I wont have nothing bad said about them, they both saved my life one night. After they both set about me for not offering to buy them a drink, they beat the shit out of me and used blades to cut me, after they'd finished they got one of there men to wrap me up in a carpet and dropped me outside the london hospital, when i eventually came out of a coma I was told by the doctor if I never got to hospital when i did I would of died.
Both gentlemen.
That is such a moving story.
@dylhemsley9458 Yes I agree, I've brought many men to tears with this story, you probably had a few tears in your eyes reading it. They were great guys, hearts of gold, wouldn't hurt a fly and loved their mother, they hated having to dish out violence, but it was only against the people that deserved it, like myself, we needed to be taught a lesson for our own sakes.
'Would OF died....' Clearly whoever wrote this illiterate nonsense isn't a MENSA member.
What the fuck is this shit 😂😂😂😂
Keep up the good work mate, smashing it out the park
Cheers buddy
Met Albert when he had pub in Mile End, steely eyed but not a bully. He also had a spieler at Brick lane called Bugsys..frequented both fairly regularly.
Thives ponces is the correct term I believe.
Would have been an acid test trying out the Readings
Great video. Really Informative. Thanks.
It's great to watch your subs rise this is brilliant content very very well put together with a solid delivery filled with facts that's how it's done .
God bless you my friend with mercy and peace health and happiness Amen
💫✝️✨
Thanks mate
The irony of a gangster actually called "Maffia" and he is done in
Albert Reading never got battered with baseball bats nor did he ever have a broken leg or arm.
Yes first I've heard of it and no one had Baseball bats in the 60s anyway😂
Albert reading in that era pound for pound hardest man to come outta east London
@@TheRagBagcorrect….rounders bats yes……baseball bats….no way
@@LG-cm3ib👍🏻
@TheRagBag Are you kidding? I had a Louiville slugger back in 64 right bat
I was in the widows public house when the twins dished out that beating to the readings,it was in the tap room of the widows because it was wassle newmans 70th birthday and I was sat there with Jack spot,billy hill,dodger Mullins,Limehouse Willie ,Freddy foreman,Jack the hat, Leslie Payne,mad frank Fraser,Ronnie knight,Jack the ripper,Chas and Dave,ginger bob from Bermondsey and all the Watney st gang,great times……
You forgot me
@@darrenmall7963 and big daz mall….
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was Ronnie Pickering not there?
@@user-mi6wi8fr3u he was in the shovel for beating up 50 geezers in a road rage incident
There is footage of Reg warmly shaking Albert's hand at Ron's funeral. Not saying this beating didn't take place but the mutual respect visible between Reg and Albert says differently.
I am highly sceptical based on what I knew of the Readings at that time. There were a few people who simply could not be controlled by anyone, even for profits and the Readings were one of them. Anti authority didn’t capture how they felt about “bosses”, it was a deep hatred of bullies, if you want my sixpence.
Albert and Bobby reading would have smashed the Krays in a straightener.
great information
Another great video mate found this really interesting, could you do a video on scouse norman johnson or this buller ward chap if that's possible
Yes mate will.do buller ward and scouse morman
@@enquirer2.0 thanks pal
Judas Pig is a fantastic book true or not.I actually thought it was fiction when I first read it and then TH-cam came along.I am surprised it hasn't been made into a film? but hey we have yet another rise of the foot soldier on the way!!!!
Find that hard to believe
Hope you're well mate. I can't imagine Albert Reading taking that, lol
My good pal Jimmy is Alberts nephew, he'll know the full story.
Always interesting mate .
Nice one 👊🥊
Cheers Matt yes mate be good if jimmy can give you the truth behind it 👊
Always remember my dad mentioning Alberts name as a kid as my dad wasn’t no pushover who could look after his self if push come to shove, so I do believe even today that Albert reading was a force on he’s own who was a gentleman and no bully but if you cross him you will pay in some way, and probably in them days a good hiding or end up in a brown box, luckily enough I had my life with my dad who see 80 years of age and passed away 14 yr ago but he had a story to tell about gangsters , mushes, villains , or what ever you wanted to call them as my father grew up with these cronies and if you don’t take liberties you can be friends with who ever the name maybe, but I do believe Albert was a name face not to fuck with. Shame all the old school are gone now and as a 58 yr old I feel like we are the older generation .
name as a ki
My dad knew Bobby, he says Bobby was a very good fighter, my dad says Bobby was one of the guvnors of the East end, my dad also said the twins both liked little boys
They where definitely both gay. Reg didn’t consummate his marriage so I’d say they both did .
They sure liked the chocolate box. .!!
😮
😅
@@stephenpope1988they probably liked each others chocolate box too!. Incestual fudge packing, at its finest
This was very good 👏👏👏👏
Alfie G surley has to be done 👀/ that other lump in the photo with Alfie
Thanks mate
I would be wary of the highly fictional account of ‘Judas Pig’. I knew Uncle El well, as a kid and admired him: hated in injustice and bullying, with a keen intellect. There’s is no way, particularly in his youthful pomp, that he and his brothers could have been done by apparitions the Krays sent. Thats malarkey at its most silly.
I grew up in a block of flats, by the Bow flyover in the early 1970’s and many of the children I went to school with had parents in the business. Let me tell you that as much as that lifestyle is glamorised, if you had to live it, you would hate it. Doing bad things affects you. Means that no matter how many duvets your piled under, your still freezing cold.
Albert Reading always reminded a little bit of Harry Starbuck in that when he ran the Horn of Plenty in Stepney he was a very respectful approachable charismatic guy though extremely nasty if crossed , i always thought his brother Bobby was the better fighter of the two...neither of them are alive ..Bobby Reading died about 10 years ago (perhaps more) and Albert was ill with a neurological disease (Parkinsons?) before he passed RIP
Spot on
Albert was more calculated and
Bobby was more wild He would go knuckles in first
Albert would make sure it was on his terms.
Both was hard as nails
Used to do business with Bobby would meet him in the boozer H.O.P next to Mile End Station..always respectful..found Albert to be a bit of a wanna be but he knew he was limited as i was related to Bill the Bomb a man almost everyone knew and not one to mess with. Albert had an altercation in the Ordanance Arms in Canning Town this is where i think people may hay have thought he got his arm broke in-fact he was stabbed in the arm and kicked senseless outside only to save by the Guv.nor Big J.Murphy of the Royal Oak Pub almost opposite where in later yrs Terry Lawless would open his gym above it..😊
@@SE16Proud How times have changed.
@@SE16Proud just one thing mate the Horn of Plenty is in Globe Road which is next to Stepney Green Tube Station not Mile End
@@SE16Proud is that when they rebuilt it? because the pub/restaurant that is there now isn't the pub that was there when i was growing up there ...i bought an office in the Bow Conservation Area in 2005 and the building by the station was definitely different and was called Zains? it was a pub/restaurant
No way the krays went near the Readings. The Krays would have taken a beating
The two of them were evil. Period.
What part of America do you think they were from?!?! Period???
@@davejones2823 they were from London smart ass.
ive listened to albert reading and he never said a word about the krays doing him and his brother over
Judas pig is mostly fiction and the krays and readings were friends
Never even heard of the krays
Albert and the krays were friends. Albert was also good friend wiith Charlie Kray.
The Krays were in with the Nashes and Joey Pyle too
both you mentioned are the elites of organisationed crime Krays knew there place!!
If Albert weren’t scared of bill the bomb, Charlie and Eddie Richardson and people like that I’m not having that he would have let that slide .
I’ve never even heard him speak about the krays in any interviews
Why do you think people don't speak about psychopathic murders who they know? Who attacked them? Mmmmm I wonder why?
If you watch footage of Ron krays funeral you will see they way Reg embraces Albert and the absolute respect he gets from all there. Albert was a seriously feared man make no mistake.
Don't believe that about the krays doing the readings..
Bullet was a naughty naughty man
He got slashed up badly as well but a feared man. Read his book 🙏🏾
Pretty sure Bobby is st alive, might be worth asking for his side.? Saying that, none of these ex gangsters like to stick to the truth if the truth makes them look bad. Enjoyed the video tho thank you 👍
Cheers mate
Bobby sadly passed away a couple of years ago,Albert a few months ago.
Bobby was a good family man,I knew the family growing up etc
Mad that init I used to think my uncle was chatting shit when he said he first went to mans jail at 11
Having read Judas Pig and using common sense..it’s a great read but filled with a lot of bollocks. Examples being:
* Holmes with his crew beat up a off duty coppers rugby team in a London club including stabbing them broken glasses.
* Killing a whole South London crew in their headquarters.
* burning alive a black guy in a field after torturing him for 7 days.
* running over a copper and then throwing acid in his face
Point is, underworld is obviously violent and deadly, but certain crimes are so deadly that would have ended up in almost immediate arrest and made the news
immediate arrests without mobile data, widespread CCTVs and willing witnesses is probably quite hard
@@gordondenilson2666 right so if an off duty copper approached Jimmy Holmes in a pub and advised him he should leave the area (as per his book)..and Holmes and his gang proceeded to fight and stab one of the other coppers who was also there with a glass…you don’t think he would have been pulled in for it? 😂
@its_rick_james_bich2575
Thats it alot of kray bashing now days,they were just a pair of puffs,they got ran out of town,so and so told em to fuk off all this sort of stuff but it was diffrent back in the day,had good fighters and big grown men running round after em,they were definetly feard thats for sure they knew how to use violence and fear to there advantantage.
They weren't gay.They were monsters.they were known as ponces of thieves.Billy Hill always said he hated the white family/alf for the same reason. There's no honour just criminal activity and the powerful rule until they don't.
Can’t imagine Bobby and Albert standing that
Me neither
What you not taking into account is the krays was the top firm at the time the reading brothers were much younger krays in there 30s reading brothers were around 20
I’m pretty sure that Albert was born 1932 that would make him slightly older than the Kray twins who were born in 1933. Anyway I very much doubt if this actually happened Albert could fight with his fists just as good as the Krays. And I’ve never heard the story before by anyone until now.@@sachasacha5930
Is judas pig a good read ie a very good book like the type you cant put down?
Yes mate
Brilliant
I had a copy of The Charity Committee which was a better read than Judas Pig, but have lost it. Gutted, it has since been withdrawn by the publisher.
DH got it banned apparently because it uses real names. Personally I found it a bit boring compared to Judas Pig.
Decca?
@jamiewilson5679 haha no not Decca, he's innocent of that.
I have an e copy of it if you want it mate
@@willar7 Please
Don't believe it whatsoever. I read dozens of books about the readings krays etc never heard this crap before!!😁
The krays didnt go to canning town or custom house to try and blag money or protection money. They would of come second.
'They would OF come.........' Lmao. Someone who's intelligent and not trash writes 'would'VE,'.
@@heiltd1286they’d also put a comma in the right place.
@@JTPF7604 Obviously I know there's no comma there. I typed it in error. The person writing 'would OF' didn't type an error. They really think that's good English and it makes sense.
Ronnie Pickering would have knocked the Krays spark out.
Reggie pickering was even worse.
Ronnie Pickering couldn’t knock a fart out 😊
@@johnkemp4922 I would bet he would knock you out plum
That's very funny lol
Lmfao
Great video mate . The same Krays were very wary of the Richardson gang ? Who arguably were far more powerful? And Freddy Foreman was not afraid of them ?
They were bullies though full stop .
Freddie Foreman the little penfold looking mug was the 60s dave courtney. The Richardsons were the real mob
@@StuartAnderson-xl4bo okay Eddie if you say so and thanks for that yeah thanks
Freddie Forman wasn't afraid of them? Why would he take out poor Frank Mitchell for them and risk life in prison?
@jimmygray4072 you're welcome princess now sit down.
@@StuartAnderson-xl4bo are you joking?? Him and Alfie Gerrard were the most feared and prolific hitmen of the 60s! His nicknames Brown Bread Fred and the Undertaker should give you a clue! More dangerous than anyone, they feared no one (couple more geezers in the firm those two were hit guys) but the Richardsons were more powerful in the way of resources, financially and more sophisticated.
Jimmy Holmes is likely to know the score if anyone is.
All a bunch of thugs .well respected gangsters wtf .
I know someone who spoke to Limehouse Willy, when he was alive at the Chequers pub in Walthamstow he said that in Hoe Street Walthamstow they had a gambling club, and they used walk up and down or get people to walk up and down the market to tax all the legitimate stall holders and if they couldn’t pay they would end up shutting up shop and leaving as they was so afraid he said thet was no good don’t think many people would have known them better than Limehouse Willy he was one of there first minders.
Limehouse Willy run the Stow Club for the Krays in Walthamstow Market NOT the Chequers pub..there was rooms above that pub which was used as a meeting place same as the Cock Tavern...the stall holders were being taxed by Eric Horse aka Eric Horst he would walk up the market from Coppermill Lane..the stall holders had to put a 10 shilling note in the brown leather open case he held he.d walk back down..then go into the Stow Club one saturday he refused to pay his bill and a fight ensued with Willy Eric cut n slashed his face...he was being looked for when he found in the Crooked Billet he was a big man and very game he decked big Tommy the Bear Brown but was overcome by big Albert and the 2 Tony n Chris brothers.plus Reg used a tool and Eric was left seriousely injured it was the end of his reign in Walthamstow and would stick to drinking in the Tatler Cinema and the Bell Pub Hoe St before moving over to Tottenham...😊
@@SE16Proud yes Willy was drinking in the Chequers I meant he mentioned the club this was late 90s there was a big function room upstairs, there a lady called Sue who worked there she said she worked at the club when she was 16.
This Eric guy was tough then, what did the Krays take over his action ? was quite away from their manor.
Do remember someone called Jimmy Newman ?
he was very old then in the late 90s she told me he was tough.
I believe she said that Jimmy Nash used to get in there this was 98-99 I can’t remember if she said the Teale brothers
So that is why Limehouse Willy had the massive mars bar then
Eny chance of seeing something about Bobby Snowden from carlisle who apparently put the krays out of the 69 club in Newcastle only heard paddy conroy talking about it. 🤞🤞✌
Absolute bollock's I know Nobody and I.meen Nobody messed with Albert Complete Nonsense
Everyone on this earth has someone who stands up to them or gets better at least once , doesn’t make them any less of men
Christopher biggins did
These UK Mob Stories
Are Unbelievable
Yet you believe Trump's lies?...🤦♂️🤣
Jackanory
nonces
I ain't having that man Albert would have wiped the floor with then he weren't scared of no 1
Being scared of no one doesn’t make you beat them.
The readings and the krays were very different. Ronnie and reggie liked to fight. Both boxers but ronnie was on a different level mentally. Ronnie really was a phycopath on heavy medication for it. They had a large firm around them that made them almost untouchable. Bobby and albert were hard barstards. They loved a good fight but were both more into finishing a fight quick as poss. Albert was never worried to use his hands or a weapon. He was a one man wreaking ball. He always looked for a quick finish which made him very dangerous. Very different familys and ways of doing things. The readings were no match for the krays many numbers but the krays werent a match for them on their own. I just cant see albert letting it go if it did happen. He would have got revenge as he didnt let things like that go. Just my opinion.
Totally agree with you yamaha....I don't believe the story tho albeit as you eluded to wouldn't have let that go NO WAY ....
The Kray's tea was lukewarm at best, with today's choices I would just tell their mum to lift her game or find some other hobby.
when you doing more on Jasp ode?
We got loads of stuff coming up mate next one will be me n him chatting about chelsea away n chelsea coming in the away end and getting smashed. Then we're currently having the cctv of the fight from the court case never been seen b4 put onto digital which will be uploaded on jasps channel. We got loads coming from stoke , football scene, my prison stuff , podcast with guests in Stoke
Brilliant…looking forward to eet 💪🏻
0:42 i mates with a daughter of 2 brothers who where involved from isle of dogs❤️🇬🇧💯 0:42
Ive know doubt they done them no problem.EVERYBODY was petrified of them. But baseball bats in the 60s? No chance. The baseball bat retired the pickaxe handle.
I watch ur videos for a laugh.. you just copy other content and why are you talking about my manor and getting so many facts wrong… Krays could not ’summon’ the Readings anywhere.. Krays wouldn’t dare go near custom house Canning Town theyd get killed back then
Nonsense, they bought a hall there to run bingo and stuff, just the brothers who were supposed to run didn't fancy get to in with them, so back out.
Completely correct mate. I knew Uncle El well and whenever I asked him about past, I was a nipper mind, he used to smile slyly at the mention of the Krays. He had no fear of them anyone believing that story should ask why no pubs in Stratford, Canning and Silvertown ever pob for the Krays?
Albert Reading strikes me as one of those guys who, at some point in his life, has decided that he's taking a back seat from absolutely nobody! The reputation and everybody you hear speak of him backs that up! So I don't believe this.. but it's good click bait!
Nothing click bait about it peoole sleep on the krays as if they were nothing. They were the main guys in East London. I have many stories direct from people involved about the readings war with Johnny Davies and his mob. Albert's brother had his eye shot out in that one. Got some other mental stories of Albert when he was running a certain pub,crazy story. The Krays wud dish out punishment beatings to many hardmen who didn't toe the line. We only got jimmy holmes to verify this one but not beyond the realms
@@enquirer2.0 Appreciate the reply. Still struggle to see it. Albert's just too highly rated by too many people to be taking "punishment beatings" then falling into line. And probably not enough evidence to be playing with people's reputations. Personally, I'd have sought more evidence before running this one..
Reggie said he slashed bulla ward in the face and he had to get seventy stitches
Krays=thief's pounces
The gays
This is utter nonsense.
I was asking the question it was said in holmes book.Not saying it did or didnt
My grandad was the kray twins, he was al capone too
lies lies lies
Albert was a seriously dangerous man who had no fear of anyone.
I’ve seen an interview with him and he didn’t seem like he’d be the type to have suffered an attack at the hands of the krays
To be fair their legend is far greater than they were, those in the know describe them as big fish in a little pond, nothing really special, and as for mad frank was just a guy who’d take a weapon to guy who was tied to a chair and not a hard man at all…. Albert however was a truly chilling man, he’d have no problem to blind you with ammonia and kick your teeth down your throat.
Foreman however was a seriously dangerous man, he was one of the reason the Keats have the legend that they do, yet he never gets a mention in any of the movies, they always play the krays as the guys who did all the dangerous work which apparently wasn’t the case.
Foreman was the guy who would go and talk to ppl and collect monies etc as ppl were really more scared of him than either of the brothers.
Obviously I only know what I’ve heard and wasn’t even born until these guys were already behind bars, so it’s all conjecture, the Albert reading interview is fantastic.
So Ronnie Kray Wasent A Seriously Chilling Man Then? If You Say Mate Lol
Ask Charlie Bronson Who The Governor Was In Broadmoor While He There Cause It Wasent Charlie Bronson
@@davidfitzgerald5110 like anyone alive today even knew them in their time… the people who knew them are practically all dead, those that did all say without ppl like Foreman and others they wouldn’t have had the chance to reach the fake they did, all describe them big fish in a small pond.
I wasn’t even born before they were old and in jail and I’d wager neither were you.
As much as i like listening to these stories god knows how many are even true, and if they are, how exaggerated they are
Pmsfl it’s lies
dnt belive albert n bobby got done in they feard no one
Never happened
I see a few comments on here about,jango etc and that Bobby and Albert were friends etc..
I’m pretty sure folk lore has it,that Albert & Bobby fell out with bill the bomb over their niece,bill had took liberties at a family party or something,bill went for Albert and there was a shoot out??…Albert firing at bill who was rightly so on his toes…
Legend has it
In a pub I think that was. Think yammy mentioned that story 🤔 be good no more about it
Bit lost with this there is an interview with Albert Reading calling the krays all sorts and says he offered out the krays and Richardson brothers in prison claiming they all bottled it
Think he only mentioned the richardsons and fraser
Yeah and no one bottled it lol
that must have been when he said Frazer would get himself put in the block because he was craping 1 from other prisoners @@enquirer2.0
U can learn from krays do b stupid in the game u have to smart 👌 but yea I am same medicine az reg
Don’t believe this for 1 minute. Albert Reading was a very hard man, well known for it, NEVER heard of him getting an hiding off anyone, let alone the twins, and have never heard this story in any of the dozens of books I’ve got from all the main characters at the time, the twins, foreman, lambrianou brothers. Fraser, Ian Pearson’s famous book, Albert donoghue etc this story would be far more widely known if true.
No gangster is going to admit to getting a good hiding. However, Albert Reading said he wasn’t the biggest guy, so if caught in a hold his fighting ability was stifled.
Albert Reading Superman haaaa
Name one book (apart from Kate Krays) that bothers to mention Albert apart from Micky Fawcett who says he was a grass?
@@chopper8357 its being claimed albert was a high level informant named david hampshire, grassed about nick whiting and the epping couple
Reading got several hidings in the ring it's a known fact. Donahuge the grass?😂😂😂😂
look they wee all shit scared of the kray twins bk then as they were true killers
