Hiya mate well i finally got who you where talking about, Thats Roy Shaw in the picture. He was the Hardest man in England for a while. Ive read his books and he is a classic. I hope ya didnt look at him the wrong way. I guess if you where the hardest man in the Uk, you could reckon yourself a bit???

I was at a charity do years ago when i stood next to Mr Shaw, he seemed to play up to everybody that spoke to him(he speaks like a retard but i did not think it a good idea to tell him!)

Keep the pics flowing Mike....
