Hes a great storyteller, you can tell just by looking at him that hes a proper villain that's been there, done that. A big lump of a guy but he has the intelligence to make him even more dangerous.

If you are talking back in the day, then losing a couple of fights hardly makes you weak. My knowledge about the guy is pretty limited, but I'm definitely gonna read his book to hear about some of his exploits.

@@liamburnett5307 yeah 'Wee Man' is a great film (I've got it on DVD) for a look into how some of these guys start watch 'Neds', it's about Glasgow knife gang youngsters (I'll admit that I struggled to understand what they were saying a fair bit of the time, I'm shite with accents haha!) but that also a pretty scary story that shows how things can escalate badly. The Scottish gangland books are incredible reads (just like the books about Irelands gangland, usually written by Paul Williams) But you cant beat hearing about the local underworld, the only case I have thats local to me was The Essex Boys (Range Rover/Rettendon Murders) but it all literally happened all around me so its was incredible reading and thinking 'I remember that happening' and the fact that I knew a couple of the people talked about that hadn't been named. Plus through my work I'd met one of the main characters in the story (one of the murderers!) It really brings clarity and makes it kinda more personal.

The scar was from an incident when a few jumped him from behind or when he wasn't expecting it, so they basically outnumbered him. There's a short interview with stv news from the time in which he talks a bit about it.

I was in HMP Full Sutton with blink back in 95 think he was on B wing I was on F wing with Rab harper and me and blink use to meet up on the education block daily mainly just to get out of our cells and off the wings, and we were both on the cookery class where we were aloud to cook a meal and eat it at the end. I can tell you now the laughter we had was brilliant there were times we were both crying with laughter, blink is such a funny guy! It made our days pass quick that’s for sure. his book is a brilliant read to. Cheers ian blink macdonald, it was a pleasure to meet you.👍

I can tell you 2 guests that have one hell of a tale to hear, Thomas Campbell and Joe Steele. They were put away for 20 years after being falsely convicted (a proper fit up too!) of killing 6 people in a fire. It's a horrendous, scary tale that will blow you and all your viewers away. The whole story is a sad waste of so many lives.

Good interview but the bit about Perry Wharrie really wound me up. They killed that innocent policeman in my home town. Remember it well when I was a kid. Can’t blame blink for talking about him but it goes to show that glamorising these turds is just wrong. Going to drop some flowers on Frank Mason’s memorial outside the bank tonight. He might have been a copper but he had a family.
