For more than a decade, conversations between the late David Rathband and his ghostwriter Tony Horne recorded during the writing of the best-selling Tango 190 have remained in a vault.
Now for the first time Tony shares them with David’s twin Darren – and you.
Darren and Tony walk you through the story from its humble beginnings in Staffordshire to its tragic end in Northumberland.
You will hear David’s own account of being shot and the subsequent trial of the two accomplices in the case, the untold story of dealing with becoming blind and the fatigue of the endless admin involved, tensions he held within Northumbria Police, depression, Pride of Britain Awards and going from hero to zero overnight, and ultimately how both contributors warned his suicide was inevitable.
In this emotional and painful story – albeit with the twins’ dark sense of humour, you will hear David. In his own words. For the first time.
