Synopsis
Review
Not read this one yet (sorry Jas!), but even if his activities as a youngster might have been a bit nefarious, Jason deserves a medal for being stitched up by that prick McIntyre – and remember I work in the media too! Basically it is the story of how Jason was set up by the BBC as a football hooligan, and ended up serving time in prison as a result. From all accounts – well worth a read, and yes, Jason is definitely someone we’d love to have on the show at some stage – after all he’s a member of our Facebook group!
Marriner’s book starts well before building momentum to become a compelling, convincing and comical account of his perceived injustice. In the convicted hooligan’s view it should have been Donal MacIntyre in the dock, not him. When you reach the end, the reader will more than half suspect he’s right. –Rick Lyons, Daily Star Sunday (Crime Correspondent)
Chelsea bad boy Jason Marriner tells how he was stitched up by the BBC – an eye-opening read. –Garry Bushell, Newspaper Columnist, Television Presenter and Author
It was a conspiracy all right, but Jason was the victim not the perpetrator. A fascinating insight into the lengths the authorities will go to to bring down someone they dislike. A lesson to us all. –Norman Parker, Author of ‘Parkhurst Tales: Behind the Locked Gates of Britain’s Toughest Jails’
