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.
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
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.
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
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..😂..
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.
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 😂
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
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 ?
He ran a clamping firm many yrs ago and they took a car from a friend. I rang up and his Scottish manager who ran it mugged me off, which is fine, but he made the mistake of threatening me with the blundell name. When he was done ranting I asked him to write my name down, and i accept his challenge. I told him I’d give him a month before I got him and I’d take him on holiday to Ireland. 😎 Eddie rang me and tried to placate me but didn’t offer any solution so I just said his Scottish mouth will be sorted. Eddie screamed abuse as did I and that was it. I sent guys to the lot every day to count down the days. He brought the car and fine back to my friend who owned the Dagenham market chain. He asked me to let it lie. Worked a treat for me tho as I kept the markets for 20 yrs. they just thought I was a nice security boss. The amount of free burgers I got after that I put in a stone 😂😂
@@michaelkelly3638 when you did another podcast I asked before you replied you knew him and a guy called Marko at Jake and Elwood’s Dagenham when you had Hotshots. Out of interest cause Dave was married to my grandads sister, I used to go to Scrattons social club that he run I know he had doors the volunteer pub and worked at the Room at the top at one time he is 82 now.
@@michaelkelly3638 I remember my sister got her car clamped the woman landlady Patsy used to let her park her car in At Barking/ Brewery tap but they had the car park by her invitation she should have been ok to park but they took it for whatever made up reason even though she had parked there for ages Patsy couldn’t do anything or wouldn’t there was a northern guy was pretending to be Eddie Blundell she had to pay £250 to get it back from South Ockendon No surprise if people invite them in they will try to make easy money off everyone no scruples.
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....
@michaelkelly3638 you have lived quite the eventful life mick - I do remember that story now I think you told it on the criminal connection podcast. So he ended up getting killed by a young gunner for being a bully? That's the thing like you said in the video the old school tough guys were not used to a kid half there size willing to shoot them dead on the spot with a gun. Going back to your club fight in Tottenham, For you to even hold your own along with your team and fight against Doffus and so many of them and be outnumbered as you were you did extremely well - a true tough guy. Much respect to you Mr Kelly - love to hear more stories from your time on the door. Quick question - do you think Lenny Mclean was as tough as he made out in his book seeing as you actually knew him. Much respect 🙏
@@kevinharvey7139 Yeah had no choice but to fight really. Yes Len was a great door fighter. When he stopped boxing he gained size like I did and he was over 20st working the west end. Like chapman he used his weight perfectly. Tho no man ever has fought 30000 fights 😎
Michael needs to write a book. You can tell he's genuine and love hearing his stories from the 90's.

For the next year or so Lee kept breaking my jaw.

😂
I'll tell ya straight, he never liked nips
No one tells it straighter, more honestly, and with a more intelligent insight than this guy.
Sincerely,
Future book buyer.

What a straight forward sensible talking guy 🤩
Still loving your videos, absolutely fascinating
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
Brilliant mate, great to see you've got Michael on, nice one.
I'll watch this tonight 🥊👊
Cheers Matt first one. Will do ones in person soon once back out on the road
Could listen to this guy all day,he’s straight up and down,no bull 👊
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.

That’s Bill the Bomb holding up Terry Marley there.
Canning Town did produce a lot rough geezers
Do you think it was the canning town lot that did the Essex boys in the range Rover?
No
Awesome mate
When every night is Saturday night....................always stories to be told...

good man mike stright from the hip nice job.well spoken aswel.
This guy is so easy to listen too
And not like the rest of the so called hard men who bend the truth
Isn't it interesting, that a lot of these hardmen like to do art when they are in prison.
Good honest man so unlike half of the bs we hear from other wannabes
Enjoyed this, sensible guy. Joe Bugners son had a big door firm but you don,t hear much, any stories?
Il look into that mate thankyou

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
All right lad, Ben will be speaking to you as well. You’ll remember stories I’ve forgotten. Keep well lad 🤙
Definitely write a book.
Any more info about Michael's upcoming book.
Gimme a year, I’m new to this 😊

You would want this gentleman on your side rather than against you.Be great to hear more hes a proper un no bullshite
One tough man if you had him turn up i bet squeaky bum time.

He ran a crew of savages. He was polite to me but I was shrewd enough to be very wary of him. He was everything they say about him and a lot more.
@michaelkelly3638 thanks Mike!!
@@michaelkelly3638 I'd love an episode purely on the A team and Gilbert.
@ not my place to talk about the Adam’s . I had as few dealings with them as possible.
@@michaelkelly3638 Maybe just Gilbert then. Was he physically imposing?
Who is the Doffus character?
Head of the Brixton crew who attacked the club un door in Tottenham. My hardest ever fight
