Dean Wishaw interview:
Timecode: 07:02:20

Timecode: 08:20:15
Supporter tips Bramall's cap over to one side - Bramall retaliates.


  Commentary:

Dean interview:
Timecode: 07:04:45
'When I look at Roy and what he does, that's how I want to turn out. I think he's got a lot of guts, a lot of balls. All the others are tossers.'
 
 

Stay in vision with Dean throughout this byte.

  Commentary:
'There are still, perhaps surprisingly given the Force's current emphases, quite a high proportion of non-graduate recruits. Dean's background has been tougher than most.'

Dean interview:
Timecode: 07:17:23
'My Dad left my Mam when I was young. Well, he used to have a go at me. Used to beat me up and that. Which is totally out of order. And he left before I could do anything about it…(sub) If I saw him now I'd kill him. I'd knock him out totally. I wanted to get my own back. I've got a lot of aggression in me really.'

  Commentary:
'And growing up on the notorious Skeetsmoor estate has not demotivated this young man - as it has so many others. However, the experience has left him raw and hostile.'

Dean interview:
Timecode: 07:20:20
'I want summat where I can get out and do summat. Kick people's arses really. Because there's a lot of dick'eds. Our estate's just full of tossers. You know - people who think they're summat. Having a go at you all the time. Well, this is the reason I joined. Show 'em what I'm made of and that. Fucking about with me.'


 
 

Timecode: 08:10:47
Dean amongst small throng round van -bit of jostling. NB:
CUs of feet (look much more violent than the wide shots).

  Commentary:
'Dean's hot-headed pursuit of trouble has sometimes been tantamount to incitement.'

Dean interview:
Timecode: 07:22:43
'When you've got a call for a fight -forget these (indicating collar number). They fucking come off, do you know what I mean? Because you can kick arse then. No one knows who you are see.'

Dean interview:
Timecode: 07:24:19
'He's been educated, which is more than I've been. That's not going to get the job done. We get the job done. I think I'm one of the few ones that has the guts to do it.'


 
 

Timecode: 08:18:00
