Mad Frankie Fraser: The Gangster Thug Who Protected The Krays | British Gangsters | Absolute Crime

A hard man goes to work in a steel mill , works 60 hours a week in front of a furnace for 50 years to provide for his wife and children , Not a thug Some people idolise people as if they were heroes and they are not

The most dangerous men in Britain have never once been the likes of Fraser, but have always been those who are untouchable...such as those in Westminster or very high up in financial power and that has never changed.

Thing I can't understand about frasers reputation is how does torturing someone who is tied up make u a hard man ?

Fraser wasn't a stand up fighter in fact without a weapon he was a coward.

Anyone who knows anything about British gangster history knows Frank was part of the Richardson crew who were rivals to the kray firm.

Done more bread and water than any man alive... Asif it's summat to be proud of 😂

Frankie was NOT an enforcer for the Krays, he was with The Richardsons!!

Fraser was a wardodger who ponced off the women who’s husbands went to war. Nice! Also he had little relationship with the Krays until they went to prison. Then he made money off their name with tours etc. Foreman however, was the real deal and had respect from everyone. And he knew the Krays well. This should be called Freddie Foreman:The gangster who protected the Krays.

How could he be a member of both Krays and the Richardsons? I know he didn’t go to WW2 but he was burglar while the real men went to fight. Fraser was 5 ft 2 and is known as a coward without weapons and his victim needed to be tied up as well.

Footage like this deserves Government funding for its valuable contribution to the preservation of an unalienable part of British History.

Well done frankie spending nearly all you life in a prison surrounded by men bet you were getting really excited

A man who used weapons and friends. Not a hardman, a bully who didn’t fancy a straightener

I met Frankie when I was living in Calahonda Spain in the 90s. My wife had her handbag snatched in a supermarket carpark, a bunch of Morrocon kids, my wife was in tears and he approached us at our car and asked what was wrong, he told us not to call the police and he would deal with it, he asked for our address. Two hours later a tall Spanish fella turned up at out villa with the handbag, the man asked if anything was missing, it was all there. I remember the guy had bloody knuckles. I didnt know it was Frankie Fraser untill a few years later when i saw him on the news.

Life's bottom-feeders, the lot of them.

Fraser spoke about robbing dead people in bombed out houses during the war in a previous interview

Great documentary bernard 👏

What a sad and wasted life.

Mad Frankie was 5ft2", no wonder he was mad 😂.

Even billy hill thought Frankie was a melt

FF was a small man who had an extremely high tolerance of pain, and he showed no mercy at times in inflicting a lot of pain and suffering, yes torture, on others. Insanity helped these gangsters "cope " with their iniquities. They could turn on the charm, and show immense generosity, which made them particularly dangerous.
