I was surprised, upon hearing today that Longley had died, to find that "The Texan" didn't have an article. There is ample opportunity to expand this article with:

  • detail of his time in the Painters and Dockers union
  • the burning of the 1971 union election ballot box
  • the disputed murder of Pat Shannon
  • his earlier conviction for the manslaughter of his then wife
  • how he came to get his nickname
  • his alleged role in the deaths of others
  • his evidence to the Costigan Commission. Flat Out let's discuss it 05:39, 28 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
