    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

    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.

      "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"
