The True Story of a Football Hooligan
Renton Baker’s life spiraled out of control when his father died of cancer. He was drawn into football violence, and it was here that he started to live a double life. Renton’s love of violence on the football terraces, streets, pubs and clubs across England became too strong for him to resist.
Renton would decide on which football match to go to based on where the best punch up could be found. A young man who led a double life as a loving husband and father and as a heartless thug, Renton didn’t care what damage he inflicted on his rivals.
Until God shouwed him in a dramatic way that love and not hatred was the way forward. Renton always thought that he was surrounded by tough people on the street until he met some faithful Christians who were willing to step up to the front line in terms of their faith.
Listen to Renton’s account of how although saved by Jesus he was emotionally drawn into a dangerous situation that resulted in him facing a potential six year prison sentence.
Renton has a great passion to spread the Gospel to the world, and encourage others to do the same.
