Geoff Thompson's story is an odyssey through violence, as he built up a career as a bouncer and was involved in hundreds of brutal and bloody encounters. Finally, after nearly being killed in a gang attack, he took stock, reassessed his life and discovered a flair for writing. His story has now been made into a major film, "Clubbed", to be released in September 2008, starring Colin Salmon, and this is the tie-in edition.
Synopsis
Depressed, bullied, intimidated by life and indoctrinated to believe that this was his lot, Geoff Thompson, on the verge of a breakdown, decided to fight back. In a bid to confront his fears, he took a job as a bouncer in one of Britain's roughest nightclubs. This book tells the story of one man's search for courage.
