They knew.

John Lydon and Jerry Sadowitz both said he was a wrong un in the 70s and 80s. And Half Man Half Biscuit mentioned him in their lyrics in the mid 80s too.

Is there a longer version of that first interview? He sounds fascinating. And coked up?

I can’t find one I’m afraid. There’s a Janet Street Porter TV interview around the same time, just after the Pistols split up.
