Dave Courtney biography
Courtney was born in Bermondsey, London, and attended Adamsrill Primary School in Sydenham, south-east London. Despite being only nine years old when gangster Reggie Kray was imprisoned, Courtney often boasts about his connections with notorious criminals like Kray and Lenny McLean.
He has made outrageous claims of being shot, stabbed, and even having his nose bitten off, as well as admitting to having killed himself to protect himself. Courtney alleges that a car crash on the M20 was an attempt on his life by someone with a grudge against him.
He refers to himself as Dave Courtney, OBE, with the suffix standing for One Big Ego. His home in Plumstead, known as Camelot Castle, is adorned with union flags, the cross of St George, and a painted portrait of himself as a knight, along with a large knuckle duster.
Courtney has been involved in various illegal activities, including debt collecting, club security, assault, smuggling, and murder. He claims to have spent time in Belmarsh Prison as a high-security inmate, a claim supported by ex-prison guard Jim Dawkins in his book The Loose Screw.

Courtney, an accomplished author, has successfully published six books: “Stop The Ride I Want to Get Off,” “Raving Lunacy,” “Dodgy Dave’s Little Black Book,” “The Ride’s Back On,” “F**k the Ride,” and “Heroes & Villains.”
In addition to his writing career, Courtney has ventured into the world of film. He not only starred in but also produced his own film, “Hell To Pay.” Furthermore, he took on the leading role of Mad Dave in the low-budget British film “Triads, Yardies and Onion Bhajees,” alongside Manish Patel.
While television documentaries and personal appearances have been a significant source of income for Courtney, he has also been actively involved in various other endeavors. He managed his own website, engaged in charity work, and contributed to the films “Six Bend Trap” and “Clubbing To Death,” working alongside Craig Charles and Nick Moran.
Courtney’s collaboration with Director Liam Galvin has resulted in the creation of two DVDs: “Dave Courtney’s Dodgy DVD” and “Dave Courtney Even Dodgier,” both released by Gangster Videos. Their partnership continued with the films “Killer Bitch” in 2010 and “Mob Handed” in 2016. In 2020, Courtney made an appearance in the film “Mother’s Child” as the club owner, Mr. Townsend. He shared the screen with Alex Reid, Swaylee Loughnane, and Lee Westwick. This film, titled “Mother’s Child,” was released worldwide on various platforms, including Amazon Prime, DVD, and Blu Ray.
