Brian Cockerill was once a brutal gangland enforcer who climbed the criminal ladder taxing drug dealers for fun. A 6ft 3, 24 stone, he was a man mountain with the freakish strength of a gorilla who fought some of the hardest men in England. But he started taking the drugs he was taxing, which led to years of addiction, depression and anxiety that cost him everything he had but his home. The 'Taxman' who had made thousands ended up broke and a recluse.

Brian finally started to turn his life around in 2019 and now educates young people on the importance of how not to live a life of crime. The Resurrection of Brian Cockerill is a hard-hitting, brutally truthful story of regret and repentance, including Brian's journey out of the darkness and into the light.
