Once dubbed one of Britain's most powerful criminals, Eddie Richardson reveals what it was like to run a gangland empire that dominated the area of south of the River Thames in the 1960s. Here in his own words, is the true story of a legendaery hardman who won the respect and admiration of many but also made enemies along the way as he forged a path through the criminal underworld of the last half-century. In this gritty autobiography, Eddie Richardson describes how he emerged from the war-torn streets of south-east London as a successful businessman, whose dodgy dealings not only invited the attention of the police but brought him and his brother Charlie into conflict with rival gangs - inlucding the Krays - villains, thugs, pimps and conmen. His own closest brush with death came during a shoot-out at the notorious Carford nightclub, Mr. Smith's. Yet behind the tough-gu image lies a warm-hearted, funny characters, whose biggest weakness was always his overwhelming desire to put the safety of others before his own. Now Eddie has served his time and vowed never to spend another day behind bars. He has survived, against the odds, to become the last major underworld figure of his generation to tell his story.
