Legendary bookie Henry Spurway has shaken up the Scottish betting industry. Now he's set to bring his 'one-stop shop' for punting down south - if the courts don't stop him. Richard Bath met the man and saw the future.



He may once have been Billy Connolly's manager, but for the big multi-national betting chains, dapper Scots toff Henry Spurway is no laughing matter. In fact, the former casino owner, vaudeville promoter and racehorse owner is their worst nightmare. He is the man who looks set to change the face of punting forever.



I spoke to Spurway shortly after a Scottish judge had thrown out a case against him brought by William Hill.
