Great train robber Gordon Goody dies in Spain aged 86
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Officials in a southern Spain beach town say a member of the British gang that pulled off the 1963 "Great Train Robbery" has died.
Gordon Goody was 86 and had run a bar in the town of Mojacar after serving jail time in Britain for the heist.
A statement from Mojacar's town hall said Goody died Friday morning at his home surrounded by friends. It did not specify the cause of death.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Britain's Press Association news agency reported previously that Goody was sentenced to a 30-year sentence after being captured in the crime that saw thieves make off with 2.6 million pounds ($3.7 million) from a Glasgow-to-London mail train.
He was released in 1975 and set up a beach bar four years later in Spain.
