Ronnie was only 4"11", Reggie was 5"7", it's amazing really, but people were much smaller years ago.
Years ago (mid 60s)I took a summer job in the fruitmarket. One of the drivers had a car reg in his cab on the windscreen with Big Harry on it. He was about 5'6" ![]() |

Reg was 5-7, and the better boxer, Ron was taller at 5-9. Reg had 7 official fights and won all 7, he beat Bill Sliney twice on points. Ron had 4 official fights, he lost two, and one of them was against Bill Sliney. |

Charlie Kray paid for the Rolls Royce for my old boss's daughters wedding, he got them a colour telly for a present, and paid for a hotel room for my old boss and his wife at the reception.
But he never turned up. Charlie was 5-9 and a welterweight, his record was 18 fights, 11 wins and 1 draw. |

Just think how much money Band Aid would have raised if they'd had proper musical artistes like Queenie Watts duetting with Charlie K, Reggie K on his psychedelic bagpipes, and Wilfred Hyde White simultaneously on harmonica AND drums, all nicely backed by top drink-driver Jack Parnell and his orchestra.
Poor old Midge Geldof must be crying to himself having to work with the lightweights of the current musical industry. |

I bet The Stoned Roses wished they had selected that above supergroup to support them at Spike Island, rather than the rancid DJs that bored the crowd senseless on that dire day.

Wasn't Frankie married to Queenie Watts once?

We've done that bit already. Do keep up Percy.

Years ago I used to work with a proper geezer from Southampton Row who was very much like Big Vern. He had known Bertie Smalls' family, and as a saucepan had run supplies to Bertie's hideaway. Blimey if they'd facking caught the scrote they'd have cut him open like a gudgeon and no mistaking guvnor.
He's living in Spain now (surprise), and when I saw Brick Top for the first time I thought it was him! Do you know what a Nemesis is? . ![]() PS thanks for the kind words Slips ![]() |

Liz Fraser was great. Wonder what happened to her.

Blonde, busty actress who appeared in so many British films in 60s and 70s. Is she still alive?? Must be in her 70s now at the least?? Think she was a Londoner.

Joe Frazier was a great boxer ,the fact that Frankie Fraser shares the first 3 letters of his surname is just about the only good thing that can be said about him.

She's still alive at 84 and looks lovely , wasn't she married to James Robertson-justice .?

Mr Fraser was the best dentist never to qualify as a dentist. Admittedly he never used any form of anaesthesia, but that just added to the charm- and the pain of course!
I hope this snippet of information adds to the interest raised on this thread. |

Yes, this thread could serve as the script too.. |

What's really needed today is for a man of the magnitude of Danny Dyer to appear on all channels making a statesmanlike speech that will offer some comfort to our nation in this our hour of grief.

Described himself as "a bit of a rascal" which is a popular expression used by various scumbags who are a blight on society. And of course he never harmed anyone who didn't deserve it.

He got shot in the head coming out of Turnmills club in EC1 in the early 90's. A week before that I'd been in Turnmills trying to sell the manager something and was introduced to the scariest looking bloke I've ever seen. I decided not to bother trying to close the sale and hoped they didn't ring me.
