I bought a Escort XR3i Steering wheel from pat's scrap yard in Birmingham back in the day, and he actually served me never the less I was star struck. Great tribute

@@williamshenstone1630 remember buying a Subaru Legacy Turbo from TL Harvey’s by central motor auctions and a rs2000 from Hewit International..a cosworth Sierra from Eurosport on the a41 by the million dollar lapdancing bar …got around the midlands me lol
He passed me once on a narrow pavement in Brighton. He was alongside his wife whose miniscule size extenuatated his size, yet he stood aside to let me pass. A true gentleman. ❤R.I.P The Bomber❤
Lovely to hear that Simon 🥊👊👍
That one got me teary Matt, I’m 44 so brought back memories mate… love from Scotland 🏴 chief👊

Great tribute, loved Bomber in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
R.I.P Pat "Bomber" Roach.
Thank you 👍🥊
Fantastic tribute to Matt. My favourite TV series of time was Auf Wiedersehen Pet 1 and I needed a part for my car and I went into Pat Roach’s scrapyard in Winston Green B’Ham and there he was, and I shouted Bomber!!! and he actually answered me as that character he played. A fine man he was
Thank you.
Ah wow, lol, that's brilliant. What a nice memory 👍🥊
There's a comment by timetraveller9321 above that says his dad sold Pat that scrapyard, might be of interest to you ?
I met Pat Roach in the 90s. He did a wrestling match in a local pub to me. Me and my mate were allowed to stay behind to meet him. Really nice guy.
Great to hear that 🥊👊
He ran a scrap yard in Birmingham 100 yards from Winson Green prison bumped into him a few times he worked in there himself
That's right . Great you got to meet him 👍🥊
Superb tribute to a wonderful and gentle man 👍
Thank you 👊🥊
Lovely tribute to a lovely man . Thanks Big Matt .
I had the pleasure of speaking to Pat at his scrapyard in Aston, Birmingham he was a wicked man he took the alternator out of a van for us what a man not afraid to get his hands dirty even though he was a big celebrate top man Rip Pat
Brilliant,
Thank you very much 🥊👍
Pat Roach ,he was in so many of my favourite films and also my favourite character in my favourite series, a brilliant tribute to a legend of a man
He was brilliant. Thank you for the message 🥊👍
My dad sold pat roach a scrap yard in smerhwick in the 70,s, he was wrestling in those days and I went with my dad to the scrapyard one day but never got to meet the man, years later in Birmingham in the 90,s I saw him walking sports bag in hand entering his gym on broad street in bham city centre I looked at him, I’m at me no words spoken but he was my fav in august wiedersein pet and I was saddened to hear he had fallen ill with cancer and couldn’t make the last shoes, a true giant of a man and great actor and all round guy
Great message, lovely to hear.
Thank you 🥊👍
Sounds like an absolutely lovely bloke!
Definitely 👊🥊
Nice tribute Matt. One gentleman paying tribute to another one. This has actually got me teary eyed. RIP big fella.
I had a of lump in my throat too, very nostalgic and brought back memories Not expected Much love. Glad you feeling better Matt. Rest in power "Bomber" Pat Roach
Amazing how many movies that you notice him in, can't say a bad word about him, always seemed a likeable man.
100% 👍🥊
Only one word describes Pat Roach LEGEND
100% 🥊👊
Met him a couple of times when I was working first out of school in late 80s ,early 90s, proper gent, had time for everybody.RIP Pat.
Lovely. Thank you 🥊👍
Astonishing! Indiana Jones was my favorite movie series growing up, and I had absolutely no idea one man played villains in each one. He wasn't the top bad guy, but he certainly died in extremely memorable ways. Who could possibly forget the rock crusher, or the propeller? Great acting.
pat roaches mother in-law comes from my village lower Gornal. he used to send her to my house to buy the bedding plants i sold from my house. i was so proud he had my plants
Ah lovely 🥊👊

Saturday 4pm watching The wrestling on the World of sport. Loved Big Pat a true Gentleman.

Absolutely mate - and Pat was a good villain on the wrestling for a while back then.
What a wonderful man, so good to see such a warm tribute to a genuine and humble star who lit up my childhood in wonderful movies, TV dramas and wrestling matches (Pat would’ve made a great Darth Vader by the way ;) 🙏🏽 RIP
Those types of guys are inspirational to others, big strong guys that would help anyone and be a great person a true role model
Very well said. We need more of these old school men back 👍🥊
A true legend and a hard working grafter who filled his life with more than most pat Roach 🙏🙏🍀

Brilliant tribute!!! He was part of my childhood as well.
Thank you very much 👊🥊
Excellent tribute mate ...I'm sure someone has been cutting loads of onions as I watched it ❤
Pat Roach. A deadset legend.
I had a friend in the mid-1960s who was also a friend of Pat Roach. My friend boxed for Mitchells and Butlers (M&B) ABC in Birmingham, as did Pat Roach. He said that Pat was a wonderful chap - and a good boxer. Apparently he won the Midlands area ABA heavyweight title but had to relinquish it when it was discovered that he was a professional wrestler.
I've never heard anyone say a bad word about Pat. Lovely guy and a true gent
👍🥊👊
Had the pleasure of meeting him and buying a headlight for my car many years ago from his scrap yard in Birmingham what a real nice guy
Nice one 👍🥊
Thanks pat
You gave us many laughs growing up in the 80s
Thank you mate rest in peace
Great tribute, loved the video. Thanks 👍😊
Great wrestler, even better Actor, Proper Gent, RIP :)
Well said 🥊👍

Brilliantly done. Thanks for this ! Pat was a real gentle giant .
This is well put together Matt
What a tribute to the man 💯🥊❤️
Ah nice one. Thank you mate 👍🥊
Cheers Matt.
R.I.P. Pat.
Brilliant video made me cry as a 46 old the big man was a part of youth . AVP I watch all the time ❤
I met Pat many years ago,his daughter or granddaughter went to my moms nursery in Sedgley. He took part in the child/parent race 😂 he really was huge. I had a picture of him standing next to his range rover,he leaned on its roof with his elbow! A really genuine bloke
🤣 What a brilliant memory, lol
Nice 🥊👍
Great Video, Thankyou, Pat Roach was much loved and will be sadly missed! dx
Thank you David 🥊x
God bless true legend. Thank you.
Thank you for watching 🥊
I was working on the roads outside his scrapyard in Birmingham, he came over to the van and had a cup of tea with us. Great bloke, hands like shovels as I remember.
Great memory, thank you 🥊👊
Brilliant absolutely brilliant upload-episode 👏🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the tribut to this man!! I will always remember his role in Indiana Jones!! Have a nice day Matt and god bless you!! 👍
Brilliant. Thank you very much . All the best 🥊👍
Wonderful tribute to a wonderful man.
Thank you Ray 🥊👊
Lots of people going through challenging times at the moment Matt, ( myself included ) however it’s how we walk through the storm that matters. Your vulnerability and strength in equal measure is inspiring. Thanks for all your stellar work.
Thank you John. I really appreciate that.
And I hope things are picking up for you 🥊👍
Good video as usual Matt. The body will reset due to fasting.. Cells regenerate and exercise and movement will help the Lymphatic system to flush toxins away so there is no wonder you feel better.. The digestive system gets a much needed rest too. Sitting around doing nothing and eating is counter to all this.. but I guess you know all that. Great to see you doing so well again Matt. Look forward to watching the upcoming live's you have planned.
Ah that's brilliant, it's so beneficial. Thank you for the message 👊🥊
Fond memories of Pat for the wrestling and Auf Wiedersehen particularly. Reflects well on his character that he kept being invited back on to film sets. Lovely tribute, Matt.
I met & got to know Nick Godding who was the Producer on AW Pet Series 3
He was full of admiration of Pat and couldn’t speak highly enough of him
Nick told me that despite the fact that Pat was having almost daily injections of pain killers to help him work because of the big C, Pat was still doing 300 press ups a day to keep up his strength. 💪🏻 Pat never complained on set despite his illness👍🏻
Nick knew I was a big fan of Pat & AW Pet
Thank you for that insight 👍
Proves what a man Pat was 🥊💪
Awesome tribute rest in peace pat ...thanks ❤
I've always loved Pat, absolutely had to click the second this video was offered.
About halfway through, remembering how much of an influence he was on me, and I'm thinking "Pat Roach was my childhood" - lovely to hear you echo that sentiment later.
In a time when I had no real male role model in my life (certainly none positive) he was found in every interest I had (wrestling, tv, film) and having always been big for my age (I'm now similar in size to Pat in his prime) and showed me how a gentleman should act.
Brilliant tribute, thank you.
A great message, thank you. Glad it resonated with you 👍🥊
This was top notch. Thanks for celebrating Pats life and career.
Thank you very much 🥊👍
Watched him as a teenager on Saturday sport. Followed him in the movies and TV. We saw Pat as he crossed the road in front of us in Birmingham many years ago. 😊
Brilliant, thank you 🥊👊
brought tears to my eyes. i remember he had a wrestling move he called the brummingen bump.. hats of to him..
A good man. Did he really! 👍🥊👊
Always seemed like a genuinely decent, kind man.
Pat Roach was a legend of a man. I remember watching him both wrestling and in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet with my late father. A big part of my growing up. And he was amazing in the Indy films. Thank you for sharing this
He was 👍 Thank you for the message 🥊
Pat had a lovely warm voice.
Lovely man 🥊👊
I remember hoping you would do talks like this rather than just hardmen… you just get better n better , I think your capable of mainstream documentaries as you are very engaging and humble 🙏 bravo 👏
Ah thank you very much. I appreciate that. I agree with you. I really will start adding more if these types of videos.
As they resonate with a lot of people
🥊👍
It’s a must do Matt as it potentially broadens your audience whilst maintaining your current subscribers appetites. What I like most is you clearly put effort into learning the history of someone and that’s why you’re engaging, I’m no big time tv or film producer but I’ve been in the tv/film industry long enough to know what ready break is ! ..Your biggest virtue is your humbleness. Ps would love to hear you do a talk about one of Britain’s hardest ever men !!!! OLIVER CROMWELL ! ( food for thought) 👍🏻👍🏻
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet was a Great show I love watching it for the fight scenes with Jimmy nail and Pat roach. Jimmy nail doing his head-butts 😆
Lucky to meet and speak to him at scrap yard Winson green, Birmingham Pat answered all awp questions.
A brilliant brummie who lived a life.
RIP bomber.
Lovely 🥊👊👍
Lovely tribute Matt RIP Pat you are a Legend 🙏
Thank you very much 🥊👍
