Dean Williams was born into the tough Scartho area of Grimsby in 1972. His father was a violent hard-drinking trawlerman who spent most of the year at sea & his shore time drinking & fighting. Obsessed with making young Dean man up Bob beat him & locked him in a cupboard under the stairs for days on end. Deans mother Andrea did her best but was also terrorised by Bob Williams. From the age of seven Dean was known locally as the spike thrower for accidentally impaling the head of a young tormentor with part of a bicycle. The aftermath was a wayward teenage life expulsion from school & notoriety through football hooliganism. But there were also times when Deans childhood captured echoes of a simpler way of life playing out until dusk catching newts & nicking gobstoppers. This astonishing memoir although touched by darkness & violence is infused with the sharpest humour. It has the atmosphere of a David Peace novel colliding with a Shane Meadows film. Like a cutting-edge nouveau Dead Mans Shoes or a Somebody Up There Likes Me for the 21st Century it is an uncompromising account of a life lived on the margins & the power of the creative spirit. ...
