- The Kray Twins: Britain's Most Notorious Criminals | Myth Behind the Legend | FD Crime
Watch 'British Gangsters: Faces of the Underworld' here: • British Gangsters: Fac...
Ronnie and Reggie Kray remain two of the most infamous criminals in British history. Legends to many, their fame was built on a fearsome reputation and almost mythical celebrity-like status, but who were the real Kray twins?
Born and brought up in the East End of London, the Krays became involved in petty crime at a young age but their dark and violent temperaments soon became apparent when they were called up for National Service. Following a stint in prison, they eventually received dishonourable discharges and Ron and Reg became embroiled in all aspects of crime including armed robbery, protection rackets and assault.
The public, however, saw them as charming nightclub owners. Their Robin Hood-like reputations were a stark contrast to their real lives. On the surface, they were mixing with celebrities and Lords, being photographed by David Bailey and enjoying the thrills of the swinging sixties but behind closed doors they were leading sordid personal lives and orchestrating heinous crimes such as the ‘disappearance’ of Frank Mitchell and the brutal murders of Jack ‘The Hat’ McVitie and George Cornell.
Public opinion was split but how were the twins viewed by their contemporaries? This is the inside story of the Krays, told by the people who stood by their side for all those years.

I dont get why people like these thugs.
You can guarantee they would pick on anyone not just fellow thugs..
How do you work that out?
At 05:27 Frankie Fraser forgets to add, '... unless they had a business that could be extorted, then they were fair game'.
"She (their mother) spoiled them terribly." Around the oldest story in the book.
Ohhh the movie Legend with Tom Hardy (he plays both twins, his acting is incredible) is based on them, really good movie, i highly suggest watching!
The Krays with The Kemp brothers was a better film. Just saying.
What a FANTASTIC movie.
Yes👍 Tom Hardy 👍👍👍🔥
Original was well better totally agree....legend was over the top ...no way he said to the mafia "I like boys " 😂 utter nonsense
its a bit more than 'based on them'.
Violet Kray was a witch and the problem behind everything. She knew how to play for smiles.
I saw a part one or something to this and it was just as good ! Amazing bit of film work
"Paranoid schizophrenic walks into a bar".....
" you won't mind if I fight back will ya"
What's that ? A fkn rolling pin , u gunna bake me a cake
@@slyestfox935 what's your name, Fanny Craddock 😁
I don't have friends that require an eggshell path wherever we walk.
Ok?
Awesome video! Tom Hardy was great in the movie!!!
Ss,q]]k
"Frank Mitchell has never been seen since". No, really!
I can't help myself. I've got to do this, see if anyone gets it.
"Dinsdale...Dinsdale...DINSDALE!!"
Bernard mahoney was 9 years old when the krays were sentenced,was he really a friend of the krays?
His nobody’s friend pal his a police informant now making money pretending to be gangster Num 1
Ronnie was probably stuck up him
They did bird together mate. In Parkhurst
Edit: totally made that up. Just wanted to sound ‘Ard
The krays was working for the government lol that’s why the files are still being kept from us
😊😊@@HSEAUDITING
I don’t think they where revered maybe feared. And at the funeral people where curious!
Ronnie and Reggie would now be 90 years old born October 24, 1933.
I was thinking about that the other day. They would have been the same age as Michael Caine.
@@sallygthesallyg not alot of people know that!
Good documentation
This was absolutely fascinating. Being across the pond I had no idea about these guys. Entertaining, informative - Well done.

They're massively famous in the UK.
It always fascinates me how they ruled a gang of murderers and thugs mainly through fear.
You'd have thought some murdering thug they bullied would have just shot them both. They weren't like the mafia, the rest of the gang would have just gone home, not fought to avenge the death of their bosses.
And I doubt the police would have tried to hard to find the killer.
@@Bren688whatever lol … they were actually gay brothers that did incest …. Some ‘hard men’ they were 😂
There paedophiles
The movie The Kray Twins 1990 starring Billie Whitelaw is further insight if this documentary has whetted your interest it's also a very good watch.
Thank you for this in depth documentary coming from people who are honest and true it’s difficult to find respected people
Their were warning signs from the start why wasn’t action taken
All those life's lost all those life's that should have and could have been lived. Total total tragic
You dont need to put ads every couple of mins ffs
get ad blocker then ffs
@@alzajeb7270are you paying ffs?
@@lucytupper69 no
If ya not paying.. stop complaining. Those ads are how these creators sometimes get paid. Sit down.. suck it up. Little puffs
Raging poofsters, the two of them.
You have the perfect profile picture. No notes.
feds be watching this adding up the time
Also look up what statute of limitations are. That plus they are speaking about dead people.
Theres people in power in our country who are responsible for worse crimes,R.I.P. Reggie and Ronnie.
The funeral cars went past my place.
I’m hesitant to watch this because Tom Hardy as Reggie is the love of my life and I don’t want anything to ruin that for me 😂❤
Try watching him as 'handsome bob the queer in rocknrolla' he's brilliant but might just change your mind (probably not tho 😊)
He is really gorgeous as reggie tho ur right,👌
They had friends in high places - their influence went all the way to No 10 Downing Street. Tory Lord Bob Boothby and Labour MP Tom Driberg both went to the Krays' gay orgies. Harold Wilson helped cover it all up. They would have been jailed years before they were without the British establishment helping them. At their trial the British establishment decided the Krays had to be buried for good in order to protect themselves. That's why the Krays went down for such a long sentence, way out of line with sentencing policy of the time. Also, the "super grass" system was invented to convict them. So the judiciary and the whole criminal justice system was the corrupt tool of the British political establishment.
All i can hear in my head are the voices of the Pythons in the Piranha Brothers sketch.
DINSDALE!!
Didn't the narrator play one of the krays!! Bit contradictory saying miss guided kids still idolise the krays lol
These twins looked exactly the same. Especially the one.
What song is that in the end?
Feared is not revered!
Why do so many people refer to the kray twins as identical, they were not identical,
They were identical twins. Ronnie was just a bit stockier.
They were born as identical twins, and looked identical until their early 20's when Ron was put on strong anti psychotic medications which resulted in him gaining weight in turn this weight gain altered his looks.
The Public in general act as one conglomerate of idiocy .
Pure gangster!!!!100%!!!!saluti dall'Italia 🇮🇹nice video!
Bernard Baloney??
For that reason, I'm out.
Bernard baphoney 😂
No loyalty amongst crooks it seems!
@dawncampbell drugs changend crime forever. To much and easy money and with out breaking sweat once drugs was the biggest earner but when judges hammerd heroin dealers for 13 to 18 years then when cocaine dealers got the same sentence its natural that any man doesnt want to go to jail for 12 to 18 years, thats a long time! Plus they lose everything. So thats why theres so many men changing teams and alot are free lancers wich i believe is the best way as you are your own boss and no one knows much about you if your good at it. Plus take a long break every know and then once you have alot of money. Then ye just come and go that much people dont know what your doing becouse your doing nothing. But its not all an evil trade, heroin is for sure and most that do it get cought, the whole world knows it.
Not that I believe in the Bible, but it contains the following proverb: "A thief's accomplice is his own worst enemy." Loyalty is very rare especially in this modern age.
What about the bit about Spiny Norman?
For me after reading all the gangster books and watching documentaries the top man is Freddie foreman
Facts 💯
It's actually frank Warren
"top man" LOL
Can you recommend some good books and documentaries about gangsters?
It’s actually Bernard Matthews
I remember it like yesterday. In the year 2000 it was all over the news in london when reggie died
Even now you don't talk bad of them
Bullies.
my grandad when to war he never got a send off like those crims
I've never understood why these 2 were so feared? They wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes in Liverpool
They didn't live in Liverpool. They were feared in East London, for the reasons depicted in this documentary.
@@DC-uv3nz I know. I meant if they had been from Liverpool they wouldn't have got away with this behaviour
@@garyrigby21No one knows how they'd behave if they were born elsewhere. If they were born in the Arctic they'd be Eskimos.
@@DC-uv3nz*"VERRRRRY GAY, MOODY, ESKIMOS, actually!!"*
@@DC-uv3nz😂😂😂
They our still here except now we call them the Government , when it comes to the citizens of the country ,
Bugger, going out the country with you Freddie😂 I’m quite good with I am thank you 🙏
That hairdresser must be near about 80 by the maths, which mean she’s got bloody good aging genes.
Despicable woman. Glorifying the krays. I am even more disgusted by her than the krays
Behave yourself, she is a lovely lady, and stood by her friends for over 30yrs whilst in prison.. You cant buy loyalty like that.
@imnotavingthat6813 who needs morals when you got loyalty, hmm. She is despicable
@@markuss4133 Please explain why she is Despicable?
And not your government,royal family.....get educated......🕸️🔥🏴🌱xx
@@markuss4133I've your head a wobble
Didn't one of them marry a hanger on doxi, tom, brass?
Good information 👍
They ran Bethnal Green not London. Only became major players from behind bars. Richardson's way bigger. Windsors even bigger.
Yeah, only idiots believe the historians. If you want the real story, listen to the guy in the comment section.
Don’t feel bad they took our historical monuments down here , they named em after Martin Luther , it’s very sad , it’s our historical monuments
Tom Hardy captured there essence in the movie.
British public? You mean the people they lived among!
Lmfao, yes, the "British public" or, realistically, the several Krays fanboys who were classified retarded or, as the Krays loved to be, away with the fairies.
Bullies really
The Piranha Brothers: Doug & Dinsdale
They were gangsters of there time. The books Profession of violence and the Cult of Violence by John Pearson are pretty accurate and some up the entire life.
"Their" time,not there. Where did you go to school ?
Bigger of Mickey.
@@Michael-yd5ryIt's "time, not" not "time,not", where did you go to school?
Krays weren't Criminal Geniuses
ive seen this exact doco somewhere before scene for scene
Ok
To musíš vyšetřit! Dostanete medaile😂😂😂😂
Vsichni 😂😂😂😅
Uvidíš ❤
They may have been very nasty and dangerous men but London was a lot safer when they were around.
These guys were a pair of pickle sniffers
They won't last a second this age
I always wished I had a brother.
My granddad used to play in the pubs that the krays hung out in .
Did they have pool tables in those days?
Just what is it about violent criminals that makes them so boring?
Depends how plain you are
He was a cruel man, but fair.
Anyone know the name of the pub with the pool table where they're interviewing the 3 members?
In that life you either finish up dead or long term prison sentences alot harder now than then to keep your ill gotten gains + when in prison you are targeted by cowardly screws who attack you when there's 5 or 6 of them
Lol truth but no different than the krays etc did on the outside
They were no way near identical twins.It's easy to tell apart.
They were born as identical twins and remained looking identical until their early 20's by which time Ron was placed on strong anti psychotic medications which resulted in him gaining weight, which in turn altered his looks.
Yes, and in The US, the Capones and the Gottis …. Are Pedro and Hector Gonzalez.

Boy they sure don't look like Tom Hardy who played them in the movie do they, handsome I don't think that they were at all good looking. Yuck
No glamour at all!
Bernard O'Mahoney 🤡
poor guys. they needed guidance
Watching it will be interesting to know that exploiting young man sexually is common practice for punishment in underworld , especially in drug distribution.... soo Yes ..the twins brothers bring some ideas if you see in underworld and they are glorified as pretty much all underworld for the people who never touch this world.
She must of liked the life of gangsters bless
APOLOGIES BUT THAT IS A MASSIVE OVERSTATEMENT.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 They weren't THAT feared.... 😂😂😂😂😂
@GradedHigh-io2le little do I know? PML. What qualifies you to pretend to understand what I Know? Silly person. I'm a thorough bred Cockney from that exact Manor this pair of raving irons used to call home. They were a product of overblown media hype centered around the twins Homo activities with the 'Higher ups,' and their innate stupidity to bring celebrity to their lifestyle. Again, they weren't THAT feared. I KNOW. 💯
So why u apologizing if they weren’t ? U probably lying or u or ya family was victim of theirs
@largegod7 because where I'm grown, it's good manners to apologise before correcting or contradicting someone. Pillock of a Human. LargeEGO7
🙏🏆🌟🌟
They loved and respected there mother they helped many did good for many they defended them selves and others weaker but got disrespected there were many the same and worse and these days the krays would have been Angeles
As Harold Shand once said, "the Mafia, I've sh8t em!". The Krays did the same.
I learned what a 'sweeney' is.
THE Sweeney. As in Sweeney Todd (Flying Squad). Serious and Organised Crime unit.
The krays was well down the pecking order people hold them in high asteem but there overrated
Francis wasn't pregnant because they never consummated the marriage.
Do not conform,to the real Evil 🤔
France's was very good looking yes maybe a couple near was involved there
Sad thing is in 50 years the doco’s on east Enders are gonna be named Mohammed
Things change
I’m sure the rest of the world said something similar when England arrived at their doorsteps too
What a beautiful name the most common name in the world
@@cazthatsall2660Yeah but difference is England had good vibes, 'Mohammed' makes me want to vomit.
@@mrc7684England had good vibes? Ask the indigenous Australians, Americans, Canadians, Irish, Indians, Sudanese, Zimbabweans, New Guineans, etc how good those vibes were.
They invented gay
Ummm suicide ?
Polish jews
Brit. gang crime/mafia seems so silly.. Talking about cup of tea, etc.
In the thumbnail you used the same picture and reversed it? That is not a good start if you want to be genuine and be respected and trusted?!
Never knew Reggie was bisexual?
There’s old stories that the brothers used to have sex with each other
He wasn’t - he was gay, like his brother. They both liked young boys.
@@ariaacheson201 watch the documentary. It says he was after Francis’s brother, and only went for her after he was rejected by him.
@nimmichagger165 Yes, but if he was gay he would not have been attracted to Francis... That reveals he was bisexual?
Maybe marrying Francis was a front & cud poss b part of reason she gave up on life ???
Why did you follow them..then?.....grown Men.......educate me 🕸️🔥🏴🌱.....love the Krays,x
Why you love gay brothers
They were handsome men Ann Murphy Ireland 👠❤️
They were not twin.
Tryed to take over the docks in liverpool came unstuck the liverpool gangsters drove them out of town so thats how hard they were
They were jailed just after I was born ... But their legacy lasted through my younger child life .... Like they were still on the streets ...
how did Aunt rose Die?
How come there isn't a film about the Richardson's if they were as big as the krays
Its called Charlie
There is. Its called Charlie
The Richardson brothers where scrap metal dealers primarily
Charlie went to mine gold in south Africa and only came back coz his brothers where in trouble
I met Charlie many years ago in the 80's he was just a nice old man , I was but 20 at the time
He gave me this advice always give to charity and you won't go far wrong
I took his advice
Richardsons were'nt as big as the 2 old poofs , they was a lot bigger
So they where both gay...
Wtf.. different times because that wouldn't happen today so easy...
