Garry Rogers played a key role in one of the UK's most successful
undercover policing operations, targeting the football hooliganism
which blighted the domestic and international game. From Old
Trafford to Turkey and Sweden to Sardinia, this working class lad
turned undercover cop infiltrated some of the most notorious
hooligan gangs at club and England level as part of Greater
Manchester Police's ground-breaking Omega Unit. When the force
extended its undercover policing operations to target serious and
violent crime, it was Garry who gained the trust of armed robbers,
drug dealers and a murderer securing the evidence to take them off
the streets, often for many years. But after five years at the
cutting edge of covert operations, and with a new, inexperienced
and ultimately corrupt officer in charge of the unit, Garry found
himself dangerously exposed to violent criminals living just
minutes from his family home. And when he turned to the force for
support he was met with a wall of silence, accusations, and what
one chief constable later described as a Masonic conspiracy that
eventually pushed him out of the job after 28 years. Now he's
determined to tell his story - the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.
