Smith’s debut on the marathon course go well? You’ll have to listen to this book to find out! Hint: the answer is a muscle-shredding, red-faced, ego-deflating no.

I chose violence. Not because I had to. Because I wanted to. I didn’t grow up in the streets. I grew up on a wealthy island outside Stockholm. And I still chose this life. This is the true story of how I became part of one of Europe’s most feared football firms and what it actually felt like to be there. Not written by a journalist. Not based on rumours. I lived it.
