The Cornerman: Episode 147

The Cornerman: Episode 147

Today’s episode looks at the life and crimes of Andy Baker, known as ‘The Cornerman’ for taking a cut of any deal. We look at his rise from working the doors in Surrey, through to murder trials, drugs and extreme violence. It is a story straight out of the movies.
