Johnny talks about some of the biggest players and lively punters in the betting ring back in the day, remembers his great friend and mentor Leslie Woods who helped him immensely and a request for a commission bet that cost the bookies a nice few quid.

You've got to go back to this gentleman and get some more wonderful stories, five parts are not enough.

Entertaining but a bit of poetic licence. Carson from Stirling not Glasgow. Nashwan was viewed a late developer in spring of 1989 with Prince of Dance the Hern derby horse then until Nashwan's legendary pre guineas gallop
