Morrissey mentions him by name in [[Mention::The Last Of The Famous International Playboys]].<br> | |||
In [[Mention::Autobiography]], Morrissey said of both brothers: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
"The Krays were criticized because they knew how to use their fists – as if this were a terribly unusual thing. However, since they were also working class and far too formidable, this was the spur for the contorted well-bred to bring them down. The Krays had been too strong, and more importantly, their empire promised no financial gain for the government. Something had to be done because no one can be seen to thrive unappointed outside of the law. Imprisoned, the Krays were unfairly locked away for the rest of their lives, and they died quietly." | |||
