Having watched many of these kinds of videos this man seems the most honest and decent out of them all
Flat Cap and driest
This is the Real Deal. Eric Mason was a man that could back-up what he said. Respect...👏
Mason was one of the quietist but most dangerous men of his era. He needed no back up off anyone. A true gentleman.
What about it ? Fraser wasn't on his own, contrary to what he said. Eric was a handful for anybody one to one. And most men sustaining the sort of injuries Eric suffered would have gone screaming to the law,, Eric didn't !!!
Anthony Donnely
If he was so dangerous why did he let Fraser get away with maiming & nearly killing him haaa
Anthony Donnely All storys told by ACTORS.its not REAL ALL MADE UP BULLSHIT.why use kieth chegwin then with face prosphetics and make up.
Paula Jewitt how do you know Cheggars wasn't the real hard man?
What a Quality guy Eric is , RIP Eric, a Gentleman and a dying breed , loved this man 👌
This man was my uncle. Sadly he's passed away now but we talk about him often.
Seemed a very likeable man, RIP Mr Mason
Sori 4ur loss RIP Mr Mason
Seems a nice guy.
Condolences to his family.
R.i.P Mr Mason.
How long ago did he pass away?
Mad Frank would be 100 now if he was still alive, so i'd assume Mr Mason would be about 96
Give over not another one he must have had about 200 brothers and sisters eh you probably do talk about him though no doubt
Reminds me of my dad , quietly spoken and unassuming fella . RIP Eric.
My neighbors Grandfather came to the States from London to let the heat die down and he never left.. He told us this man here was VERY well respected and one of the most dangerous men of his era.
Was this Florida or LA?
Yeah my grandads' uncle-in-laws' cousins dog said the same.
I believe this guy before i believed anything Frankie had to say.
Nebula same 😂👌
Yes you can see that this guy is a real hard man and he is 100% honest...respect from Glasgows south-side
Dart Southall I’ve seen loads of interviews on Frazier nobody liked him and nobody respected him . Loads of people said he was very two faced .
Dart Southall Fraser was only mad if you were tied to a chair with a dozen heavies backing him up, even then he’d need a tool to do the business.
Mark Davids yh but it doesn’t matter. The goal is to cause harm to someone you don’t like, not get respect from people on RUclips 20 years later.
Really honest guy, he is right Fraser is a liar and lives in a fantasy word.So glad you got a good life nor Eric, well done mate.
you know when someone is for real this guy is for real respect to him
+shaun kingdon bang on mate..u rite !
+shaun kingdon agree m8/tell instantly hes not bs,seems like a decent guy.
+shaun kingdon Sorry mate. There are so many people really worthy of respect! Read about men and women who commit their lives to others, rather than violence!!
This guy has that look in his eyes that tells you not to mess with him
andy t are u talking about marriage?? Lol
The truth always rises to the top. RIP Eric. A real geezer!
@@carnmarth334 whats wrong with it?
Give this man a glass of water
Man smoked huge bowls before this.

RIP Eric' Top man and looked after Jimmy when he was down. Not to mention what you done for mcvicar. Any trouble and they came to you for help. Freddie foreman respected you so that says it all for any 🐍🐍 Sleep easy Eric🏆
"Iron him out"
I love that term
trevor phillips they were a different breed pal
And " a straightener " & " a right hander "
A real cockney hard man. Not like these over grown toddlers now
Mason used to look out for working girls in London, he had integrity and was a genuine tough guy.
What is a genuine tough guy?
@@blueshirtman8875 someone who is genuine and tough?
@@richarddavies5674 and a guy
A pimp is the lowest form of life. These gangsters are all fuckin animals. Ponces.
could listen to this guy all day.great channel
Cheers appreciate that
You can tell he is a genuine man
Genuine man and weren’t after the limelight says it how it is
Rip Eric. 🙏🏻
Weren’t after ???
Hmmm?
A man amongst men Deep RESPECT.💯✊👍
well respected and genuine bloke
My wife's late uncle took a ball pein hammer to the head in glasgow in the 50's. three on one. Put him in hospital for 6 months,18 months later he saw the bloke one on one, said the bloke cried like a baby when he knew he was in for a shellacing, he put him in hospital for 2 years. He never found the other two blokes.
Eric Mason died about three years ago, definitely before Fraser. Eric's book is a good read.
“My hand was actually pinned to my head”
Dear lord this is so brutal
I’ve never heard anyone say a nice thing about Fraser.They can’t all be lying.
Frankie Fraser has the kindest eyes I ever saw in my life. There you go. ;)
Frankie Fraser was stunning and brave
He reminds me of my mates dad when we were younger,quiet and relaxed and a regular guy, but alot of people find out the hard way that the old saying "the quiet 1s u gota watch" is very true.
Very quiet softly spoken gentleman, usually the most dangerous of them all.🙏🏴
Just stumbled onto this video. He seems a genuine hard nut and a quick google confirmed it! You just know he is genuine from the start and had a crazy life. His eyes say it all.
A good man, best wishes from Liverpool.
this guy is hard core. He is the real deal.
met Eric in torquay,he was staying in a guest house,a fascinating character xx
Well I'm staying in a fucking guest house in Torquay.
A true gentleman. Good.Bless you sir.
great channel liam ..... good viewing
+fitman42 cheers appreciate it
Hes right about fraser being a misfit of a boil on society
Yeah and this twat is a real nice guy fuck off !
“My hand was actually pinned to my head”
WHAT! That’s some next level horror movie shit, Fraser was a fucking loon
A real hard man doesn’t have to brag and make up stories a real hard man has nothing to prove and he knows it, This man is an old school hard man that younger men could learn a lot from, He acts and talks like a Gentleman no effin and Jeffin he doesn’t need to, He’s the sort of bloke that if he’s your friend you have a loyal friend for life who would do anything for you, Certain others who have been on film shouting their mouths off are not a patch on this man and men like him.
Really interesting lnterviews Liam.
Cheers appreciate that
A nice guy, I feel sorry for what he went through, way more of a man than Frankie (short arse) Fraser would ever be.
Nice guy? You don't have a clue. Tell that to the family members of the people he robbed at gunpoint and slashed their faces. Idiot.
More inclined to believe Eric Mason over his version as he is a Gentleman. I had read his book The Eric Mason Story and was gobsmacked. Frankie Fraser makes it up as he goes along. Sadly the Underworld of the 60s is just that! God bless them all bad or good.
Frank Fraser tells pork pies he was terrified of the krays but says he wasn't ect he's a little liar... mason is telling the truth as he was part of the krays which means he was respectful and honest
Chatting shit mate ! Fraser didn't give two shits about those couple of bum boys. In fact Ronnie tried recruiting Frasier for a couple of years because they knew what a lunatic he was..
Very interesting interview, you really feel the hatred he has for Frazer. It is much more interesting hearing someone else's take on what happened than listening to someone blowing their own trumpet. I believe this guy.
I have read two Kray's bio's but I recently read a book written by Bobby Teale, this is the guy who basically got the Kray twins arrested and banged up. Some people might call him a grass but read the book, if the Krays were treating your family like that, what would you do. It's very interesting and honest story. It paints a very different picture of the Krays than the one we all normally hear.
Garry Marti
Yeah Eric is real deal, mates with Blackpools tough man. Did a benefit show for him before he sadly passed away.
Real fighting man of the old days. proper gentleman wonder if he’s still about would like to have met Eric. Proper legend
Eric shown me an article about this in 1 of those lads mags like FHM or LOADED or Q years ago and told me the exact same thing he's said here we were in the hat and feathers pub in Manchester at the time.
Great channel Liam keep up the great work buddie.
Really appreciate that cheers mate
Liam Galvin great work Liam...
Didn't brag a true gent who took no prissoners. .respect
Great channel you've got Liam.
slash46xx Cheers much appreciated we're having a go
Good vidio respect to to this man you know by just watching him hes not lying one bit RESPECT..
Eric Mason seems to me to be the most honest 'gangster' of his era.A proper geezer.
Check out Albert Reading. Of the same ilk.
Top top channel. Keep up the good work Liam All the best.
+lee johnson Cheers really appreciate it
+Liam Galvin just read your book about my family friend Stephen Sayers. Great book about my end of town West end boys to it best Your book is the only book I've picked up and not put down till I was finished. Class read.
+lee johnson Hi Really appreciate that but can't take credit it for that - the biography was done by my mate Steve Wraith with Stuart Wheatman and Rebecca Sayers. It's a good read.
+Liam Galvin yeah mate forgot to mention stevie etc All the best Liam. 👌🏻👌🏻
Great channel Liam. Lovely poignant interview with Eric Mason. Seems like a genuine guy. Keep up the good work.
+gudlad61 Thanks really appreciate it - thanks for watching
what do u believe about the krays and all of this . where is the truth. or are they all chronic liars.
@@LiamGalvinFilm well done Liam, very good channel mate
This man seams very genuine to me
Sadly. Missed. A great friend was Eric. As for Fraser. He was a cowardly little shit. Who would only attack someone as long as he had tools in his hands. And more than often from behind. Or if they were being held. I could say a lot more. as I was there. But leave it to others. And let you all make up your own minds.
Mate from a man like you who has been there and done it, how would a guy like me go about looking for work ? I'm 35, 6"4' and 18st and can put myself to good use, I just need an employer but an unofficial employer if you get what I mean. Do you know any particular places that are best to go to or be around to find any such employers ? I am not trolling or messing you around, I am 100% serious.
@@mattevans923 Sounds like you want to be a worksman. You sound like a shade aswell, 2bh.

@@davidmasterson3364 No worksman or pig police scum here soblia, just a builder who wants a little bit of adventure in his life ! You wouldn't be able to handle me as your worksman, you have to make me your worksman first and I aint a dosser lol, plus you couldn't afford me with your slave labour wages 👍🏻
@@ifwordswerebulletswaaarpoe6709 How can I contact you, or you contact me, Facebook Matthew Evans from London.
Why did Fraser have to buy an axe to attack Mason with in the first place ? Because he was incapable of overpowering him on a one to one basis, he had to have a lethal weapon to give himself that kind of advantage in the first place.
But some people do that! Some people take it to the level! Avoid those people! Avoid bad mouthing them! He described MFF stabbing his friend...
He never said he would fight fair
Can't believe the amount of comments on this one, perhaps it is because he is just telling the truth. very enjoyable.
Well Said Mr Mason 😎👊
Eric Mason was a proper face & a genuine hard man. A lot of bollox being written on here by people who ain't got a scooby.
true hard as unlike fraser
Yet Fraser fucked him right up & Eric had medical repercussions for the rest of his natural life & Fraser didn't...
he might of been harder, but fraser didn't give 2 fucks
And he would have done you too!
Pound4Pound KO aye I like to read about it but people on here slagging folk off is disrespectful and rather foolish
Bless you
A Quiet and Descent Honourable Man . Principles and a Code of Conduct being the watch WORD . Bless His Honest Heart 💝💝💝 Mark
He called the man who saved his life a 'tramp or something' lol

I was shaving at 7

I believe this man....sounds like a genuine man....
I met frankie Fraser through this man in the hat and feathers pub in Manchester with the man who played DI Burnside in the Bill with my Dad around the time he told this story in GQ magazine in the early 2000s and they were kinda friendly with each other then, only reason Fraser was in the pub was to meet Mason.
Seems to me to be a down to earth man genuine and could obviously look after himself may He RIP
I saw Frankie Fraser on a bus in the Old Kent Road a number of years ago (more than 10). He was a little frightened old man by then. Two "hard" boys went up to speak to him, and he nearly shat himself with fear.
I put this down to him being an old man, but listening to this, it seems that possibly, he was only tough when his victim couldn't fight back?
In his day Fraser didn't think twice about using a razor, a hammer, revolver or hatchet. He was probably hoping not to get the same treatment
@@Beesa10 Possibly. He was an old man when I saw him, though. I doubt anyone would be offering him anymore danger than anybody else is vulnerable to in London. I can understand what you're saying though - he was probably so used to thinking the worst of everyone around him.
@@EVITANDY If you do those type of things you will forever have to sit with your back against a wall.
Seems highly believable.
"We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell."
Oscar Wilde.
I see some of Frasers family in Brighton.
He was a certified nut in his day. Like all things these stories go like Chinese whispers.
What a legend. Eric mason proper fighting man. Straight talker tell like it is. I know who I’m More inclined to believe. Wonder if he’s still about. loved to meet him and shake he’s hand. What a gent. Last of the proper tough men.
Shake his hand what for just cos he was hard oh no ive got sick in ma mouth .grow up
A good man Mr Mason!
I can’t believe he thought he’d get a fair fight, alone, against that lot
He seems genuine .
RIP Eric ✝️
You can tell this guy has been through some "stuff" that look is not fake you can't fake realness look him up..big up Liam channels class
Cheers really appreciate that
Genuine, good bloke
This is a real hard man 👊🏻 💯
Why would you ask them for a fight and then get in the back of their car
That's what I thought,you'd just say 'takes that many does it,let's do it fair,just one of You'd if it did happen that way it's a bit stupid isn't it.He seems like a nice fella though
He meant Frazier and one other drive somewhere,an he smash the pair of m ,cos his friends were stabbed up,and the old bill were outside with gremlin Frazier n co, so the 3 of us will get in the car and half a mile away il stand all over your head and Fraziers face is goin through that concrete wall🤨🤨🤨 Frazier was a toe rag,he ruined that mans life,and others,he was a small man in a gang,that stole a couple a shops, sad really, that a good bloke i reckon
I could easily fall asleep listening to his voice!
yeah keep it up mate your obviously a gentleman .
unfortunately a dying bread , it's been a pleasure hearing your interview .....
Real Fuckin England !!!!!
Respect ....
steven halliday who Frazer?
Liam Galvin , Think i've watched pretty much all your crime related vids now, all i've enjoyed, but i can't recall seeing you interview Freddie Foreman, shame really as for me personally, he's the genuine mccoy.
I know there is a dvd interview with him, but i'm sure if you could get one more interview with him, there would be plenty more stories to tell as the dvd duration wasn't that long.
A lot of these old school gangsters are no longer with us, thankfully Foreman is and probably has still got a very good and informative interview in him.
Have filmed Fred Foreman quite a few times & done short interviews but never an in depth one which I'd like to do - I'll see if I can sort it - here's a few small pieces I've done with him - thanks for watching - ruclips.net/video/QWpuxAPRjxE/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/Ejx203QFEOc/видео.html
Agree with you foreman is a absolute legend. I have the DVD interview very interesting. Yes need more interviews with him!
great channel liam any videos on the scottish gangsters he mentioned
No not yet - really appreciate you watching - cheers
Met this gut in 1995 absolute gentleman RIP pal
Gentleman my fucking ass a stupid murdering thug
Name someone he has murdered.
Nice one eric,bang on.
Respect.....
100% respect
Respect what goes around comes around
Quietly spoken, calm delivery of the story, not like Frankie Fraser whom gives it some blah blah blah.
Knew Eric and he’s telling the truth . Fraser wouldn’t have lasted a minute against Eric . The incident mentioned needed about 8 of Frasers mates to fight him . Eric was a true gent but a very hard man . Unlike Fraser who was nothing more than a midget and got caught for everything he ever did . 47 years in prison explains it all , Fraser was nothing but a fall guy to be used . Eric was a true gent .
Legend. Respect
Respect to you sir
I have red nothing but good things about this gentleman in numerous "Krays" related books & Frank the WANK couldn't lace Eric Masons boost
in a heartbeat la
Maybe he didn't want to lace up Masons boost (whatever that is) but he did want to hack at his hands & legs with an axe & then leave it buried in his head....chortle
Chopper you obviously look up to cowardly fucks,chopper? more like fucking tosser,"chortle"
Listen in From Manchester and a lot of our older guys know Eric.Like most peaple he's disliked by a few but well liked by most.Hes classed as an alright fella,he wasn't top of the tree but he was one of the lads in his day and most liked him.You always get peaple mouthing others usually to hide their own shortcomings.Eric was liked and Brain Dunn(the bear)Spoke well of him when I was a kid.
anythingandeverything In some cases the word "chopper" is used in place of prick. So it would be appropriate for someone who thinks a coward like Frank the Wank was a good bloke
It's a mere point of difference. There stories aren't different. Whether Fraser is a small guy or not, he still has balls
You can tell this traumatised him a bit
Yeah definitely
I am not condoning being a gangster, but i found this gentleman, very likable.
Eric your a diamond geezer, pity Fraser never got wasted, certain pepole still idolise the nutter, Should have put him down when he was inside.Never mind Eric your still here to tell the truth, regardless. what. Fraser might say.Sad to know your health has suffered. Eric, peace, peace. me old fruit, like i said Diamond geezer.
This guy is genuine.RIP Eric.
I never met eric mason but my grandad knew him when they were younger plus knew many of the others after being in and out of prisons around country . i became friends with Eric's son Jeff when i moved to cheltenham in 1994 and worked with him several times jeff is a nice great bloke .
RIP Eric gone but never forgotten
just subscribed!!! this is a great site👍👍
Cheers mate appreciate that
The Geek waiter he says Frankie Did in Southport was Peter Johannides , ( Peter the Greek , family friend) card dealer at the Horseshoe Club ( Ted's Shed, a blaggard's den that fell into disrepair in 70's and is now an Uzbekistan run car wash ).anyway, story goes... Frankies having no luck and he's getting a bit of banter off the others and just out the blue, glasses Peter , proper coward job, and Peter was a well respected man with a fucking temper that was like a Volcano
How that little bastard got out alive is still a mystery.
The Horseshoe... only one bog and it had a corrugated iron door.
Don't think for one moment that this was some glamorous setting.
You'd find better on the Oregon Trail.
I like the way you write. You'd probably make a better ghost writer of these guys books than the pro writers who do it.
He. Seemed like a nicebloke Eric. Frankie Frazier wants to withdraw the pin. In it.
Someone get him a drink of water 😂😂💦
I said the same! The gezzers got dry mouth from the beak.
I don’t understand how he never got to Fraser after that night?? Surely they crossed paths? Surely he could have found him even? Had someone done that you wouldn’t just “leave it”. This part of the story I struggle with. Frankie may well have sold a yarn about what happened and he may well have rejected the Krays help but it still doesn’t explain why he did nothing about it? All those years and nothing? He says in this interview he’s moved on but he would have been paid during this time for “talking about it”.x
