Publisher's Synopsis

This is the amazing saga of The Staffordshire Two!
Against all the odds, a duo of Staffordshire's finest sons, Micky O'Rourke and Elgin Hounds - underdogs from humble beginnings, destined to fail or go through the motions from cradle to grave, somehow rose to the zenith of business success through hard work, determination, street wise acumen, a happy go lucky attitude and sheer bloody mindedness. Always joking and smiling in tandem or on one-man missions to glory and God-given fortune, there was never a doubt or dull moment when Lady Luck went 'AWOL' - as she did frequently. Countless times they both climbed back off the floor to regain their rightful status on the upper echelons of the blessed dolce vita.

One can never look at the Midlands in the same way ever again. They both thrived through innovation, perspiration, painful mutation and an all-conquering resolve to be first again and again. 'Second' was not in their vocabulary. Second was for cissies - it was simply not in their psyche. Winning was everything. Rules and regulations bent in the breeze, conformity discarded. 'It can't be done' was banned, because when the going got tough, the tough got going.

The rewards were amazing; a string of racehorses, multiple properties, top of the range motors and exotic holidays. What really floated their boat though, was pure and simple empire-building. They both loved nothing more than watching an acorn growing into a great oak tree, because with that came all the rewards. Hopefully reading this true story will push some young entrepreneurs onto the road to riches.
