Gypsy Joe: Bare-Knuckle Fighter, Professional Golfer

Great book very interesting just goes to show what you can achieve in life

This is a fantastic book about what persevering with your dreams no matter what stands in your way. It's gritty and entertaining and unlike a lot of books about fighting has many bits of humour throughout.

Fascinating insight into the world of the traveller and the introduction to the professional golf arena .

Bought this book for my partner..He absolutely loved this book,reckons it's up there with one of the best books he's read!!..

Very good read from start to finish really enjoyed it

Very good book, I have read many books on bare knuckle fighting, gangsters etc.. And this is one of the best. And as an avid golf fan and player this was perfect for me. The prejudice by others that people have to suffer hinder dreams and this is a perfect example. I have no doubt Joe would have gone on to achieve great things but for the jealously of others.

This is a great read. No need to be a golfer or a boxing fan; it's just a riveting story, with lots of insights - not only into gypsy life as it is today but also into the criminal underworld. I read it in one take. Joe is honest about his mistakes and weaknesses, and not proud of some of the things he's done. But he seems to have come out the other side, and is clear about what he sees as right and wrong. I especially liked his observation that the nastier a criminal is, the more fervently he's proclaimed to be 'diamond geezer' by the hangers on who surround him. Deserves to be a bestseller.
