When a dead body was dumped a short distance from his Rotherhithe pub in October 1967, Freddie Brown Bread Fred Foreman had no qualms about what needed to be done.
Dave Courtney, who has died aged 64, was a nightclub bouncer, knuckle-duster wielding debt collector and latter-day henchman of the Kray brothers; he was nicknamed “Yellow Pages” for his gangland connections – until he decided to adopt the persona of media-friendly mobster, publishing a best-selling true crime memoir and making a living from television documentaries, films and speaking engagements, while also raising money for charity.
Chris Lambrianouy, a former Kray henchman, has set up a charity to help children stay away from crime
A former Kray henchman and Britain’s one-time most wanted armed robber have joined forces with an ex-detective to coax youngsters away from crime.
Chris Lambrianou, one of Ronnie and Reggie Kray’s most feared gang members, has teamed up with Terry Ellis, who spent nearly nine years in jail after a spate of multi-million pound heists, and retired Metropolitan Police officer Jon Wedger.
The three of them help run Changing Lives, a charity which strives to divert young people away from crime by mentoring them and working with them to find work.
