Hey, Dodge just thought of a guy who I think would be great to interview. Ricky English, was a good friend of Dave Courtneys who organised lots of the unlicensed boxing events. Everyone likes him and he talks really well, has great stories, and knows everyone. There's a clip of him talking at the Blind begger pub, about his relationship with the late Dave Courtney. I've never seen him do a proper interview but he's mentioned a lot in books.
Ronnie Field possessed a remarkable talent for assuming the role of an upstanding citizen while simultaneously engaging in audacious acts of lawlessness; impeccable fashion sense, magnetic charm and undeniable charisma were the very qualities that bestowed upon him the title of "gentlemen", despite his involvement in illicit pursuits.
Fascinating interview…Thanks Dogde.I am glad you interviewed him 1st before he does to “Podcast Tour”….I still think we will be talking about the Essex Boys case for a very long time …Keep up the great work ✊.
Love listening to these old school gangsters . My grandad was involved with these fellas. But he died without rewarding me with many stories. Just ordered Ronnie’s book from Amazon.
Lovely work dodge 👏 Ronnie is a top old skool geezer, what you see is what you get i know Ronnie's daughter Sadie she's always been down to earth also.
Wowsa, so good to see him these days! I was well privileged to be a pen pal of his in Highdown. We exchanged many stories that we could relate. I also used to collect postcards, such as a pint of beer, fish n chips etc. I sent him a book written by Kate Kraft. Ronnie F wrote a lovely encouraging paragraph from Ronnie K. He also posted it to Charlie K who wrote God Bless and signed it and put xx. Ronnie also invited me to a private party at a wine bar (he was still in Highdown). I were treated so well by the faces. Esp Cornish Mick and his wife. I soon learned it was a contributing night to look after those inside. I wasn’t allowed to spend a penny, had wine by the bottles in an ice bucket. Constantly checked up on by the guys. Time to go home, was gonna catch the last train. Ooh no! They called a taxi and slipped me the money to pay for it. They don’t make the Underworld like they used to. The streets are full of HATE and GREED. Hence my exit to live a nice quiet life! Hooge thanks to Dodge and Ronnie for the memories ❤.
Brilliant podcast again! Very interesting character who you could listen to all day over a pint. Real old school Gent. Hope he sits back and enjoys the rest of his life! God Bless him!
I love your podcasts good guests, but this one was right up there. I was in high down and was invited into this fantastic man’s company. I was honestly honoured when Ron wasn’t doing to good ( heart attack). The job that he was doing in highdown . He recommended me and showed me the ins and outs of what to do on a daily basis. He is a gentleman, as he alludes to there are so many, TEN GRAND STANS , that are full of crap , he is the real deal . Thank you Ron . And Thankyou dodge for getting this fantastic MAN ON ⭐️
Love listening to the proper ol boys, cut from a different cloth they did what they had to do for a pound note, Loving these podcasts dodge Different class
Absolutely brilliant. Top stuff Dodge. What a true gent - as others have commented - and yes, this interview is a valuable document; a very important part of our history. Proper people; loyal, dependable, funny and self-deprecating. Excellent
Definitely need a part 2 mate I could listen to his story’s all day. Very down to earth, no ego, gentleman. Plus if you’re as much as a geek as I am with the old skool gangsters, armed robbers and hard men, Krays, Richardsons, Foreman, Shaw, McClean ect, read all their books and watch all the documentaries ect, this guy has first hand knowledge of all of them. Needs a part 2. Love you’d to be able to interview Freddie Foreman as well although hear he’s not well. He really does have an incredible life story
Yea not that matters in black. But this guy asks right question. Only 3mins in and already know he gna ask the questions I want to hear. Like how much u get lol
Brilliant interview mate ive met a lot of the chaps over the years. Shame now that there all passing away its a by gone era now you will never see men like them again.
I have really enjoyed your podcasts, especially the SAS/ SBS/Military guys. All very humble, and they have seen things must of us would shit ourselves at. But these 'gangster' bully criminals I haven't got the time for. Each to their own.
You’ve not disappointed me yet Dodge.. thank you. The old fella you sat down with is obviously part of the crime history that needs to be archived and you’re doing a great job.. 👍🏼
Absolutely loved this, love listening to all the old traditional gangsters. All my grandads era and abit after, he was a boxer and had photos with the krays and so on in his albums. He had a few stories of old too. Great work Dodge. COYIS
Brought my dad the book for fathers day he was well over the moon to see Ron had mentioned him in it, Harry's daughter callie. wish he knew how to get in touch and say hello . Brilliant read read it all now 😊
I came across this on my youtube feed some of the things this guy did was a comedy of errors as a criminal . yet a funny and entertaining interview ,hello from New Zealand , and well done Dodge !!
I'm looking forward to this Dodge as I do every episode mate. Top podcast, top interviewer and Top man. Please please give Hammers Chat UA-cam channel a shout, I know they'd love to chat to you about your love for west Ham ⚒️
Good evening dodge sir hope ya good ..another great upload always interesting. I'm bit behind for health reasons but as always sending out positive vibes and kind words..keep going ya right up the top of tree with the other diamonds..god bless fella.❤
Love the podcast Dodge, on a completely unrelated topic I’ve started a drinking game; every time I hear “earn a pound note” bottoms up 😂 keep up the good work man
Really reminds me of my dad's dad, also 1 of 13. Different times Different people. I'm just old enough to remember cash payments in brown envelopes. My first few jobs were like that.
Really enjoyed this he's a proper old school gangster who was the real deal proper respect to him laughing when you ask did he get the tom and he looks at his ring lol .
He said he was born in 1946, and his first prison sentence was when he was 4o odd years old, (1986 ish) yet he said he wasnt active in the late 70's early 80's because he was in prison??? I think he is getting his years muddled up. Im sure he must have done prison before his 40's because ive heard his name mentioned involved with crime in old books talking about vilains in the 60's and 70's. And ya dont really get ya named mentioned untill you get caught.
Man a was sitting here thinking this was Charlie talking ,going man you had all them other brothers aswell,well confused,!!!lol,great ,well interesting
There are 100+ more episodes on Spotify & Apple, that aren’t on UA-cam
