Oh god
Purple Aki! He was indeed a creepy legend. There was no boogie man in Birkenhead, the Purple Aki ate him.

I watched Wrestlemania on Sunday night
and someone in the crowd had a sign which just read 'Purple Aki'. Made me smile.

wearing a cape tied round the middle with a piece of string.

A couple of years ago a rumour went round here, about 50 miles away from Aki's home town, that he had been seen prowling around outside local schools.
At the time he was still in prison so it was impossible, but some schools sent out letters warning parents about him. I saw one of the letters so it really happened. It was a real flap!

The local rag reported it, missing out his name for legal reasons. He'd been named in the letters though.

About 20 years ago
He ytouched up a mate of mine. At the time, I was slightly disappointed that he didn't want to feel my biceps as well...

Yep
Our legend was that he used to carve his name into your arse with a knife after bumming you.
