Here's the story of another Brigton Hard man and part time nazi.
Notorious Glasgow hardman Billy Fullerton was 'bully and wife-beater'...QUOTE
Dr Andrew Davies, a historian at Liverpool University, debunks much of the "fiction" that has sprung up about cowardly, fascist Fullerton, who led a fearsome gang in 1930s Glasgow.
The Billy Boys revelled in their reputation as underworld figures who were quick to flash a blade but dashing and loyal to their wives and children.
Davies, whose book on the gang will be published in 2012, said: "Fullerton himself was jailed for wife-beating in the 1930s, so in terms of myth-making that goes on, I'm just keen to subject these claims to critical scrutiny."
