i dont know him personally, and to be honest he intimidated me. That doesnt often happen. I really didnt want to look at him incase he came over and literally ripped my face apart. Ive met alot of guys with big reps - Frankie Frazer, Purple Aki, Tony Sinnitt etc- but this guy scared me the most. The things he's capable of are frightening. Hes a fair man, the complete opposite of lenny McLean. Lenny was a bully who liked people to know how hard he was, who he had battered etc but The Taxman does it for the right reasons. If he ever took the hump and developed a chip on his shoulder i wouldnt live anywhere near him.
If you can ever find it, there was a programme on TV a while back called MacIntyres Underworld featuring him. For example somebody steals a car from a dealership in the town and gives him a call. Within a couple of hours or so hes found out whos got it and orders them to pay the guy back. The poor lad shits himself when he sees who's come for him ha ha ha. I believe Brian says something like "dont worry im not gonna hit you, not with all the fucking cameras here" ha ha ha
