I would like to be remembered as a good father. A good husband. A good brother. A good friend. A good man. But that is simply not going to happen. Like it or not, I have reached the point of infamy when I am going to be remembered simply as 'Ronnie Biggs', whatever or whoever he is in your mind.

There has been so much rubbish written up in the papers over the years.

Banks' beer. There's nothing like it! To Brazil. And to Barbados justice.

It has been rumoured that I was the brains of the robbery, but that was totally incorrect. I've been described as the tea boy, which is also incorrect.

I am not a perfect man who has led a faultless life.

The last thing I stole was a box of Coca Cola from a parked truck in Adelaide. I was nice and drunk. It was New Year's Eve. And that was about 28 years ago.

I don't have any intentions to return to England. I would go back if I could return as a free person. I don't want to return to prison.
