I have no enemies left

>> Reformed gangster lives in deep regret >>> Photoshoot with 'guns' nearly got him nicked

- JOHN DINGWALL

REFORMED gangster Paul Ferris is back living in Scotland after years in London - but has no fears over his safety.

He claims the gangland figures who wanted him dead are either retired or dead themselves.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Record Ferris said: "Home is Ayrshire. I've been back in Scotland five months and it is kind of strange to be back."

Asked if he has to look over his shoulder, he said: "That's all in the past, mostly anybody is dead or retired or they don't want to know.

"I used to tell people I go to Halfords, buy two wing mirrors and put them on my shoulders. Now I've got no enemies and I'm happy to be back in Scotland doing what I'm doing."

Ferris revealed in yesterday's Daily Record that he is finished with crime and warned the current generation of gangsters they are in a losing battle thanks to high-tech police tactics.

But he says he lives every day with regrets over his life of crime.

The dad of five said:

"Everyone has regrets. I regret most of all not being the best father.

I missed a lot of my own kids childhood and you can never get that back, but what I'm proud of most is my sons who never followed my path.
