  • In 2008 "celebrity" gangster Dave Courtney visited the Costa Blanca. He was booked to do a Q&A at the Lounge Bar, Costa Blanca talking about his very colourful life. I interviewed him prior to his shows. this is the full 30 min interview which was made into three episodes. Yes it's long, but I think very interesting.
    Dave Courtney was born in Bermondsey in 1959. He often focuses on his links with gangsters such as Reggie Kray and Lenny McLean although in the case of the former, he was nine years old when Kray was imprisoned.
    Courtney has claimed to have been shot, stabbed, had his nose bitten off, and stated that he has had to kill to stay alive. He makes the claim that his involvement in a car crash on the M20 was an attempt by "someone who had a grudge against him" to kill him.
    He often refers to himself as Dave Courtney OBE for "One Big Ego". His house in Plumstead, called 'Camelot Castle', is decorated with union flags and the cross of St George, a painted depiction of himself as a knight and a large knuckle duster
    Courtney claims to have been involved in debt-collecting, minding clubs, assault, contraband, and murder. He also claims he has spent time in Belmarsh Prison as a high security prisoner which has been backed up by ex-prison guard Jim Dawkins in his book "The Loose Screw".
    In his book F**k the Ride, Courtney claims to have been found not guilty in 19 separate trials. He has cultivated a reputation for using the knuckle duster when debt-collecting and was known as "The Yellow Pages of the Underworld"

    I like Dave Courtney he tells a good story.
    since this interview he admitted on Bernard omahoneys show he never actually killed anyone he was just playing the entertainment circuit and publisher's and film and documentary producer's wanted stories so he gave them stories but Good on him life's short and he'll go down in British criminal history he's left his mark and made books and films and TV
