Murderer Reggie Kray told Bros pal Matt Goss that he wanted to be a fashion designer
MURDERER Reggie Kray told his Bros pal Matt Goss that he wanted to be a fashion designer.
Kray, jailed for life in 1969, struck up a friendship with the pop star-turned-actor as they were both twins.
Matt, 53, said he phoned him one day out of the blue.
The singer, who shot to fame in the 1980s with brother Luke, recalled: “This raspy voice on the other end said, ‘Hello Matt, it’s Reggie Kray. I want to tell you, I love what you do and, being a twin, I feel a real affinity with you’.
A friendship began, and he would call me regularly from prison and read me poetry and talk about wanting to be a fashion designer.”
Reggie, caged for murder with twin Ronnie, was also visited in jail by Matt.
