Alan Mortlock - What do people know about him

[Stocks]

Just about to read his book, did he promote or is he still promoting boxing? I know he's got an MMA show coming up. Good guy?

Dont know much about him personally but found the following on the internet.

Sounds like he used to be a pretty nasty peice of work according to this article, before he 'found Jesus':

Is that every 'hardman' in England who has written a book now, or are we still missing a few?

I'm waiting for 'Purple Akis' life story - what a read that would be!

Met him a couple of times at his unlicensed shows and he seemed a nice enough chap.

Don't really see the fascination of "hardman/crime" books to be honest unless it's about the guys at the very top of it all.

Try a book about Pablo Escobar is you like reading about villans.
Try a Geoff Thompson book if you like reading about regular guys that can have a fight.
Try a Chopper book for violence and story telling.

Seem's like anyone that has had more than 3 or 4 bar room brawls starts penning their life story these days!
