"Those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell." Paul Doyle has not just been a thorn in the side, more like a thicket bush to the face of the authorities, organised crime gangs and hooligan football firms across Europe, not to mention to a torturous drug lord who has wanted him dead for over three decades. This book tells the extraordinary tale of a boy left to rot in the penal system whose harsh experiences turned him into a man who feared no one, but was feared by many. A street fighter who became a well recognised head of Manchester's underworld. Whose life was packed with death defying experiences, savage encounters and brutal violence. From the bleak cobbled streets of Salford, to the Cannabis hub of the world - Amsterdam. This is an astonishing account of one epic journey to the top table of organised crime.
The most famous living rock musician on the planet, Paul McCartney is now regarded as a slightly cosy figure, an (inter)national treasure. Back in the 1970s, however, McCartney cut a very different figure. He was, literally, a man on the run. Desperately trying to escape the shadow of the Beatles, he became an outlaw hippy millionaire, hiding out on his Scottish farmhouse in Kintyre before travelling the world with makeshift bands and barefoot children. It was a time of numerous drug busts and brilliant, banned and occasionally baffling records. For McCartney, it was an edgy, liberating and sometimes frightening period of his life that has largely been forgotten. Man on the Run paints an illuminating picture: from McCartney's nervous breakdown following the Beatles' split through his apparent victimisation by the authorities to the rude awakening of his imprisonment for marijuana possession in Japan in 1980 and the shocking wake-up call of John Lennon's murder. Ultimately, it poses the question: if you were one quarter of the Beatles, could you really outrun your past?
