2. Billy Billingham MBE: Street Fights, SAS: Who Dares Wins, Armed Combat and ‘Brangelina’
Billy served over 20 years in the SAS having joined the Parachute Regiment at the age of 17. His life before joining the military was very different to his life afterwards. A criminal record, gang involvement and a close shave with death after being stabbed were replaced with discipline and respect.
