2 Zero.
This book delivers a true punch the real life of boys and men who living in the Thatcher era had to not only fight for their freedom but also their love of a football club. And at the same time fight inner demons that would eventually lead to the tragic loss of much loved soul[Junior] how Jasondescribes his own life and the life of his little brother will touch any mans heart and will bring back memories for so many who have been in the shoes of a big brother.This book is a testament to sort of characters who Jason and his brother are, True gentlemen and true football fans. But not forgetting the lifes of so many others who struggled with life growing up in the same towns across the country and being drawn into the world of loyalty,respect and dedication to a band of brothers who would stand toe to toe when the heat is onand never let a mate down, and stand up for there right to be called the best and hardest in the world.

Junior not only takes you on a journey through time, it has the ability to reel you in as it is almost impossible to put down. Expertly written and executed, Jason manages to captivate the reader and invigorate the mind. It will challenge you emotionally, bring back memories, provoking thoughts, and immerse you within the text. A must have, a must read. Brilliant.
