These kids will never know what it was like in the 80s and early 90s. Totally different world. Glad I grew up in that era. Fun times and great memories.
First come across Riz about 15 years ago in a newspaper article. Was amazed by this fella then and now.. beautiful brother
I've had the pleasure of meeting this brother several times. Much respect 🙂
Yes bruda... big respect. Coming from another Asian pakistani hooligan.. loved it back in the day....
@harrym are you from Brum.
@@sloopycat1954 no bro from sheffield....
Shit racist sport football hooliganism token Asian
self proclamied hooligan LMAOO
Thankyou bro
This guy is a role model for all Pakistani British men.
But he doesnt like being called Pakistani. He's "English Pathan" according to him.
@@haseebazam9137 Probably thanks to his Mom who most likely had a hatred against Pakistan like most Afghans of that era despite being married to a Pakistani from Nowshera which is a mixed Pathan and Punjabi city
Picked up a bit of a complex from Mr Khan, maybe he wanted to assimilate but couldn’t so has a lot of hang ups.
brilliant podcast. you should do a part 2 about his life after leaving the baby squad and becoming religious etc
Fascinating riveting
Big up Riaz khan
Ah yes, I grew up in the 60s & 70s, Birmingham … unbelievable racism.
Top man Mr riaz
Legend
Riaz telling Jackanories again I guess if it gets an audience. I remember him and his brother running behind the Leicester City football club Hooligans looking well identifiable if you know what I mean. No Blagging says Riaz…scoff scoff scoff!!!! Come on now.
Are you from Leicester?
MC sports, pioneer, the end and Lewis’s was where the to go for clobber
I was their ..villa youth their baby squad was older than us, backed us off, and then they started throwing bricks at us ...one of there lads shouted stop throwing bricks there throwing them back...next min our older lot the C - crew came down from Aston park we ended up running them
The zulu's were top dog in the Midlands
@@thegerm1397Villa did them every time ,Fact not bullshit
They got ran all over town by Hardcore it was filmed .AVFC
@@clario2178in your dreams
The pathans have always played major roles in the defence of Pakistan and Kashmir.
The Father of Pakistans Nuclear Bomb, Abdul Qadir Khan was an ethnic Yusufzai .
Long live Pakistan!
They played a major part in the destruction of Kashmir. Their jaahil quom shud be fenced into Afghanistan so the rest of us don't have to encounter them.
I'm sure he's an ethnic Bihari
@@AlpLimIndFox he is from bihar and is a pathan
@@rashidaquil5284He's probably a Rohilla which was the name given to Yusufzais who settled in Rohilkhand and beyond i.e. Bihar
3:45 sorry but did he just say that he comes from "The Ghetto"? (Goodness me) #BegginIt #FakePain #InnitBrudda
Ok, Muslim British.
Pashtun = Afghan. Afghan means Pashtun. The Tajiks In Afghanistan wanted the name of the country changed just because they did not want to be recognised as Pashtun as that is what the word Afghan means. He will forever be an Afghan. Fake borders drawn by the British means absolutely nothing.
Who cares about Afgandu 🇦🇫👳🏻♂️
When a failed state with millions of refugees.. na it does matter.😊
😂 borders which ur leaders agreed to numerous times. Its OK I don't blame your stupidity its high amongst ur people
Afghan does not mean pashtuns west afghanistan is not pashtun only the east is half of pashtun territory is in pakistan it don't matter of they're afghanistani or pakistani first they are muslims secondly both pashtun
The pathans are short slightly dark with light coloured eyes. He's a mixture of different tribes Uzbek or tajik and so on.
