A young cop in England realises whilst chasing a suspect with a rifle that his life will never be the same again. It lead to infiltrating football hooligans as a 17-stone skinhead.

Garry Rogers QPM is a former undercover operative who served 30 years with the Greater Manchester Police.

Garry played a key role in one of the UK's most successful undercover policing operations, targeting the football hooliganism that blighted the domestic and international game. The undercover operation was so successful, that the GMP extended the operation to target serious and violent crime, and it was Garry who gained the trust of armed robbers, drug dealers, and a murderer.
