- Join me as I meet with Jim Donnolly, the man who named Glasgow’s Most Dangerous Gang - The Calton Tongs.
Listen to JD as he tells me about his run-ins with the police, the gang unit “The Untouchables” and fellow gang members. Hear his fascinating stories of buying Arthur Thompson’s chair, meeting Ronnie Kray, his crazy prison stories and much more!

My old mate Hugh Collins spoke to me about his early years around that area
Interesting?
His book was fantastic. One I really enjoyed.
@@ryandonnelly4396 what one . I'm sure he wrote 3 or 4ish
@@999warden I th5it may have been his first. I lived with only my Da and brother so I kinda understood what he seen in his Auld Man. I found it better than Boyals SOF. Hugh was the next guy who could actually sculp and take advantage of his surroundings in the special unit.
@ryandonnelly4396 I took up stone sculpting being taught by Hugh in Gorebridge when he and Caroline stayed up edinburgh. When he moved down just past Walkerburn I visited him 4 times a week as a friend and support worker as he was lost when Caroline died of cancer . He did mention his dad was no role model .
Nae mention of the Brigton Derry... Back in the lats 60's & 70's i used to go to school wi a lad called Charlie Mccabe where we went to john at primary & then john st secondary. Brigton Derry ( then ) used to chase them aww especially when the carnival used to come to Glasgow green during the summers school holidays ..
