From Professional Rugby to Major Crime and Homicides

By Graham Goodman

"The human head is remarkably heavy." Between the 1960s and 1990s, Leeds was a city caught in the grip of change--marked by rising crime, economic decline, and fractured communities. From the shadow of the Yorkshire Ripper to riots in Chapeltown and the spread of drugs and gang violence, the city's streets bore witness to shifting tensions and growing unrest. At the heart of it all was Graham Goodman. A former rugby player for Hunslet F.C., Graham transitioned from the pitch to the prints, rising through the ranks of Leeds City Police to become one of the force's leading fingerprint experts and a skilled crime scene photographer. In this compelling autobiography, Graham recounts his remarkable journey--from his early days at Hunslet F.C. to his involvement in some of the city's most notorious cases. Along the way, he crossed paths with infamous figures like Billy the Liar, Donald Nappey, and the Yorkshire Ripper--playing a crucial role in bringing many of them to justice
