One of Manchester's most infamous gangs, formed in the 60s, was the Quality Street Gang. Named after the advert which showed a group of well-dressed men walking into a pub with a certain swagger, the gang was well known for sending the Krays 'packing' from Manchester when the brothers tried to expand their operation.

  • my father was a similar man to these guy's back in the day in Scotland and the stories i've been told are horrendous. but the same thing happens they all end up old men that looked like bullies and nothing to be proud of.

    The Krays came to Liverpool as well. When they got off at Lime Street station they were met by Ken Dodd, Cilla Black and Ringo Star. Ken tickled Ronnie’s bottom with his tickle stick and Ringo whacked Reggie over the head with his drum stick. Despite Ronnie usually liking a bit of bum tickling, he and Reggie both got the first train back to London, never to return.

    I met someone on holiday in Corfu once whose hairdresser in Grimsby had a cousin whose next-door neighbour once met a man in Spain who claimed to be part of the Quality Street. He was known as 'the Round Chewy Toffee' and was a legend.

    Many people who do long stretches in jail come out with the same mental age as they went in. Some have not progressed past “who is the hardest” in the school playground and spend their lives being controlled by people who are not hard at all.
  • The way you keep the delivery so sharp is really impressive, massively inspiring for us new true crime channels to keep growing, massively hats off to you, love your work and thanks for the quality content!
  • When I hear these people speak so proudly about "Being Violent all my life". My only hope is that someone gives them the same level of treatment or even worse than that which they have dished out over the years. I really hope that old saying of "There's always someone younger, bigger and harder" is very very true. Only thing worse that a bully is a proud bully.

    Funny thing is most of these ‘gangsters’ end up as sad old men
  • @nicknelson9450
    Looks like they've had their fair share of Quality Street.

    I lived in 6 different cities throughout the UK during my life. In every city I've heard the claim that 'the Krays were ran out of...' As with the vast majority of stories relating to crime, the stories were lies.

    love the comments , GOOD MEN are doctors ,nurses that save lives , soldiers that are so brave to do as they do , not people that terrorize people kill people , mame people for money gain . Get a grip on reality but you won't ever so lost in your own self portail of your self . It's totally sad to watch people like this to think of them selves as such as they portray but shows them 100%
