Cop nets dud ticket

ACE detective Les Brown was lost for words just once in his 22-year career.

A probe into forged Scotland footie tickets in 1978 led him to Arty Thompson — son of notorious Glasgow crime boss Arthur.

But incredibly the Godfather insisted the briefs had come from soccer legend Jim Baxter. He was unaware they were fakes and had even supplied 50 to Brown’s own BOSS.

Les tells the full story in Glasgow Crimefighter, book 15 in our sensational Scottish True Crime Library.
