Welcome to www.thegeordieconnection.com. This is an insight into the world of Steve Wraith. Steve is 34 and lives on Tyneside and is an actor and writer. Steve’s television credits include ’55 Degrees North’ , ‘Wire In The Blood’, and ‘Byker Grove’, and his film credits include ‘Goal’. This site was launched in 1998 to promote a manuscript entitled ‘The Krays The Geordie Connection’ written by Steve Wraith and Stuart Wheatman. The intention was for this site to help attract a publisher and then close down. However after obtaining a publishing deal with ‘Zymurgy’ the book was a huge success and the site became an important advertising tool. The decision was taken to keep the site up and running and this lead to a video and DVD deal with www.gangstervideos.co.uk. ‘The Krays Geordie Connection’ documentary was released a year after the book and has proved to be just as successful. The site has proved to be a useful starting point for those with an interest in the Kray family and we have endeavoured to update the various sections over the years as well as answer any questions that visitors may have. The site has changed
direction over the years and is now dedicated to helping chart Steve
