- 10x10 HARDMAN 1989
VINTAGE SHORT FILIM OF FORMER BRITAINS STRONGEST MAN
ALAN CROSSLEY(man of steel)
Alan works works out in the early hours at hampstead heath ...
Every few months I like to pop back to see this video and stare at the sheer wonder, toughness, resilience and strength of his Jumper
Class😅😅
@@liamkatt6434 ye couldnt make it up🤣🤣👍
I do the same thing but for the naked star jumps
😂
Hilarious man 😂😂😂
I've gone through the comments and no one has mentioned the nekid guy doing jumping jacks in the middle of the stable 😯
That guy in the jumper though, that's what's called country strong 👍👍👍
I thought it was a bit odd to just add some random naked guy doing jumping jaxs
@@matthewwalker6621 for the ladies 😀👍🍻
Are you American? I thought brits called them star jumps.
@@brianmunich553 in British, but the video is by an American so I thought I'd keep it in the spirit of things 😁
I was reading through the comments waiting for someone to mention the naked bloke.
Someone came over to talk to him and he picked up a little towel. I thought was going to cover his bollocks. But no, he carried on chatting in the buff lol
Stumbled across this interview and what a class act this man is!! The word legend is used too frequently but in this instance it applies 10 fold! What a man!!!
Could have sworn i saw a naked man doing star jumps while they were interviewing Alan at 1m 30s, either thats got to be the most bizarre interview ever or i need to stop taking drugs!!
chris ward fukn right you are sir.
Must be temperature training
lol!!!!!
you're right,it is his da
I was going to ask if I was seeing things, such as a bloke with bugger all on in the background....... I take it I wasn't then...
Naked star jump man gets me every time 😂
Yeah wtf
HAHA
lol, 100%
Haha, was thinking the same thing!
You don’t see that at Fitness first?
I remember the day they filmed this..
I was doing star jumps in the nude then all of a sudden I had two half house bricks hit me in the sweed and I was carted off to hospital....strange day.
I love a good joke
😂😂😂
You see! It's PERFECTLY NORMAL to do star jumps stark bollock naked in the gym!! Fucking David Lloyd.....
numberstation lol. Funny guy.
Lmfao I saw the bloke then afterward he's like "it's a nice atmosphere here." I laughed so hard
What, does nobody else star jump naked? 😮😤
Hahaha 😂
Genuine old school hard man, earned his respect 👍🏻
I was a young lad who was seriously into my training and was in awe of this dude who was defo an inspiration to me , btw that was a great photo of him and Lenny McLean, no bully and a proper gentleman, rip Allan.
No roids just good old porridge oats and tap water
hahahah true
Yeah right. People have been taking roids for at least 70 years.
Tap water haha
@@tlig not the British, we are just build like that. Inner strength
@Aran Sharma big guys yes...I'm talking about the normal built guy who can out lift and move better than any sted head
He,s got some strength and dig on him.Can,t seen many who knew of his talents to want to go toe to toe with him. why have i just found this channel...subscribed
For those who claim that he was skipping leg day, Alan Crossley had won the Britain's strongest man competition in '84. You simply cannot be a top strongman and skip leg day. He was a real beast with functional power in all his body. He still punches like Deontay Wilder though :)
The fellers literally done calf raises, they must've missed that bit 😂
Calf raises just using body weight is the best way to grow your calves....mind you, you need to bang out a hundred reps in one go! Repeat that 3 times a week and you'll grow calves of a gladiator!@@craigdobson9068
@@craigdobson9068 Grade A morons is what they are.
Legs r everthing. No doubt u not winning w strong legs
Seems like a top man. Not many of his ilk around nowadays.
Oh btw that brick is still orbiting the earth as I speak.
Never mind the bollock naked bloke at the start, this man is a legend and a gentleman.
MADROCKS212 agreed
yeah what on earth, i just noticed
Some say those bricks he threw are still going through the sky till this day!
😂👍
They just landed in my garden .
This is the epitome of old school Hardman , fair natural build no juice here just a great work ethic the sweater is a masterstroke sweat like buggery his back is huge very well put together human really enjoyed watching this. Cheers 👍
He's admitted to using steroids in the bouncer documentary
I remember watching this when it was first shown years ago and I've never forgotten it. Fascinating to watch it now after all these years and listen to Allan talk about the thugs who carry knives ect, nothing changed, just more of it!
Tony Alles I recall watching this on telly too... Where did all the time go?
Worse now than its ever been.
Anyone know where I can watch the full documentary thanks
@@jamesedge270 That is the full programme. These 10 x 10 short films were on different obscure subjects each week.
@@tonmisty thank you for the info cheers
If you happen to be driving past that lake, take a wee look over and you'll see Alen on his record breaking 28year swim.
A genuine hard man and a gentleman. Today’s knife carrying plastic gangsters are pathetic.
These were men. The gangsters running around today are still children.

What a fantastic 9 mins. Proper hard man without any ego. Hope the big man is still doing well 30 yrs on.
Devout Catholic now. Lives a very pious life now apparently.
@@ADZ01982devout Christian, he’s not catholic.
@@untissify Passed away earlier this year. Hopefully happy up there.
This was recommended to me by UA-cam. I didn't know anything about this man before. And I love the natural - true - strength.
I have lost 227lbs since 2019. From 427 to 220. All of it was done with outdoor cardio and calisthenics.
But it takes a hell of a discipline. And in some cool ways, I get motivation from this class act of a fella. 🙏
Good work brother!
From my perspective as a skinny little four-eyed bloke, in my experience, this is the sorta fella who'd never pick a fight with me - I would feel completely safe having some beers with him.
Guys like him don't start fights, they break them up...and only get their hands dirty if it's absolutely necessary....Lenny McClean from what I gather was that way as well...they're only there for one reason and that's to protect regular people from bullies, cowards and losers (all one in the same) The ones who just go out to ruin everyone's night...it's only them who suffer in the end...
Yes. Men so hard they have literally nothing to prove
It's the little guy who can sometimes do the most damage. Always best to show respect until it goes south
As the other guy's said. People like this are not bullies at all.
I’ve not watched this since it was first put on TV back in 89, the scenes I’ve always remembered is the punch bag and diving into the lake but couldn’t remember who it was. Tough a straight up man, old school doorman showered no fear. I especially liked the training, I use lumps of metal on a old bar and use them to bench press and overhead press in my garden plus pick up heavy sacks and run with them,something very therapeutic about training outside (I don’t have a lake to swim in though). Many thanks for putting this up.👍💪
Love doing farmers walks outside with a water dispenser bottle in each hand.
Aparently, those bricks never returned to earth😂
Gordon mc phillips was waiting for " OUCH"
haha
😂😂😂
Lol😅
Allan Crossley was is a former British strongman competitor, notable for having won the title of Britain's Strongest Man, as well as having been both the British light-heavy and heavyweight arm wrestling champion and door man
Seemed like a decent fella....to be able to move that heavy bag like he was doing takes some power...
Half a heavy bag though wasn't it?
Lee reckons it's half a bag but the way he clobbered it and controlled it with his head impressed me for sure, sorry Lee
Was mates with Lenny McClean. Lenny was struggling for fights and Alan said he would fight him so they both got paid but Lenny didn't want to. Perhaps because they where good friends or Lenny had his doubts he could beat him we will never know.
@@ADZ01982There’s nothing to be gained from fighting against a friend.
Character this lad! Really enjoyed this short documentary,thanks
State of the art gym facilities! Complete with naked man wandering about!
I find this video to be oddly nostalgic. Times really have changed.
They don’t make em like that anymore,I refer to his jumper
The star jumper?
@@morals2 toughens the helmet
he upercut the hardest sheep for that jumper..
I had ones just like it when every mum and aunts and Nan knitted and sewed patches on ur jeans over throwing them away I’d swap and go back any day of the week
@@divins774 i was in me car other day sewing..police drove by side of me and officer shouted "pullover" i said "nah its gonna be a cardigan"
Jesus I remember this years ago it’s a pity Paul Sykes didn’t walk out half way through and talk about his council house
Back on the family patch !
@@BixbySnyder209 this is the nicest little spot on earth!!!!
It’s sharks 🦈
Didn’t know Dave beasant could have a tear up
Was he a goaly for Newcastle? Rings a bell now you mention it.
Neville blaaddy bartos
Saves penalties too from people with even worse perms
@@mannzymunster Haha he played for the toon. I met him on a stadium tour back in he 80s. He was a shite keeper as well.
🤣🤣🤣 Thats the one... couldn't remember his name
That was one of those unintentionally funny shows, like spinal tap, great stuff.
I'm popping to the gym myself, now where did I put my training knitted woolly jumper...
Superb! Ha!
I agree, but Alan is a tough nut & wore no woolly hat like I do!
Mark Turnbull turtleneck too
I sometimes wear a V neck woollen sweater with a roll neck underneath....
There's a guy in my gym looks exactly like Kevin de bruyner wears a green willy jumper, he is in good shape too
Butlin's up north looks a bit run down.
Butlins lol ... There a name i not heard in decades.
Jay M Ffs I nearly choked to death, nice 1👌
Delta Lima as in the brothers ?
Fuckin funny man, shit
@Jay M South Pole
That was hysterical! God I miss these days.. the lack of self awareness is great!
TBF the balls out geezer at 1:28 is also a legend!
I think you start off on the naked starjumps, then progress to 'Wooly jumper' and finally bench press the naked starjumper.
Fair play fuckn gentleman we could do with a lot more people with his mentality these days
Mark so true that mate need to bring back our old school men real tough men who had respect n showed respect not like these so called gangsters now they wouldnt know a old school straighner to buzy shootin n 10 onto 1 fights
Naked star-jumpers?
@@leelindo4483 You're a cringey fella.
@@videolad3057 you're a tool
@@the13thdukeofwybourne77 I'm not. I just find the idea of grown men idolising 'hard men' and writing wistfully about the good old days of 'straighteners' and 'respect' to be the height of cringe.
Why does that make me a tool? Have I offended you little Miss Snowflake?
The size of his back!!!!!! Wow he must hit like a train!!! Seems like a nice man unless you cross him and not a bully at all,good documentary 👍
"when im 60 will still knock these young kids out" reckon he would aswell .strong old school guy
Alan: I always loved big strong men.
2 seconds later: a man balls ass naked doing star jumps in the background 😂
I thought I was seeing things when I noticed that nude man in the background. What was that all about??
This man was a real hard man, it’s embarrassing for me to admit but me and 5 mates got absolutely out of order one night in London at the Hippodrome around 1985, not only did we all leave the club on our arse we got a fkin pasting in the process, after this we gained a healthy respect for this man along with the other 4 doorman at this club, please understand this club held over 1000 people with only 5-Doorman, security at clubs these days aren’t a patch on these guys.
Bobby Osram it takes a man to admit they are wrong. And to suffer a beating in such style can only be applauded.
@@ultraextreme8228 wahahaha. Ffs
Sounds like it was Lenny,Mickey and co.
@@mannzymunster You said it for me.
Didnt lenny kill a man once? Some people say bouncers were bullies back then I'd rather have the ones today who have rules but yeah ur right most of them are fannies in comparison to the 80s bouncers
The bloke in his nip doing jumping Jack's 😂
Naked star jumps would put me off benching.
I'm pretty baked... but.... I could have sworn there was a naked man casualy exercising in the back ground....
ian smith
ian smith
I thought he was shagging some woman at 2:03
dhalsim1 😂😂😂😂 mate I did wonder but he’s just stretching his calves. That got me
Next time the toilet is blocked.... I will call him.. he is a good log lifter!
The opening 'cardboard log' sketch...is hilarious and never fails. I remember Tommy Cooper doing it on TV....really funny.
4:43 Legend says those brick are still falling from the sky to this day...
I nicknamed Alan,,, the Irish incredible Hulk. As this is how I saw him inde 70s. Alan are you still Bouncing or retired? To me, my childhood was about 3 things. 1 the six million dollar man, 2 the incredible Hulk, and 3 ALAN CROSSLEY, hope spelt right. So enjoy life, and BE HAPPY FRIEND!!! GREETINGS FROM DUBLIN IRELAND...
If I'd of dived in that water I'd probably died of shock. Man just gone for a relaxing swim.
You’ve heard of cold water plunging? This guy was the inventor lol, RIP Allan
I don't know if it is just me ,but he seems a very quiet unassuming sought of guy and not the bullying type, although I wouldn't think he would suffer fools gladly either!.
And that, ladies and gentlemen is what makes a REAL man. You heard what he said about the "glassers" and knife merchants. Fuck them up good and proper to teach them a lesson they won't forget, be patient and reasonable with the ones who will listen and back down. Top bloke in my book.
Alan would stand on doors at clubs up in the city with my grandfather. He's told me stories of people pulling out all kinds of weapons and it always has the same outcome, they get launched out the club.
For sure mate beware of the dog dat doesn, t bark.
A real man doesn't involve himself in violence. Being a man isn't about how big you are or how many fights you've won. Being a real man is about looking after yourself, your family (if you have one) and doing something positive with your life. Being a brawler isn't about being a man, it's about being immature.
Exactly the type of bloke that feminists have tried to get rid of for years saying they embody toxic masculinity
Frank spencer with a affro
Justin H fucking brilliant
And on HGH lol
I'll let you tell him that Justin ;-)
And about an extra 60 kgs of muscle
Thanks for posting this.I knew Alan when he trained at Lou Revelles gym in Clare Court Judd Street near Kings Cross.A great character and of course incredibly strong but most of all a very articulate and decent bloke.I often wondered how he is doing.Hope still going strong.Cheers Jim
@ahmed immi khan Hope not.He worked tough environment so could be possible.He was decent guy with a heart of gold behind that tough exterior.
Look him up brother.
@@pod9538 Not sure where I'd look him up.I did try Facebook.Cheers Jim
He died June 2023
@@tonyjeffrey2159 Hi Tony, That's so sad.God Bless him.RIP.Thanks for letting me know.All the best.Jim
His perms harder than most of north east.
love this man he’s old skool no knives straight up toe to toe that’s how a real man fights with his hands and i bet he will be still knocking young bulls out when he’s in is 60s
Legend as it he is still in water till this day
If you want to learn about what respect is all about, these are the type of guys who have it.
We need a podcast of this mans life
if this hulk asked me to do something in that polite and hushed voice, i would certainly do that thing. not great technique, but fast enough and if he hits you, you'll stay hit for a bloody long time,. or longer. he not only dived into a freezing lake, he climed the railing for extra hight. legend.
Old school when shit was sorted properly. gangsters today knifing and throwing acid in people’s faces scared little boys playing at it
Yes, love to start the day with the old naked starjumps))
One guy trains in a sweater and another trains naked...
Yeah ones moving up to middleweight the others moving down to welter
😹👙
Can any one tell me why thers a man in tbe back ground doin star jumps with no clothes on
tarmac warrior I just clocked on to that 😂😂😂😂😂 fucking weirdo
yes I can, but I wont cos that's kind of guy I am
Yeah I don't know what kinda outside gym this is but I'm not into the naked jumping workout routine.
Because hes ARRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
That's the Gimp...they have to wake him up for documentries like this...lol
Trains in a wool jumper then jumps in a freezing pond ... That's hard enough for me lol
🤣🤣 spot on, solid mate true hardman!

Pub fight technique punching, but my god!! He hits like a fukin train!! That dude would ko king kong!!
That jumper must be fucking stinking 😤
Old style,for sure a tough man ,he is at home with the elements , something alot of the young lads today know nothing about,I used to train in a backstreet gym no heat the frost on the dumbbells on a winter evening you could see your breath when working the punchbag ,everyone that trained there were doormen and the craic was always great ,running in all types of weather hail rain or snow ,that's training ,brings back memories watching this
Agee totally, you go to the gym these days.....do you see even one guy exercising with his knob out?......Do you fuck.
You are 14 years old and you live with your mum. Shut up.
i think its organic to train like that
stone wall lying bastard
Any naked star jumping stone wall
Seems to be a very humble quiet guy still wouldn't want to owe him a fiver
he's got no style on that punch bag but fucking he'll he hits like a fucking train
David Pacifico like a fucking train haha!
You certainly wouldn't want to stand and trade with the guy that's for sure 😅
+Chicken chow Mein no you genuinely wouldn't would be like splitting blocks with your head
Charlie Bronson man like Charlie bronson my hero !
David Pacifico exactly what I thought, wild swings but you wouldn't want to get in the way of one
Watched this in '89 and have often thought of it... THANKS for upload. (from VHS?)
I remember seeing him in the bouncers documentary in 1999 he is a jolly good lad
Love this. I started lifting in the 70s when I was a teen. I trained in an old school powerlifting gym in an old shack with homemade kit and men who looked like actual monsters. It was a scary place and you'd get a punch or a kick if you failed a weight but it made you tough and pushed your limits. I still lift now at 60 in a gym in my back garden after winning many titles in strength events and powerlifting. Same routine now as it was when I was 16. Go heavy or go home. Still benching 200kg squatting 300kg and deadlifting 300kg albeit with wraps cause of arthiritis. Dont believe me then drop me a line and come and have a session.
Man thats impressive keep up the good 😊
The world needs Alan today ( oldskool)
....every neighbourhood had one back in the day...
Alan Lovely. Person. Keep on Trucking ❤
Not one of the kids I've seen in the gym recently could manage that walk outside in the cold.
Geezer was made out of girders.
That bricks just hit me on the head
FFS hahahahahaha
Great dive at the end , well played
I thought it was a porridge advert until I seen the naked man doing star jumps.
DORIAN the DETECTOR hah haaaaàaaaaàaaaaàahaaaaaaa !!!!! Nice one !!!!!!!
2:18 Today,s calf machine design has improved dramatically thanks to sound engineering design, Apparently a years membership was 2 cabbages and a bag of assorted sprouts, 50% reduction if you performed naked star jumps.
😅😅
That’s when men were men and sheep were scared.
Truly hard man and eloquent with it. Brains and brawn. Not too many like that today.
Dude hits like a freight train... true strong bloke without roids
Big Dan The Singer he hits hard but that form in the bag is shocking mate hed get ripped in a box gym
I thought that too but bear in mind that boxing's worth next to nothing in a street fight where you can grab hold of the cunt. Send Joe Calzaghe to have a fight with him and he'll just get bearhugged to death
ye think ;;;;i would say a lot of people thought that ok not prity but even if you catch this guy i would think he could take a good punch and keep at ye and a little head butt there too !
@Woody Rooper Joe Calzaghe fought at 12st so prob yeah...how about Lennox Lewis???
@Woody Rooper you said he would squash a 12st Joe Calzaghe, what about a 19st Lennox Lewis?
1:28 *just casually doing some naked star jumps*
Hes a proper mans man no bull shit like todays wanna be hard men no showing off posing in front of mirrors at the gym how many young blokes nowadays would train outside in the cold then take there clothes of and jump into a freezing cold river theyd start crying at the thought of it . This bloke is the real deal if you got hit by him it would be like getting hit by a freight train. As mick said to Rocky Balboa about clubber lang he will knock you into tomorrow Rock.
alright al....hope you well mate.....he used to train at hampstead. great bloke.
What a decent fellow. A good man to have your side
If one of those punches connected with you, you’d deffo wake up with a crowd around you.... if at all. Looks like the real deal.
K2 FU maybe not but I’m still pretty sure he’s a tough fucker.
If...
If he was taught to punch properly he would be terrifying. Don't get me wrong, i wouldn't want to eat one of his punches, but watch George Foreman hitting a heavy bag, and you will see what i'm getting at. If Alan had better technique he would bang much harder.
Are you asking if i'm American? No i'm not if that's what you're asking. I'm a boxing fan, and i can tell you this man has a shit punching technique. Scary amounts of power yes, technique none.
Mark Ottewell
You'd wake up with a crowd of ipones around you and no help.
Erm, some STRANGE moments in this.
Legend has it those bricks are still traveling
There’s no men around like that anymore. Real hard men back in the day who worked and trained very hard
Exactly brother. Especially the bloke jumping naked behind him. Extremely hard stuff
The knitted woollen jumper is actually a sweater
Gym...sweater...get it?
Fascinating documentary! Anyone know where I can get more information on this marvellous Strongman?
Classic, remember watching this late 80s
Hefty right hook! 💪
Aye uve got to be hard to do 20 star jumps with your boaby out in the freezing cold!
Would love to have seen this guy and Bartley Gorman having a scrap 😊
Suddenly morphs into the southern comfort guy in the budgie smugglers!
I trained a few times with Al back in the late 70's down at the Heath and I can testify that his idea of performance enhancing aids was a pint or two of Guinness. We also went together [twice] to the US but that's another story
Got any interesting stories about him ?
What happened
No
He openly admits to taking steroids when competing in the worlds strongest man competition as everyone else was on them
