    Hahaha that's * mental. To be fair though I don't blame him for trying that. Aye I remember him telling a story about a boxer who had heard of Norvall and fancied a pop. So they went outside and started fighting, eventually Norvall got on top of him and pulled out a blade and tried to stab his eyes out. Then later on the guy and his mates were in a pub waiting for him, so he went up and attacked the 3 of them and ended up getting done for attempted murder.

    Interesting blokes. Really enjoyed reading about them. I liked the 1990s movie and really enjoyed Legend. One thing for sure about the Krays is they were * fearless. Very handy guys as well, pro boxers in their youth. I think they only got the sentences they did to make an example of them. All they did was murder other gangsters. These days you would be out 15 years or so. Good behaviour and all that.

    Was his nickname the iceman? He got stabbed to death in a pub while a rugby match was on. Either that or I'm getting mixed up with another of Tam McGraw's men, Gordon Ross. He got stabbed to death in a pub as well I'm sure.

    Aye. Reason I liked watching him was he came across well and not a bully..

    Mostly I agree as see below. Probably Britain's most well known gangster's. Essex boy's etc who have programmes and film's in abundance never off the telly. Tam McGraw etc etc. All different kindsa levels but scum bag's and mostly grasses..

    Well known nonces and bullies..

    Yeah, as a kid I used to read up whatever I could on the Krays. Mostly glorified *. Was only as I got older and started reading up more I found they were two *. Bullying * and as you say abusing young lads. The Richardsons seemed to have more of a steady hand in North London I think. But as you say nearly all grasses. That baldy * Courtney is one slimey * not to be trusted. Never gets time but bigs it up. Tells you everything.

    As has been said. It would be best advised not to talk out of school in here. Talking about old timers and well documented people is different. :50:

    I went with a lassie in my late teens who's da supposedly worked with them. I seen him frail sitting with an oxygen mask in the house but he did show me old photos of him massive in between the 2 brother's so he probably did. Never asked him a thing about what they were like though..

    Think they were scared of the Richardsons who ran South East London mainly..

    Courtney is a fraud and a liar and a well known shitebag..

    Quite a few families still on the go. Well known North London family still getting banged up recently. Always find it mad when you hear families running certain area's. Like this name runs that area :56: *. A family name where I grew up supposed to be this hard lot. Load of fannies. All old boy's sniffed up in their local couple pub's thinking they're the ticket. 2 of the younger brother's are known everywhere in London and the rest leech of the name and abuse it because of the 2 that actually have always done bit's and always been in and out the jail..

    Hardly a gangster but my 2nd cousin is stitch mckeever, its all been documented he and his mates killed a fella after getting paid by the wife, duno what hes doing now.

    The aul lad mcgregor roughed up a few weeks ago was the dad of the wig, supposed to be the most psycho hitman in Dublin, mcgregor already paid a million for his life apparently.

    McGregor went into a pub to beat up a young lad for some reason, the aul lad intervened and got a smack off him.

    Rumour being that they told him to pay up 900 grand or hes dead, just a rumour far as i know though ha

    Didn't know what it was about. The kinda thing that McGregor would come a cropper for..
