The History of Tooly
Part 1
Toolys rise in the
ranks of the criminal underground began here. But it all started long
before he came here to drink halves of bitter and flick bogeys at the
dartboard .It was when Tooly began the notorious `penny for the guy`
protection racket outside the Railway in 1982 in which he forced all
the local ragamuffins to give him 50% of the money they had spent all
day scavenging. After that coup the obvious next step was to target
Christmas carol singers but this time he set his sights much higher.
He employed several local bigger boys to act as his enforcers and proceeded
to take 90% of all the Christmas Carol money earned from all the kids
from New Brighton and quickly made enough money to help him set up the
next phase in his dastardly scheme.
As Tooly realised the power he could achieve with money he hatched another
cunning stunt. This time Tooly (again with the aid of his `enforcers`)
collected together all the rarest Panini Football 83 stickers and then
started a black market in which he was the major kingpin. And with stickers
like the `Tottenham Hostpur Team Badge` fetching up to 20 pence a time
Tooly was well and truly raking it in. Tooly had risen from common street
urchin to a major player in the junior division of the New Brighton
criminal fraternity and all in under twelve months.
