    The final words uttered in public by ex-gangster Dave Courtney have been revealed by his best friend. <\/p>\n

    Dave Courtney, 64, was a member of the notorious Richardson gang based in south London in the 1960s. Rivalling the infamous Kray Firm, it was involved in everything from drug dealing to hijacking, and illegal gambling to gun-running and prostitution.<\/p>\n

    And according to his own testimonies over the years, he had been shot, stabbed, had his nose bitten off then reattached, and killed others in order to stay alive \u2013 but his last words spoken to a friend hours before being found dead in bed having seemingly shot himself have now been revealed.<\/p>\n

    According to several sources, he was watching England losing in the rugby World Cup semi-final to South Africa hours before he died. Friend Brandan McGirr, 57, said that Courtney's last words were \u201cthat's typical, I'm going to bed\u201d.<\/p>\n

    He also found the man's body the next morning. \u201cDave watched the rugby with me, we both had a chuckle about England losing in the last minute as usual,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI said to him I'm off to bed and he said I'm off to bed too and that was the last thing he said to me. I found his body the next morning and he was at total peace. He made a decision, he controlled his life, he controlled his ending and made the decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
