Billy Ferris sought refuge at the home of Steve Sinclair's family in Blackpool whilst on thr run from a life sentence. Sinclair recently published a book (Blackpool Rock) about his time running the doors in Blackpool. To the police, he was Public Enemy Number One. To drunken gangs of yobs intent on trouble, he was a nightmare come true. Steve Sinclair was the toughest doorman in the wildest resort in Britain.

Sinclair and his closest associates fought hundreds of battles against football hooligans, drug dealers and rival hard men. The Blackpool Rock is a candid insight into the dangerous world of the modern doorman and of the extreme methods he sometimes employs to defend himself and his customers and to uphold his hard-won reputation.
