In the autobiography of “My Redemption”, Troy Dini narrates the tragic moments he experienced near his father, emphasizing that he had threatened him and his mother.
In fact, the 33-year-old Dini (former Watford captain and now Birmingham player) said that his father did not hesitate to lock in the trunk of his car dealer, who owed money to a friend.
“Some of his friends made millions from the crimes, but he was not interested in money.
He had no money. He liked going to a pub and hitting people to be asked to drink. It scared people.
He liked to create fear. He liked to go somewhere and say to someone “Damn, I’m Burke”.
He carried this savagery to his home and family. “I will kill your mother,” he would tell me. And then he told us he was going to kill me and my brothers.
He had come at some point to pick me up for a workout in a blue Mercedes and he didn’t even have a driver’s license.
Suddenly we stopped at a gas station and I started to hear noises from the trunk. And he told me that he had locked up a drug dealer who owed money to a friend.
“He told me that he would treat him well and that he would still feed him”, Dini characteristically states in his autobiography.
