NOW ‘DYING’ BIGGS WANTS TO SEE ARSENAL

The 80-year-old is hoping to see a match at the Emirates Stadium in north London before Christmas.

A well-wisher said: “He is still very weak but he has put on weight since he got out of prison.

“I’m sure the crowd would love it if he turned up in his motorised ­wheelchair.” Watching the Premier League side play was on Biggs’ list of five “things to do before I die”.

Top of the list was to get out of prison, which happened in August when he was released on compassionate grounds because of his health. He is wheelchair-bound and robbed of the power of speech by a series of strokes. He now lives at taxpayers’ expense in a care home in Barnet, north London.

Next on his dying wish list is to visit the scene of the 1963 Great Train Robbery, which earned him a 30-year jail sentence, to see his home neighbourhood of ­Brixton, south London, and to buy a pint of beer in a pub in ­Margate, Kent.
