Description:
From running with the infamous Calton Tongs to running Calton Athletic, David Bryce's life is a remarkable story of crime, violence, alcoholism and drug addiction in Glasgow's gangland. A respected 'hard man', Bryce worked his way through most of HM's prisons in Scotland throughout the '60s and '70s before an epiphany in 1977 made him realise that he was a hopeless alcoholic who needed help...Gordon Brown, then a young MP, was so impressed that he wrote an article for The Observer about Bryce and Calton Athletic that led to a TV film starring Lenny Henry and Robbie Coltrane. In the '90s, Ewan McGregor, Irvine Welsh and the Trainspotting crew sought Davie's advice and friendship while making the internationally acclaimed cult film, while Robbie Williams begged to switch nationality and play for Calton Atheltic in an 'England v. Scotland' celebrity charity match....
