Buster Edwards

Buster Edwards

Buster Edwards (born Ronald Edwards) (January 27 1932—November 28 1994, London) was a former boxer, nightclub owner, and member of the gang that committed the Great Train Robbery.

He was captured in 1966 and sentenced to 15 years in jail. After his release in 1980 he ran a flower stall outside Waterloo Station.

In 1988 a film was made about his role in the Great Train Robbery. His character was played by Phil Collins, the film named after his adopted first name: "Buster".

He committed suicide by hanging in 1994. [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DE2DC1739F936A35751C1A962958260]
