Apologies I wrote Eddie Thomas under picture 3 that is a mistake it's Eddie Johnson owner of Two Puddings Stratford 🙏
i worked in London in the 70,s and 80,s and from what i was told many times Albert Reading was the Main Man that Nobody Messed With
Micky Fawcett is a man who is very aware of his surroundings. In every photo, no matter how drunk the company and occasion he is aware of who is taking the photo and when.
There is one photo where he isn't looking at the camera but everybody else is. It turns out he'd sensed a commotion between Dolly and Charlie Kray, occuring out of shot, which had got his attention
Mr Reading was a gentleman first but if you pushed your luck or took a liberty you was in trouble very well respected all over the country including Scotland RIP ALBERT READING!%%%
Anyone who messed with Bert Reading later regretted it.
Another banger from the best Chanel pod cast on social media
Check out the darkness underneath podcast about the Demeo crew, the detail in it is unreal
Just goes to show that there are a lot of very dangerous little firms about and not all household names. " I see crazy people, they're everywhere and some of them talk to me "
So true mate
This shows that some of the toughest people out there never looked for publicity
Different class of people even the way they were dressed, most of them were genuinely tough men who'd make mincemeat of the shitbags terrorising London today
Reading was a pure force of nature, middleweight well under 6ft, dispelling myths about the size of a geezer
One of my dads cousins worked on Newham council doing windows he worked in Albert Readings flat he and used say you got to keep fit some days he would be doing pull ups on a bar pounding a heavy bag really hard and other days was rough and couldn’t get out of bed.

“A coffee on me “
That's very kind of you and I really appreciate the insight I try and find the interesting nuggets in books or archives. Much respect 🙏
Thanks
Your welcome Jane 🙏
Once again, great upload! I'm still playing catch-up on your videos to support your channel, Ben. All the best, fella!👊🥊👍💯
I enjoyed that bro thanks for your time and work
Pleasure mate thanks for the kind comment
This guy turns out some brilliant stuff. Only just started watching his channel so got loads to catch up with😄😄 great stuff.lol
Simply the best Ben...have a good weekend my man
Fawcett said Bobby Reading grassed everyone up but I find that unlikely all these old school villains seem to accuse each other of that.
Johnny Davies was sacked from the firm,for cutting a Carter wasn’t it cause he was friends with Foreman I think so ultimately sacked for being too violent I bet he would have had trouble being told what to do by the Krays .
I read Krazy Days it’s great book as well as the Krays era that Tibbs war bombs etc was madness I would give it 10/10 for that genre.
I read on a blog Johnny Davies had died maybe 10 years or more ago
I knew jonnie from the essex arms back in the day and I don't think he would of been worried about the twins. He could of called all the old faces from custom house and canning town for help and I can guarantee there only been 1 winner and it wouldn't of been the twins.
Jonny once pulled me to one side in the essex when I was buying everyone drinks after a little touch I had ( I was 16 or 17 l)he said stop spending your money son they will never say no and then want to find out what you do then call the police 🚨 😂 and said
When boys have money they think there men and when there skint there boys again.
Winked and said trust no one and keep you money in your pocket.
@@108.London I wonder why he was on the firm for a while I wonder if it was the prestige?
Everyone who seemed to get close to the Krays seem to lose respect for them
@@seanmwh who knows mate.
"Albert Reading was a top level and high grade police informant whose pseudonym was David Hampshire.
He gave the Met police significant information and intelligence over a sustained period.
That included information given shortly after the kidnapping of Nick Whiting and his subsequent murder. He named those who had kidnapped Whiting and specific details about the motive, his torture and killing.
His police handler passed that information at the time onto Essex police, believing that Rainham Marsh (the site of the murder), was on Essex ground.
Essex police never passed the information on. The Kent Murder Squad were never aware of this information, and still do not know to this day as they have ignored all attempts to pass it on.
Essex police and Kent police share the same murder teams and the head of their ‘cold case’ review teams was a senior Essex officer directly involved in the Rettendon Murder enquiry and linked corruption investigation (Operation Apache).
The story of the murders of Terry Gooderham and Maxine Arnold is another ‘can of worms’ which is also soon to emerge"
@@bobmathews9072 is it possible he was doing it for the right reasons as in criminals going to far maybe because he did one hell of a lot of porridge it’s hard to believe he was shopping people on regular basis to keep himself from jail.
Frankie Fraser did say that of him on his website when he was around.
I was in London in the 90s and worked with a south london face called Ronnie Hives he was an old fella by then and well mellowed but great talking to him bout the old days Thats one of the many memories i talk back home to NZ i love london
Great story, a few names I hadn’t heard of here. Encore, encore!👍
Thankyou mate 👍 💙
stephen did your family come from upton park i knew a gorge
Johnny Davis used to have the Nightingale Pub in Wanstead in the 70s 80s and he lived in Herman Hill Wanstead. 💥
Interesting fact. The Dixons are Craig Fairbrass’ uncles.
I think it was Martin & Tony who owned the Peacock gym, not certain though
Best about in this true crime game mate
Another belta upload mate :)
The Two Puddings if I recall had a picture of Ronnie Kray and Roy Hall above the entrance.
Quality 👍
Brilliant
Out all the videos I've watched of gangsters and I've watched load Albert reading as soon as I heard him I knew he was the real deal you get an aura off people but his eyes were ice cold
Cockle eye Albert 😂
Albert's brother Bobby had 1 eye
I @@108.LondonI watched it again. You're right it was Bobby 👍
The bennets my old folk..
Respect mate
Another top vid 👍
Eddie Johnson’s book about the two puddings is a good read comes across a real publican rather than a violent man as portrayed here
You sound like the kinda guy I’d love to have a pint with, the stories you could tell I could listen to you all night, was that pretty boy Shaw you mentioned? Sounds like Glasgow on any given night 😂😂😂
Thankyou mate very kind. I like a pint aswell 😂 Yes mate Roy was there in the Hammer
He reads it out a book he knows nothing
Glasgow in 60s 70s 80s was wild in pubs gangs from different gangs in different pubs plotting to meet at the 4 corners lol good way to get slashed earhole too arsehole lol got cheek on about London and knife crime remember knife amnesty lol could've started a scrapyard lol then there was idiot walked into a Glasgow police station and tried to hand in a rocket launcher and cpl spares too fire and box mortar bombs lol police evacuated everyone out station till bomb squad took them away lol only in glesga ffs
@@elaineplatt8707 he knows the people who’s books he’s reading hence gets permission,
Mr Hegarty a friend of Mr D?

readings lot were naughty!
I'd say in there prime they were a proper force. Albert and Bobby reading alan castlle Roy Lane jacko Payne. 5 men who could march on and not 1 liberty taker between them.
@@108.London good reply on their firm!
😊@@108.London
⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
Alan castile had a ruck with Paul Edmunds and they fought for 25 mins. Pippy and porky Bennett both very hard men. Queens Road market had a few big firms
Fatty gray was a good guy and raised lots of money for west ham boxing club. Jonnie Davis had the essex arms on Silvertown way that later become the peacock owned by the same brothers who own the famous gym
Great info mate is that the paul edumunds who was killed by TA
@@enquirer2.0 yes mate in the sultan Grange Road
Alan Castille if it’s the same one appeared on Hard Bastards the Kate Kray programme with Albert Reading.
Was this Hammers Club in West India Quay/ Westferry ?
@@seanmwh I think it was the hammers pub in East ham but not 100 % sure. Yes cassy was on that show him albert Bobby Roy and jacko all big buddies.
@@108.London I initially thought that but was told there was a now demolished club called the Hammers club over the Isle of Dogs.
Because the Hammers pub was the Red lion then and it was just a pub it’s actually changed back that name now the Red lion
Look into the pannetts . 10 brothers Orpington
Thanks mate will do. If you can give me more of an insight send to contact@enquirermedia.co.uk
Never forget, these people were winners....in a world of losers.
Thanks
