I've just listened to the latest podcast in the 'Gangsters' series on BBC Sounds. It's not as riveting at the John Palmer or Paul Massey podcasts but it's chilling to be reminded just how out of control Brum was back then. It makes you wonder just how bad things would have been allowed to get if they hadn't have cocked-up and murdered 2 innocent girls.
I never knew that Rob Rinder successfully defended one of the Johnson crew either.
It certainly makes the days of football hoolies smashing shopping centres up on Saturday afternoons seem fairly tame.
