At 92, Freddie is one of the last remaining gangsters of his era, and has done time for his part in the murders of fellow criminals, including doing 10 years for his role in the murder of low-level criminal Ginger Marks.
He said: “I did everything with purpose, it wasn’t petty any of it, you know, it was either about taking a pound note or taking revenge on bad deeds that had been done.”
The former boxer is best known for working with the Kray Twins as an enforcer, after he moved from South London to East, to escape police attention.

He said: “It was the worst thing that could have happened to me. I had to leave south London. I couldn’t walk as too many coppers knew me… but over in the east end I was a stranger.”
Freddie and the Kray Twins met when Freddie was hitting electrical stores, walking away with white goods while his elder brother distracted staff and then selling them on.
Freddie who moved into Ronnie Kray’s flat said he got involved in “more profitable things” but refused to say what through fear of being jailed all over again.

He added: “I was used to death and destruction. Nothing would faze me anymore. Like when Ronnie shot Georgie Cornell… Georgie Cornell was a pal of mine, he was a nice guy. But he went and shot him in the Blind Beggar. I had a flat opposite that.
“I got involved with them. It was a bad move, but they did help me. They got me that flat. I used to go around to their house to their mother, Violet, and have a cup of tea. I took the kids around there to see them. She was a lovely woman. She would look after the kids if I had to go out anywhere.
“We got to know the Kray family. There were good times and bad times.”
