"From the moment his mother went into labour with him, Alan Croghan's life was chaotic. As a young boy in north Dublin, he drank, took drugs & rarely went to school. What he loved best was stealing cars, driving them around, & swapping parts with his fellow thieves. By the age of 16 he had accumulated 35 criminal convictions, & yet he'd never been locked up. Fearing that his friends suspected he was a police informer, he contrived to get himself imprisoned. 'Wild Child' is the story of this troubled young boy, & of the man he became, a criminal & alcoholic who eventually had the strength & courage to get sober & go straight."
