“As kids growing up in Braybrook, all we ever wanted to do was be an athlete or a criminal,” ‘Jock’ reveals to Andrew Rule in the Life and Crimes podcast.

Another of his underworld connections, Jimmy the Triad, was a shrewd businessman, ‘Jock’ recalls.

“If a punter was getting on a roll and starting to win, he’d stop his momentum and say ‘I’ll give you one hour in the Red Room’,” Jock says.

“You walk into this room, there were all these glamorous girls.
