WEST COAST LONDON MOB THE ICF DAYS During the late 1980s-90s, Edward Gerald "Eddie" Wallis, leader of the West Coast London Mob (WCLM) in LS, was heavily involved in the Inter City Firm (ICF), a notorious East London football hooligan gang known for its violent clashes and organised street-level operations. His reputation for brutality and strategic thinking earned him both fear and loyalty. Few names carried the same weight as Eddie Wallis or "that Buddy Holly looking cunt". Eddie’s rise didn’t go unchallenged. On the south side of the Thames was Tony Small of the Bushwackers. Tony Small was anything but. Standing just under six feet but built like a brick shithouse, he was thick through the neck, shoulders, and had tits and a gut. Eddie and Tony's boys met in train stations, back alleys, outside pubs, anywhere far enough from the police but close enough for blood to stain the pavement. Bottles, boots, bricks, and blades came out as soon as the shouting started. Teeth were knocked out, ribs cracked, skulls split open. A well-placed knuckleduster could change someone’s face forever. To outsiders, it was madness. To them, it was Saturday. Ambushes were common. One crew would tip off a train route, wait in numbers, and turn platforms into battlegrounds. There were codewords, spotters, and getaways planned in advance. Sometimes the police showed up, sometimes they didn’t. Either way, someone always limped home. And at the heart of it always was that bitter personal rivalry: Eddie Wallis versus Tony Small. Eddie Wallis in the ICF made with AI FROM HOOLIGAN TO HUSTLER By the mid-90s, the scraps in pub car parks and train station brawls were behind Eddie Wallis. With Tony Small locked up for attempted murder, the old rivalry was put on ice. For Eddie, it was the perfect opening. No more looking over his shoulder. No more random scraps pulling focus. He had space to think, to build. So, that's exactly what he did. What started as a firm became a network, and Eddie was no longer just a face in the East End. He was churning out a lot of money in the bricks and mortar game. Real Estate. Housing. It wasn't glamourous but it was solid. And it was the perfect front. He started in Hackney with a few run down terraces, places no one else wanted. He bought them cheap through auction, cash in hand, no questions asked. His crew handled the refurbs. Half of them were legit builders, the others were blokes who owned him favours. He quickly expanded to HMOs, rent-to-rent scams and laundered cash through dodgy renovation firms and over-inflated invoices. By 1997, Eddie had over a dozen properties in his name. He then invested in a pub called The Frigate down the road from his auntie's house where he grew up. Within the year he'd bought it outright. TURN OF THE CENTURY In 1999, just before the millennium, Eddie got on a flight to visit his transatlantic cousins in LS. He scoped it out and came back again in a few days. He'd linked up with an Albanian crew the year before, who had connections into Europe. They moved coke and skunk and were using some of Eddie's lockups in Leytonstone to stash it. They had some Eastern European friends. The Eastern Europeans were flooding the market with converted pistols, MAC-10s, and shotguns brought in through the docks or in the back of lorries. They were vocal about their business interests in Los Santos and wanted Eddie and his boys in on it. The news started calling Eddie's lot a fancy name a “cross-border criminal syndicate.” Before leaving rainy England for sunny LS again, Eddie did a bit of organising. His properties he owned went to his most trusted associates, and he put a crew together who'd come to LS with him. Twenty-six years on, Eddie’s bollock-deep in San Andreas' criminal underworld, a familiar face in all the wrong corners of The Golden State. He goes between London and Los Santos every other week, to make sure everything's running smoothly both sides of the pond. He's got his four eye's set on big things. Clubs, pubs, bookies and apartment complexes. Eddie's calling it the Second British Invasion.
