King Of the Clubs, Eddie Fewtrell

[soulman101]

Has passed away https://www.expressandstar.com/news/...-dies-aged-90/
Did some work for him years ago, Ist impression wasn't very good the Ist time he spoke to me.
So I told him if he wanted me carry on , he needs to show me more respect.
He was taken a back and said that's what he likes about from men from the Black Country they don't stand no sh"t.
After that we got on well and got a big tip.

Read "The Accidental Gangster" and still can't make my mind up how much ofit was true

My eldest daughter is very good friends with one of Eddie’s daughters, she actually lives on the same road as me about 1/4 mile away in a £2m designer pad.

My brother did work for Eddie just like you Lloyd, going back some 20 odd years ago.

He told the same story, he stood up to Eddie and they then got on famously and he subsequently got a lot of work from him.

No doubt a local legend.

Hi Scoop, will have to give it a read.

Hi Scoop, will have to give it a read.

He disowned his daughter over that book.

He reckoned it was a load of b o l l o x.

Best story I read about him, was that he once had a real live bear roaming one of his Clubs (can't remember the circumstances how he got it) But had to get rid of it because it kept sh***ing everywhere !!

This has a ring of the real Peaky Blinders about it.
