The Late Show...With Your Host, Cena

Any idea what £2.6m from 1963 is worth now if you know what I mean ?

Most of the money was recovered I believe.....the rest was squandered on false passports, transport and facelifts........... Notorious South London Gangster Freddie Foreman actually put Bruce Reynolds and his wife up at a secret address for a short while at Fred's expense......... Bruce never settled that debt which Fred remembered as an insult to his dying day...apparently.

Freddie Foreman and Buster Edwards were very big freinds ...... Buster hung himself and Fred was out of Prison on license....one condition was that he never attended Busters funeral.........Fred stood with the crowds at Waterloo where Buster had his flower stall.

I don't claim to be some expert on The Kray Era but I have read planty enough to hold my own in a debate about them. Sadistic pair they were too.
