Newspaper reports neglect to mention Venton's offence, but what followed was not about exacting retribution, but building reputation. Roy 'Pretty Boy' Shaw, Donny 'The Bull' Adams and even Lenny McLean, The Guv'nor himself, fell before Micky's onslaught. But their was one bloke who was even tougher, and even told the twins to leave his meal ticket alone. Bindon pleaded self-defence and was acquitted, but the case damaged his reputation, and that, coupled with being seen by directors as difficult to work with, meant his acting career declined. Detective Chief Inspector Mick O'Keefe, who is leading the inquiry into the Canning Town murders, said: "This appears to have been a calculated killing of two unarmed men in cold blood.

Shaw has been mentioned or discussed in numerous books, most notably in arch-rival Lenny McLean's 1998 autobiography The Guv'Nor. Reggie Kray said Micky could have been one of the boxing greats, but he never trained and fought for kicks and cash. In 2000, Shaw was one of the best known mourners to attend the funeral of Reggie Kray, a lifelong friend. He had previously provided security for actors Ryan and Tatum O'Neal (he had appeared in Barry Lyndon in a scene with Ryan). Shaw reportedly fought his way out of two different holding cells at HM Prison Maidstone, assaulting several prison guards.Shaw also beat former world heavyweight contender Ron Stander, who had also previously fought Joe Frazier for the heavyweight title. In 2010, Bindon was the subject of Ten Men: The Lives of John Bindon, a one-man verse play written and directed by Franklyn McCabe, with Matthew Houghton playing Bindon. Mark Morris of Aardvark Forensics Ltd provided expert evidence to the Court and demonstrated how a number of forged documents had been created on a personal computer. An incident involving Bindon occurred at the band's concert at the Oakland Coliseum on 23 July 1977, near the end of their US tour.

During the 1980s, Bindon became a reclusive figure, spending more of his time at his Belgravia flat. This was the London of the Krays and Richardsons, where the organisation of protection, heists and racketeering meant that young gangsters such as Hole considered jail part of the lifestyle. The case leant on the evidence of supergrasses Charles Lowe and Kieran McCormack, both of whom said they were on the same raid. The book details: "There's a well known story going back to the Kray Twins when they tried to muscle into the West End by pressuring Farrugia. Despite a productive film and television career, Bindon felt he needed a break from acting, and went into organising security.Humphries was left standing unscathed next to the landlady's children and a mother-to-be, and, despite a pub full of witnesses, the killers are still free. He featured in Kate Kray's book and tv series, hard b******s, as well as starring in a number of YouTube videos.
