Book excerpt: Simon Williams is not only a well know Salford character but an author, poet, charity fundraiser, rugby journalist and likely lad, but has just put together another slice of Salford life, written in his own inimitable style, called "Coffin Nails and Salford Tales" a catchy enough title you'll agree?You may recall that he has penned several books about Salford life, (well basically, himself, i.e. an alter ego called simply Williams), confused? it's only early, but please read on, its worth it.Let's dip our toes into this smorgasbord of raw, Salford life, which for some reason reminded me of a bizarre Salford cookbook.Chuck in a hefty dollop of local characters, locations and blags, add a £50k wedge of cash, sprinkle with vodka and Bacardi, then marinate in Holts Regal Lager.Add a side dish of bent coppers, councillors, dodgy builders, a Lowry painting all to the sound of gunshots in a builders yard.Leave to simmer then add in kinky MP's, Spanish diamonds, bodies in concrete, broken hearts and broken noses for that full Salford effect.Finally, a slice of Salford RLFC, Manchester United and the price of stolen slates, stir well and then serve on a stolen Wetherspoons plate.Or in easier terms if you are from Salford then this is the book for you, you will instantly recognise the barely disguised heroes and villains that run riot through the pages of this book, who knows you may recognise yourself?.... I did.Tony Flynn Salford on Line
