Guilty Tiger
Merck cocaine, Keith Richards’ preferred drug of choice is back.
But there’s one fundamental difference to the uber coca that fuelled the Rolling Stones tour in 1975 – it’s been modified so it’s now undetectable in the human blood system. It’s already found its way into the Premiership and all further Olympic Games might just as well be cancelled until further notice.
Steve Allen’s a regular sort of guy. He pays his taxes and obeys the rules – mostly. He’s disillusioned with modern football and the state of the country, not buying into anyone’s ‘Big Society’, but it wasn’t always that way. Back in his youth when he and his friends, ‘The Big Five’, battled on the football terraces they were respected, revered... and feared.
Unexpectedly an ex girlfriend contacts Steve and offers him not only the opportunity to hit back at the scum on Britain’s streets but also at the person responsible for importing the insidious Merck into the country, someone he knows all too well from his dark, troubled past.
He now not only has the chance for redemption and revenge but he also has the opportunity to deliver football back to its rightful owners – the fans.
Can Steve Allen not only save his own soul, but football’s as well?
