Henry under the hammer in Krays snap

- BY ALAN SELBY

A PREVIOUSLY unseen photo of boxing legend Henry Cooper posing with Ronnie and Reggie Kray is to be sold at auction.

The sale – ahead of next month’s 50th anniversar­y of the twins’ arrest for murder – also includes shots of them with other British ring stars.

The gangster brothers were arrested on May 8, 1968, and convicted a year later for the murders of Jack “The Hat” Mcvitie and George Cornell.

Other members of their notorious London “Firm”, including Freddie Foreman, “Big Pat” Connelly, Micky Fawcett, Albert Donoghue and Billy Donovan, are also in the snaps.

The series of black and white ringside shots will be sold tomorrow by Essex auctioneer­s Stacey’s.
