Reg Gutteridge put one over on him. Reg was interviewing him and was warned the Champ was surly and intimidating.... Sonny comes into the room sits down next to Reg and just stares at Gutteridge. So Reg reaches into his pocket pulls out a knife and stabs himself as hard as he can in his leg. Sonny's face lit up in amazement and awe and Liston was as good as gold in the interview. Of course what Sonny did not realise is that Reg lost his leg in the D-Day landings...
When he went to London and made appearances at the Kray's clubs, ronie apparently insisted on driving him around personally, Liston reportedly said he'd never been so terrified in his life, whether that's because Ronnie Kray was...well, Ronnie Kray or whether he was a particularly bad driver I'm not sure.
It's only a word they won't let me say say on here. The firework that kids let off on bommy night that makes a loud noise. Begins with c and ends with r.
Why can't we say that though? Cos it means something else about white people, in America? You're white though. Or is it another reason you can't say it? Sorry i'm being annoying!
When I was a little boy the Krays asked me dad to make an appearance at one of their new clubs. I came down with tonsillitis and had to go into hospital to have my tonsils and adenoids out so my dad phoned them to say he couldn't make it. A week later later there was a knock at the door. A big van with a new set of swings, a seesaw and a slide. The message said "To little Al, hope you get better soon. Uncle Ron and uncle Reg", They couldn't of been that bad!
Well it certainly makes up for all the slashings, chelsea smiles and stabbings. Not sure about the murders though, maybe if they'd dug a sand pit. Seriously though, cool story. I assume it was a card, do you still have it?
Haha, i thought you meant that you put the little stars instead of the word on purpose because people have told you they don't like the word. Now i see!
