    You can’t beat old school gangsters. I met Ronnie when I was working undercover. Not on the Charley Kray job but a bank Job he and others were planning. Ronnie and his mates were proper Gents and good company. I will buy his book. Joey Pyle was a legend around Carshalton and Sutton. Good luck for the future. Another great interview James xx

    Done a bit in Leeds? Did Ronnie know Ray Callaghan AKA Harry O who also did safes and a lot more. The story that Roy Chubby Brown told about the true old villains from Leeds who blew the tree up as a joke was a real story, he was one of the old villains and it was him who got the gelly to blow up the tree. He told me the true story which was even better than Chubby's version and no wonder he was half deaf. He was a villain since the war years and was well-known, a real character and was a really good close friend of mine. RIP auld Ray as we called him and very well respected.

    Can't help but like my fellow South Londoner.I like his humour and his wise chuckles.
    Don't agree that 99% of Men want to be gangsters even though I grew up next to the largest Council Estate in Northern Europe at the time and yet in my 29 years there and 41 further years,11 miles away,I me or my Grammar Schools mates and most Men I have met in my 70 years have no desire at all to get involved however fascinating we found it. There does appear a common theme where there has been abuse in their childhood or from a chaotic background. I would love to chat and listen to him while walking my 6 dogs:)

The screws had the governor and medical staff and so on thinking he was going nuts again. When they asked him what the voices were saying he replied "RECOUNT!". Referring to after getting out your cell for dinner they could never get the numbers right and you had to be dubbed up again whilst they did a recount. Am still pissing masself now thinking of it.
