Running is my drug. To be honest, drugs (and alcohol) used to be my drug, but now I've got the healthiest addiction going. Running is what has helped me fight my demons, win five world snooker championships, & cope with all the crap life's thrown at me. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, & in this book I look at everything that hasn't killed me, but has had a good go
- my addictive personality, depression, my dad's murder conviction, the painful break-up with the mother of my children, the difficulty of balancing family life with that of a sportsman. Those are the downers. But it's also about the great things in my life
- my kids, snooker, my dad's release from prison, great mates who have helped me, & the psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters who has taught me how not to run away from life when it gets tricky. For the first time, I explain some of my madder moments
- why I walked out in the middle of a match against Stephen Hendry, why I sat with a wet cloth over my face in a match against Mark King. This is a book about what it takes to be a champion
- the sacrifices you have to make, the obsessive practice, the selfishness. Finally, it's a book about what it's like to get the buzz. & I hope anybody who's ever got the running buzz will relate to this.

In 1995, a film called I.D., about an ambitious young copper who was sent undercover to track down the ‘generals’ of a football hooligan gang, achieved cult status for its sheer brutality & unsettling insight into the dark & often bloody side of the so-called beautiful game.

The film was so shocking it was hard to believe the mindless events that took place could ever happen in the real world. Well, believe it now...

Almost twenty years on, the man behind the film has explosively revealed that the script was largely a true story.

That man, James Bannon, was the ambitious undercover cop. The football club was Millwall F.C. & the gang that he infiltrated was The Bushwackers, among the most brutal & fearless in English football.
