Jimmy the Weed

Jimmy Donnelly is an underworld legend. Known to all as Jimmy the Weed, he has mixed with the most notorious gangsters in Britain and the Costa del Crime in a criminal career spanning five decades. He has been arrested on suspicion of serious crimes and faced numerous Crown Court trials - and walked free from them all. Most infamously, Jimmy was a key figure in the Quality Street Gang, a group targeted for years by Manchester Police. In this explosive autobiography, Jimmy tells how he rose from humble beginnings to become the biggest illicit ticket agent in the North.
