In December 2013 at Chelmsford Court judge newton followed in the footsteps of Lord Justice Munby ( The High Court ) and Judge Moloney (Soutthend) by ruling in my favour.
I could not appear in person as at the time I was in Basildon Hospital on a life support machine and in a coma.
But such was the strength of my argument I still won the case.
As I wrote in my statement:
"Writing my autobiography without mentioning every detail about my marriage and divorce would be like Sir Geoff Hurst writing his and not mentioning his World Cup Final hat-trick"
A lovely turn of phrase I thought and the Judge agreed.
I wish I`d been able to say it in person but at the time our wonderful NHS was battling to keep me alive.
One of the first things I remember hearing after coming out of my 29 day coma was my Sam saying "Dad I`ve got a message from Sue.
She told me to tell you we`ve won".
Such was my medical condition it was quite a few days before I fully understood what he meant.
I had forgotten all about the Court Hearing but as my memory slowly returned I decided that even if it killed me I`d write my autobiography.
Dead men cant talk so had to write it before I died.
Part 1 `Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales` has already been published (available at Amazon, WHSmith, Waterstones and Foyles) and Part 2 will follow in October.
The first draft has already been written with extracts on this Blog and the finished version will be published in October.
Dead or alive the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth will be published. Re-writes are a chore but have to be done as every Chapter can be improved.
I have already changed the title from the optimistic `A Father & Daughter`(Re-united) to Marriage And Divorce (1989-2018).
This is the current cover.
