Could listen to this guy all day,he’s straight up and down,no bull 👊

Michael is a top fella was great listening to him. A few friends of mine have the Terry Marley photo there’s some faces in that i see Terry sitting on Bill the Bombs shoulders. God rest them both.

That was a arrangement with reggie kray as he didn't let it slide as Sutcliffe battered Ronnie so it was set up as Jimmy knew he was going to broadmoor.

The tax man of middlesborough 😂😂😂😂

I remember in late 80’s some wannabe gangsters turned up at a Irish pub in Cricklewood after protection money week after there knees went missing

You would want this gentleman on your side rather than against you.Be great to hear more hes a proper un no bullshite

Still loving your videos, absolutely fascinating

If you have to pay someone else. to protect you or beat people up for you. Who's gonna protect you from them when they decide you're not paying them enough 😂

I remember the Blue Angels used to frequent The Whip public house in Leeds. On Saturdays, the Whip would be filled with the Blue Angels, the local National Front, and Leeds Service Crew! Surprisingly there was very little to no trouble between these three groups over the years during the 80s. I remember one Leeds Blue Angel who sadly committed suicide by driving his bike head on into a bus. He was a really friendly bloke who shared a few pints and company with my friends and it was shocking to hear of his death. I found the Blue Angels to be sound blokes.

This guy is so easy to listen too And not like the rest of the so called hard men who bend the truth

Jimmy Holmes states that story is a load of cobblers..like a lot of McLean's tales

A rember the mad scrap in oz that every one talks about with snowy n sayers etc , folk talk of a uzi or some other gun a dont rember that but a do rember the cross bow been fired at the doors later that night and having to stash me bag of 🕊 down the back a the seats because of it then spending ages trying to fish the feckers out by looking through the brass grill on top of the seats. Anyone from back then will rember them days used to find all sorts stashed down them hahaha miss them days man ... late 80's and 90's in shields was mental .. was full of characters 😂

What a straight forward sensible talking guy 🤩

Great stuff Mate... Top notch content as always, love to see more with you and Michael always enjoy his interviews, tells it straight no biggin himself up

Albert and Bobby Reading was heavy Canning Town faces in the 50s-80s and Albert was game well into his old age, running a boozer in the east end whilst in his late 60s until at least his 70s, he was still game as a badger, he became more of a tool merchant then; he attacked a fella with acid around them times. He had 3 fights in one day in Wandsworth I believe, against Frank Fraser (who was admittedly not too useful with his hands, he'd chop you to pieces in the blink of an eye though) and he knocked him spark out in the morning, then had a tear up with with both Richardson brothers; I believe Eddie got the better of him though Albert told it slightly differently of course! Charlie exhanged a few digs with Albert but pretty much dropped it out, not out of fear, that wasn't in Charlie's vocabulary; he simply told Albert he couldn't be bothered and thought violence a mug's game and retired to his cell to read, telling Reading that the best thing he could do in the shovel was educate himself, being an extremely well read and intelligent person, more so than his brother Eddie who was more a brawler.

Definitely write a book.

I'd like to know more stories about Gilbert Wynter. Mike only briefly mentioned him here. Id heard he was an intimidating fierce character but Mike seems to think he was nice....

Good buxxy

I used to go to Noshers’ pub in Garrett Lane many years ago, lovely genuine man, had some good times there. Good days.

Brilliant mate, great to see you've got Michael on, nice one. I'll watch this tonight 🥊👊

Good honest man so unlike half of the bs we hear from other wannabes

Hello mick it’s Dean long time no see hope your doing well I still see and talk to Andre all the time he hasn’t changed lol good work Ben getting better all the time

Great interview Ben, Michael Kelly shows that you don´t have to have a criminal record to be respected. He seems like a true gentleman and has real "old-school" values. Top Class interview

There is no shortage of hard men in the world however not all in fact very few are as articulate, well spoken and as intelligent as this guy Mr Kelly is a real all rounder, the full package small wonder he did as well as he did.

should have more subs.........always great content

When every night is Saturday night....................always stories to be told...

Enjoyed this, sensible guy. Joe Bugners son had a big door firm but you don,t hear much, any stories?

Who is the Doffus character?

Great stuff Michael and Ben. Like others, i could listen to your man all day. Really interesting amd no nonsense man

good man mike stright from the hip nice job.well spoken aswel.

No one ever mentions the hardest man in the North East . He's a Sunderland man . Probably the way he wants it .

Duffy wernt the boy , speedie n others where

Awesome mate

Any stories when you worked with Davey Maxwell in Dagenham ? He would have a book in him no doubt. Also Michael why did you have a fall out with Eddie Blundell ?

Thank you for this post, can not wait for his book. Your format is good Ben, love to have a podcast as well especially if it is visual.

Any more info about Michael's upcoming book.

Isn't it interesting, that a lot of these hardmen like to do art when they are in prison.

No one tells it straighter, more honestly, and with a more intelligent insight than this guy. Sincerely, Future book buyer.

Great interview ,used to go to a club in the 90s where Michael was on the door ,the man is massive. Aa regular attendees got to chat to him few times whilst waiting to get in. Good to see your still about Michael,come on ,hurry up get the book out..😂..

That’s Bill the Bomb holding up Terry Marley there. Canning Town did produce a lot rough geezers

Michael needs to write a book. You can tell he's genuine and love hearing his stories from the 90's.

One tough man if you had him turn up i bet squeaky bum time.

Intelligent chap , no ego .

I met Lee Duffy in 1990, and after shaking his hand he broke my jaw. While I was in the hospital Lee visited, brought me some grapes, then broke my jaw again. For the next year or so Lee kept breaking my jaw. I never knew why he kept breaking my jaw, and I couldn't ask him because my jaw was always broken.

THESE PODCASTS ARE VERY GOOD AND EDUCATIONAL ABOUT HEAVY DUTY PEOPLE STORIES.GREAT STUFF.KEEP IT UP 🌍❤️👍👋🤔😲😠🤨🫡🥺☠️

Mate its gluckstead not guckstead

One thing is certain there’s always someone harder than you

He who rides a tiger

Where are all of these tough guys today, why don't they get together & save england from these muslim rape gangs 🤷 everyone is so tough but nobody doing anything about the sheepshaggers 🤔😖😠😡🤬😤

Old Peter Fury is the criminal of the family. Old John was just a soft lad, although there's no shame in that he has aspired to be some kind of hard man.
