He was very well known and if he went into a pub ( assuming he wasn't barred ) a huge cheer would go up from the pubgoers, he was a minor celebrity around here..
Do you remember the other notable character known as 'Snake Face' ? He had a tattoo of a Cobra that coiled round his neck a couple of times and ended with it's head on his left cheek. The police knew him very well but, when caught up to no good, he always said 'Not me, Gov' (perhaps not so politely) and accused witnesses of lying or being mistaken in identifying him - as if there could be more than one with that tattoo!!
I wonder where they are now.
