I've always held the belief that everyone's got a fascinating story to tell. This is my account of growing up in London in the 1970's and '80's. Family life, the forming of friendships, trips abroad, school life, girlfriends, football, risks, adventures, , Spain, letters, culture, racism, drugs, events, death, work and a failed acting career. It's a chronological diary which I hope will inspire and trigger memories for anyone growing up at that time. There is nothing made up here, I wanted to represent the time as truthfully as I could.
