James “PANCAKE” Taylor Was FEARED In Liverpool… Then Got KNOCKED OUT In Prison

🔍 LIVERPOOL’S GANGSTER | JAMES TAYLOR’S BLOODY REVENGE STORY

In 2010, a violent feud inside Liverpool’s underworld spiralled into one of Merseyside’s most shocking revenge attacks.
James “Pancake” Taylor — a feared north Liverpool underworld figure — had built a reputation around volatility, intimidation, and violent retaliation. But after being publicly knocked unconscious during a confrontation inside HMP Garth, that reputation suffered a humiliation he was unwilling to accept.
What followed was brutal.
Months later, Taylor and armed associates stormed Kimos restaurant on Myrtle Street in Liverpool city centre in a targeted revenge attack on Lee Siner — striking with crook locks and knives in front of terrified customers and staff. The shocking assault left Siner with life-threatening injuries and sent panic through the restaurant in under a minute.

But that was only part of the story.

Before the Kimos revenge attack, Taylor had already come under intense police scrutiny after being arrested and questioned in connection with the unsolved fatal shooting of Nicky Ayers in West Derby in April 2010 — a murder for which no one has ever been charged.
As police closed in over the Kimos attack, Taylor fled Britain and disappeared into Amsterdam, where he spent two years living quietly under the radar — cycling to the gym, renting an expensive flat, and seemingly building a new life — until a separate intelligence-led operation exposed his whereabouts and Dutch armed police moved in.
