Spent a lot of time with him and his brother Sam he stayed with our family in North Wales great company we had a lot of fun but what a lot of people don't know is what a nice man one to one he was generous to a fault rip my cousin miss you and that contagious laugh never forget you
I read Bartleys book and i think he was a true man of respect,never took liberties with weaker people.Tough as rusted nails,bear in mind this is a man who can happily live in the wild with no amenities,living off the land and still fight any man in Britain willing to take him on.Full respect god rest his soul.
This legend would be turning in his grave witnessing the trouble between the Joyce’s and the wards. This man fought for honour of the family and personal pride. They don’t make men like this anymore
I'm a kiwi with Irish Traveller ancestry way back. It's interesting seeing these interviews. Bartley Gorman looks like my grandad, though he was a train driver, rather than a bareknuckle hardman ha ha.
I got his book last year for just a couple of quid. Best bargain I've ever had and what a book, it's a definite cut above the rest of this genre of reading.
just shows what a human body can go through and still repair, still stay strong if not stronger, inspiration to us all...do we need a flimsy injection???hmmm not sure
Music around 1:10 sounds like blues rock harp any idea who it was? I played with John Lee Hooker Robert Cray and other legends it immediately caught my ear.

@kevingunter3 he would of seriously hurt any one of them. this man was the king of the gypsies. he had some legendary fights that people called fairytales. so mohammad ali came to meet him to see if he was the real deal and ali himself said just the presence of bartley gorman was enough to defeat a man. there is storys of him having fights that lasted for over 3 hours, no breakes for rests just pure toe to toe until the other man can take no more.

Mclean was not much of a fighter, Frank Warren never rated him and he was his cousin and promoter. Its why Mark Potter has had to fight in MMA events as no one on the under ground boxing scene is willing to fight him as they know he's at a different level.

Making all Gorman's world wide proud. That would be the one word to describe Bartley pride.
a true legend, it's a pity he's no longer with us, it would have been great to have met him, may he rest in peace,
