Not sure that this is necessarily a good thing to advertise...0

He asked about Charlton when first interviewed after escaping from jail but he was an ardent Gooner according to his son on his news of his death.....1

Are we going to have a thread for all honest Charlton fans who pass on, or does being a tea leaf grant you special treatment?1

By all accounts he was a low-level crook. Hardly Idi Amin.0 -
Biggs recruited the dodgy train driver to move the train once it had been stopped by Reynolds team, he had nothing to do with the violence that the original train driver sadly received.
He was a petty crook not a violent criminal who is famous for escaping from prison after receiving 30 years as a member of the gang and going on the run. He was not a nonce or murderer, so all the moral judges on here, dont blow it out of all proportion!4 -
That's why I dedicated an RIP thread on the man. Got shot down for doing so mindyaShootersHillGuru said:0 -
Daily Mail clearly says Arsenal so I think we can put that one to bed.

But I cant believe he was all bad. If that was in fact a Charlton scarf with him at the end it shows there was a decent side to him.0 -
Shame on you for believing the Daily Mail! The BBC clearly says it's a Charlton scarf: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-25594688Riviera said:Daily Mail clearly says Arsenal so I think we can put that one to bed.

"Biggs was even visited by former footballer Stanley Matthews, whom Biggs afterwards invited to his apartment after hearing that he was in Rio. "We had tea on the small balcony at the rear of his home, and one of the first things he asked was, 'How are Charlton Athletic doing?' It turned out he had supported Charlton from being a small boy and had often seen me play at The Valley.""0

I am not sure there are any genuine links between the Addicks and the GTR.
It is all an urban myth which started when the writer of the film Buster Colin Shindler later confessed in the book 'Manchester United ruined My Life' that he used the game when Firmani scored two goals to secure a win for us at Maine Road to create a scene between Buster Edwards and Bruce Reynolds in Mexico so that his beloved Manchester City could be mentioned.
The way I interpreted the Matthews quote was Biggs telling him he had seen him play at the Valley ,as others have said there was a lot less tribalism in that era.
It is clear from various recent pictures and his son's quotes that he was a Gooner not an Addick.
