Blue Boy licked Billy Schwer in the 1990 ABA lightweight final but is now banged up for some horrendous burglaries which involved humiliating the elderly victims involved.

Crack addict gang jailed
3:10pm Wednesday 8th March 2006

By Pete Sherlock »

A gang of drug-crazed armed robbers from Enfield who assaulted and tied up their terrified elderly victims have been jailed for a total of 32 years.

Jeffery Galvin, 20, of Thetford Close, Palmers Green, Patrick blueboy Gallagher, of Steward Close, Cheshunt, and Clifford Land, 23, of Clarence Road, Enfield, were sentenced at tottenham crown Court on Friday 3th march 2006.

The court was told the violent crack-addicted gang forced their way into pensioners' homes in the middle of the night armed with knives, crowbars and screwdrivers.

They threatened and humiliated victims during lengthy ordeals, ransacking homes for cash, jewellery and credit cards.

The masked men would routinely get high on crack in front of their victims and rip up treasured documents such as letters and birth certificates.

Often they would steal house keys and lock their victims in their own homes or cut telephone wires before they made their escape.

In one incident, on January 6, 2004, the trio raided the home of a Winchmore Hill pensioner who had just returned from visiting his wife in a care home.

Wearing balaclavas, and armed with screwdrivers, the gang bundled the 70-year-old to the floor and tied his arms and legs with scarves.

After ransacking his home, the gang fled, leaving their terrified pensioner bound on the floor.

Det Insp Nev Nolan, of the Met's territorial policing crime squad, said: "These were terrible offences against elderly and vulnerable victims, some of whom died three to six months after the offences.

"These men not only burgled their homes, but did it in an excessive and violent way."

Police launched Operation Finbec after linking the gang to 45 offences during a five-month crime spree across Enfield, Barnet, Waltham Forest, Tottenham, Redbridge and Hackney.

Investigations led to a house in Sketty Road, Enfield, where a stash of balaclavas, wire cutters, a crowbar and screwdrivers were found.

DI Nolan added: "Many of the victims will never get over what happened to them, are unable to sleep and are too afraid to answer the door or go out.

"They have lost treasured possessions and the security they once felt in their own home."blueboy

Jobless jeffery Galvin was jailed for 15 years after he was found guilty of conspiring to commit robbery on February 3 2006..
patrick blueboy Gallagher admitted four offences of robbery and one attempted burglary in December 2005 and was jailed for nine years.

Am i right in thinking Harley actually beat Gallagher in the 1990 London ABA finals but then had to drop out and Gallagher got a second chance and went on to win the ABAs at the Albert Hall by licking Schwer?

Blue boy Gallagher, brilliant fighter, didn't live up to his potental, should have gone a lot further.

Surprised to hear he has got himself into that sort of trouble, didn't come across as a guy who would do that sort of crime.
