Tommy 'Top Cat' Comerford went from working as a dockland lorry driver to becoming an international drugs supplier
A crime godfather who went from working as a dockland lorry driver to becoming one of the first to establish an international drugs network flaunted his wealth at boxing dinners and the Grand National . Tommy Comerford, known as Tacker and Top Cat, was one of the first Liverpool men to recognise the international criminal opportunities access to the docks could yield.
When asked what kind of sentence he thought was likely he said: 'I've had a word with the judge and told him that there's no way that I am going to accept a community service order.'' He was jailed for seven years but his sentence was reduced to four on appeal. Following his release Comerford continued to build international contacts. He was also a flamboyant presence on the city's party circuit.
