WATCH MY BACK

by Geoff Thompson

(Summersdale)

No fight fan’s bookcase would be complete without this classic piece of literature.

Watch My Back cuts straight to the bone, retracing the giant footsteps of an insecure young Thompson, who took up a fighting art to stop being bullied, only to be abused by his instructor, before then signing up for work on the door of some of England’s toughest nightclubs and bars, where Geoff then stood toe to toe with his demons.

This is an incredible journey that, fueled by blood, sweat and tears – and a truckload of guts – turned Geoff Thompson into the world’s most famous doorman.

In his book, Geoff discusses the shortfalls of a dojo-manufactured fighter against the battle-proven street fighter, and shows how Thompson transformed his life by setting hurdles for himself, which enabled him to go from being a victim to later in life confronting the number one bully from his past.

Watch My Back is a true classic.
