My name is
Tony Lambrianou
I was brought
up with the Krays in Bethnal Green
We was all
families and brothers
And that's
where your power lay
Within your
family
The East End
is known for the criminals it turned out
There was
a new movement among the youth
The firms
of that time were the Richardsons, the Nash Brothers, the Lambrianou Brothers,
the Krays,
We ran the
system, that's how it had to be, they couldn't tell us what to do, it wasn't
like that.
You didn't
argue with the Krays, I know what fear is, cause I'd give it out
If they had
the hump, that was it, you knew you had a problem
If one of
them hit you on the chin, stay on the floor,
You never
knew what was going to happen, never said a lot but they done a lot
I was convicted
with the Kray twins in sixty-nine for the murder of Jack the Hat McVitie
It wasn't
my row, it wasn't my argument, but we with them,
I as there
when it happened, I disposed of the body, I was the last person to see
him
This man was
one handful, he was about six foot two, about sixteen stone on him;
He didn't
fear no one, and if he had a gun on him, he'd use it,
I see him
blow a pub out one night cause they wouldn't serve him a drink, cause he'd
come back,
You couldn't
let him go you couldn't let him go, he was a nuisance
And when a
person becomes a nuisance we couldn't leave him
I got a life
and fifteen years recommendation, and I done fifteen years nine months,
I was category
A for twelve years, there was no parole for me,
I had gone
past that stage of things, I came out still living in the past,
I miss what
I left behind, the firm, the image is back there,
Once you put
the suit on, once you put the suit on
You become
a different person
We never involved
ourselves with innocent people.
They was all
other villains, that was the code I lived by
We fall into
a category people like me, the Krays, Freddie Foreman, Frankie Fraser,
Dave Courtney, unemployable men, I deserve something
But to be
convicted of a murder I thought was a bit strong
A big slice
out of my life and it cost me plenty
The firm
The firm.
