Former London gangster-turned-actor Dave Courtney has died aged 64. He was found dead at his home on Chestnut Rise, Plumstead, in the early hours of Sunday 22 October.

Courtney claimed to be an associate of the notorious Kray twins, but swapped his life of crime to become an author and actor, publishing six books, and starring in a film called Hell To Pay. He was even rumoured to be the inspiration behind Vinnie Jones's character "Big Chris" in Guy Ritchie's gangster film Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Barrels.

But who was this larger than life character?

Last year, 蜜芽传媒 Radio London's Harry Low went to meet Dave at his home, after his pet peacock had been reported missing.
