Blue Murder Chelsea Till I Die

based on meticulously researched true facts, with the names changed to protect the key protagonists, author mark worrall skilfully delivers johnny nipper’s moralistic life-story in two parts. embracing throughout the glittering wit and vernacular of the terraces, the prologue details nipper’s reunion with chopper lewis is goa. it recalls their first meeting, a midweek away match with not so mighty rotherham united that chelsea spectacularly lost 6-0, and sets the scene for what is to follow. part one retraces a fledgling nipper’s tracks from his time as a teenage punk rocking sheddite, via sojourns in ibiza and goa, through to his immersion in the chemical end of the London gangland swimming pool which he willingly dives into with pound signs in his eyes alongside his fiercely ambitious girlfriend holly. part two is a fortnight-long high octane roller-coaster ride around the london underworld which sees nipper double-crossing his friends and jousting with his enemies as his life spirals out of control and ultimately implodes.
