You're the first person to ever

I suppose... it was
when I was about eight or nine

and the queen came to visit.

The actual f*cking queen came
on our housing estate.

And we had this bit
where we played football.

It was just
a bit of wasteland.


And I remember
they did it all up, you know?

Did all--
got all new grass down,

painted everything, and it
just looked amazing, you know?


You--you just felt like...

you know, this is
how you should be living.

This is how it should be,
you know?

But soon as she was gone,
they ripped it all out.

They took their f*cking,
like, props and went.


Left it more of a sh*thole
than it was before somehow.


Couldn't even play football.

And I knew right then,
right in that moment,

that the straight life
wasn't for me.

It's like, they can do
whatever the f*ck they like,

but us--us, we have to play
by the rules.

I'm sure my dad struggling
all his life hasn't helped,

but...

I just can't--I can't get
that image out of my head,

you know,
the way they just left us.

So what are you trying to do,

become like one of the Kray
brothers or something?

Yeah, something like that.

Not as crazy as Ronnie though.

I know, I just--

try not to wind up in
Wormwood Scrubs along the way.

How about you?
