From the 30's to the 80's, Frank has been cell-mate and partner in crime to racecourse swindlers, train robbers and racketeers, He was quaffing beers with old man Charlie Kray while the twins were still in primary school. Frank has been a contract strong-arm, club owner, club minder, company director, Broadmoor inmate, firebomber, prison rioter but - first and last - a thief. 26 convictions. 42 years inside.
