Alternative Speakers:

Dave Courtney O.B.E
Dave talks about his life and his connection with the Kray Twins which he thought would open lots of doors within his business but the media looked at it differently. Dave is now a very successful book author

Cass Pennant
Former West Ham firm leader and now author and publisher and the producer of the hit film "Cass"

Jason Marriner
Jason started life on the terraces at Chelsea. Jason was thrown into the public eye after a investigative documentary on football hooligans by Donald Macintyre which landed Jason in prison. Jason admits to having been "a bit of a nuisance" in the past. He tells his story in a frank and honest way. This is no run-of-the-mill series of "we done them" and "we run them" tales, but a proper account which blows the lid off the deceitful shenanigans that Donald MacIntyre got up to in the name of "investigative reporting". Jason tells how 344 hours of covertly shot BBC video was cunningly edited down to an hour to paint an unjust and prejudiced picture of him. He tells the story of the disgraceful court case (trial by TV) and his time "away" at Her Majesty's pleasure. Jason is now on the circuit giving talks to young supports and after dinner speeches about why its no longer cool to be a football holligan and what he really got upto

Carlton Leach
The man himself why the rise of the Foot soldiers was produced - Just like Jason started on the terraces but for West Ham and not Chelsea - if you want to know more, watch the film then you will want to book him.
Jason and Carlton are very good together as a double act
