Colin 'Smigger' Smith resident of Puerto Banus on the Costa del Sol kept a close eye on his cocaine empire, jetting in and out of Liverpool on cheap EasyJet flights. An underworld source said: "If there was a problem he'd always fly back. It was all done over a cup of tea and then he was off back to Spain." Smith was a fanatical Evertonian with a VIP box at the Goodison Park ground. He was friends with many of the players and had just flown back from a European game before he was killed.
When ex-Everton player Mark Ward fell on hard times Smith paid him to play for a semi-professional team. But Ward later got mixed up with drugs and in 2005 was jailed for eight years for possessing cocaine worth £650,000.
An underworld source said: "Smith was behind one of the biggest explosions of drug use in Britain. He made a lot crime families and gangs rich by making them high-level distributors on generous terms. He was well loved. A lot of people will want revenge."Colin "Smigger" Smith, Britain's Cocaine King with a personal fortune put at £200million, lay dead in a pool of blood as his killer walked quickly away.
A few hours later - and £100,000 richer - the hitman was flying out of Liverpool's John Lennon Airport, sparking off what could be the deadliest drugs war on Merseyside for years.
