I use to have a few glasses of beer with Albert in the pub's down canning town. Nice man. See him just before he passed away. Always gave money to my kids for ice cream. They don't make them like Albert anymore. RIP.
@Freedom12358whatever you think of the man, i dont care, but it wasn't ammonia. It was sulfuric acid, it didn't just blind him for a while, it disfigured the guy for the rest of his life, it melted the skin off of his face. You would probably get a life sentence if you did that sort of thing these days. It's the difference between stabbing someone with a penknife or a sword.
I just want to say thanks to you Ray as I have had a bit of a scary turn-out the last couple of months when they found a couple small tumours on my liver which is being sorted out thank god. To turn my head off from the stress of it I've been watching your stuff back to back and have loved your stories. People I knew of growing up round Peckham. Lewisham and over at west London. They don't make 'em like you anymore mate London was a different place in them days and geezers like you were real warriors! All the best mate.

Albert would say that if you tied him up, bit of grappling so to speak, he was no use. His fight was done! He had to have the freedom to move around. So that makes sense Ray. Your information sounds about right.
great work Ray for putting the record straight there...Mr Reading...what a legend...how much bottle do you need to refuse to join in the strike then to fight both the Richardsons? in one day fantastic content mate. cheers. someone should make paeky blinders but set in London back in these days...imagine the characters..

I think Reggie was a skilled fighter & Ronnie was less skilled but a lunatic. It was said that Reggie used violence for a reason but Ronnie just liked smashing people with anything he got his hands on.

Hi Ray, having watched the Albert R. two part documentary previously (Liam Galvin) I was intrigued to know who the "rapist acid victim" was that Albert bashed, I asked Liam and he didn't know! Do you sir?
I heard that Chris lambrianou chinned Brady when he was hiding in a recess when he should have been in his cell, he saw Brady being escorted back to his cell after making an application and when they got level with Chris he jumped out and knocked Brady down.
Albert although only a little bloke was a proper handful used to run all the trouble pubs in the East End and looked after ex boxers. Rod Douglas he had taking care of the John Bull pub in Roman Road. Last time I saw him he had a large boozer near Hornchurch. Did you also know that Ronnie Bender managed to get his hands on Brady and broke his jaw
Think when it's out there that you're spraying sulphuric acid over people.. and God knows what else he'd got up to.. not many are going to get in your way lol

We know you like the Richardson and dislike the Krays Ray but Albert Reading done exactly what he said he did. All 3 of them in one day. Truth be told they were only a minor gang who were not known out side their own tiny little area until the torture trial. Although being a bit disingenuous Charlie was right in saying they got big sentences for giving a few slaps. No murders, no stabbings, no guns. The myth has been built up by Eddie who had to turn to dirty book shops and unlicensed fighting to earn a few quid. Hardly the work of a master criminal he likes to make out he was. The drinkers they had were rooms in scrap yards with a table and chairs. No west end clubs or anything. cheap suits and cheap shoes. They were scrappies really and Eddie alway had an inferiority complex to his brother. Lived with his old aunt for about 20 years ain't he? Not a pot
The Richardson’s were on another stratosphere to The Krays 😂😂😂 a little firm you say ?? They were about earning money , not wanting to be Al Capone ! The Krays were laughable! I believe Albert Reading did do what he said , but i also believe Albert Reading if asked who you wouod rather avoid Ronnie & Reggie or Charlie or Eddie , He’d Say Charlie & Eddie ALL DAY LONG
Ray's led a VERY wild life.. he was an absolute maniac.. and he speaks of Eddie Richardson with total reverence! And anyway, wasn't Charlie credited with being the brains of the operation? Certainly if you listen to him, Charlie was definitely switched right on!
Don't get me wrong, I like Albert, and I know he is proper nutty, just one thing though, he is a cross dresser. Each to their own but it never gets and mention.
I use to have a few glasses of beer with Albert in the pub's down canning town. Nice man. See him just before he passed away. Always gave money to my kids for ice cream. They don't make them like Albert anymore. RIP.
I hope they don't make them like that anymore. He was a violent half wit and will not be missed.
Love bro
Mate Albert done 3 in a day
The Beckton Arms. I used to see him when he had the Spencers Arms in Hornchurch.
Albert was related to my dads brothers wife Margaret. My mum use to say he was a hard man.
Reg and Ron was the hardest especially when cliff Richard was around them
Unhinged woofers
Reg & Ron were tough guys...up the back door...raw no lube no pullin' out 😂
Lmfao
yeah hard for young boys
Albert reading was harder hand to hand than both krays
Found Albert Reading very interesting, would love to have met him. What a legend
Albert readings a fucking G if only more British were like him

The krays i think
Albert was independent strong no fear served no one.
His own
Met police
Albert told this story and the previous one years ago .
So what did he cook all the food on.
Ray I enjoy all of your videos,but this one all your doing is repeating what Albert says in his Liam galvin interview
Who’s Liam Galvin it’s the bomb I am watching !!
Almost word by word ain't it lol
He's letting people know who havnt seen the interview I assume
Sacha, I enjoy your comments, but your just repeating what other people have wrote on other videos on this channel before. 🎉😂
Such intricate detail, Albert didn't even say this much 😂😂😂😂 spinning a story out of the air like that. The Brady thing is out of the film Mcvicar😂😂😂😂😂
Charlie and Eddie Richardson were both harder than the krays in street fight hand to hand
So where was you then Ray ??
Think that was pretty much what Albert said on RUclips
Good old Albert a real man unlike frazer a tool man and a coward
Yeah good old Albert the snout
to be fair if your 4ft 2 your not gonna not use a tool
Then the bell went and playtime was finished...
Stop repeating stories you’ve heard second hand
