Summary

Today I'm with my Dad as we discuss growing up in East London, living above off-licenses, working in casino's, running pubs and throwing it back to the West Ham days. We talk about the most difficult times in his life and how he became the UK's Crossfit champion.

This is the Eventful Life of my hero, Mr Woody Woodall.
