    I think he is a low-life piece of scum.

    And I'm also amazed at how he has gained iconic status. People think "ah he's great, he robbed a load of cash and the cute hoor managed to escape from prison as well!". But they seem to want to forget the brutal assault he and his team inflicted on the staff working on the train including beating the driver over the head repeatedly with an iron bar. A driver who was out trying to make an honest living for he and his family. If that man had been your Dad, would you see Ronnie Biggs as a hero then?

    Fair point. Sure Martin Cahill has iconic status among some, so has Gerry McCabes murderers.

    Being a loveable rogue absolves some, like Haughey.

    Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

    doesnt mean he hit him over the head with an iron bar. Hes hardly a notorious criminal. Interesting life story on the run.

    Your a clown. Does anybody know anything more than he was involved in, other than a train robbery 50years ago.

    The sentiment on this thread is incredibly mean spritied.:( Biggs has more than paid his dues to society. Let the man die in peace.

    Eh, no he hasn't more than paid his dues. He only served 9 years out of the 30 year sentence he received.

    Doesn't mean he didn't either.

    It doesn't matter. He was part of the group that planned and carried out the attack and robbery.

    He is scum. End of.

    Also, you'd want to look up the meaning of "notorious".

    All the people saying "fair play to him" like he's some kind of hero... the guy's a piece of fcuking ****, rot in hell you old swine.

    This piece of sh!t couldn't make a decent living like most others... I hope the bastard dies a horrible death.
