Born on February 17, 1959, Englishman David John Courtney, a well-known author, once thought of himself as a gangster. Courtney was born in Bermondsey, London. He went to the Sydenham Adamsrill Primary School in south-east London.
Author Bernard O’Mahoney and former member of the Richardson gang Frankie Fraser have accused Courtney of embellishing his background in crime and his underground standing; however, Courtney has denied these claims.
Oftentimes, Courtney highlights his ties to mob leaders such as Reggie Kray and Lenny McLean, even though Kray was only nine years old when he was imprisoned. Courtney has stated that he had to commit murder in order to survive and that he had been shot, stabbed, and had his nose broken off.
He claims that after he was in an automobile accident on the M20, “someone who had a grudge against him” attempted to kill him.
Dave Courtney OBE, which stands for One Big Ego, is his nickname, and he uses it a lot. At his Plumstead home, Camelot Castle, he has union flags, the cross of St. George, a large knuckle duster, and a painted picture of himself as a knight on display.
