Barrie Keeffe, the scriptwriter and playwright best known for writing the landmark British gangster film The Long Good Friday, has died aged 74.
Keeffe left the paper in 1975, but The Long Good Friday was directly inspired by his experiences there.
His agent Stephen Durbridge announced the news, saying Keeffe had died in London after a short illness.
In 1981, Keeffe co-wrote Chorus Girls with Ray Davies of the Kinks, a musical about a kidnap of Prince Charles.
