Gotta agree good in-depth interviews
Brilliant to listen to from start to finnish..
@@JamesEnglish glued know james pal all goog big man
Met Noel while in prison in the 90's @ Highdown. I had never been in trouble before so speaking to him and hearing his stories back then helped me understand the life of crime. I left 9 months later and thanks to Noel's words I never returned to prison or a life of crrime again. I did write a few times, and have a typed short story of his (if he reads this maybe he will remember - "The avenging angels in blue"). Tried to keep a lookout for what he has been upto since he got released and this was a great find. Thx Noel for your words back then.
Good on you mate
Don't talk shit
He a wanker anyway funny how he never a gun
@@OasisWullie1872 shut up

Tom kelly Eire for Eire!!🇮🇪

I shouldn’t laugh but that table tennis story had me in stitches 😂 top bloke fair play to ya big fella
That little dot on the wall behind Noel’s head Keeps on making me think there’s something on my phone xD

Oh shit I was looking for the spot ur on about as I'm trying to rub the spot off,then I realized what u were on about lol
Same!! 🙄🤣😂
Haha same🤣🤣🤣
One of the best interviews I've ever seen, hats off to you James and also to Mr Smith.
Best interview I’ve seen brutally honest fella
Cheers brother
The thing I like about interviews like this, is that everyone gets something out of it.
First class. Subscribed
Unbelievable what a life ,the strength of this man in mind and body is unparalleled
After all his been through his still so sharp
Given a standing start in life with the privileged this man would run rings around them.
God Bless
Yeah, sociopaths tend to die out strong.
Steven Goldman do you know the man personally
As he made my first adult sentence liveable
Steven Goldman yes!
Give a man a gun he can rob a bank, give a man a bank he will rob the world Xx
Lol, ain’t that the truth
So true
The elites have done that for centuries. ...and still are..
There's 2 realities
There's and ours
They have the money which buys anything and everything....
Love from Ireland 🍀
That's a good one :D
I like that😷👍👏👏
Best comment I've ever read about crime and the supposed 'clean' world of banking. Bankers are definitely the biggest robbers out there, they love nothing better than destroying people with poxy credit cards, high interest loans, business loans, mortgages etc. Dozy Muppets like that engineered the last recession and are no doubt licking their skanky lizard like mouths at the global recession this Coronavirus Lockdown has created! Globally businesses will close, people will lose their homes, people will lose their jobs but you can bet the bankers will make a literal killing from all this!
Loved that interview James. I hadn't heard of him before, but you can tell he is a real one. Nothing seemed exaggerated or gratuitous bravado. What an amazing transformation. Great work. Bless up bro 👊
❤️
Good old South London boy right there. Great interview James
Graham Jonathan thanks graham
Great interview. I read Noel's first book about 10 years ago and wondered what had happened to him. I'm glad to hear he is out and doing well. Greetings from Joburg!
You just made my day James. Very pleasantly surprised when I found out who was on. Read Noel’s book ‘ a few kind words and a loaded gun ‘ years ago and it was one that I couldn’t put down. It’s good to know he’s changed it all around and he’s obviously on good form. Excellent interview James. I agree one of the best shows you’ve done. Massive thanks pal.
Just lying down listening to your story. It's easy to look down at criminals and prisoners but you make it really clear that it could happen to anyone... but for the grace of god that could have been me!!! Thanks for teaching me a valuable lesson!!! All the best to you sir!!!
How he a criminal you won't happen if you don't cause trouble
A brilliant 2 hours ..watched it 3 times over 6 months .. quality .
My heart went out to him @1:21:44. R I P his son .
Another amazing guest James .
Thanks d x
I’m so glad you made this interview I did suggest it a few months back.. brilliant mate .. spot on
With a name like that i'd imagine you've done a few heists.
One or two
An amazing story, very moving and also inspiring to hear such a heroic tale of redemption
I first read Noel's book (a few kind words and a loaded gun) back in about 2005 when it came out. Even then, I thought... what an incredible story. Even more, what an incredible story TELLER. To think that he would become a successful author and celebrated writer, is inspiring. The book is absolutely amazing.
Best pod cast I’ve seen never so shocked and laughed so much with his accounts of his life
Been wanting to see Noel interviewed for years. Read his books a few years back. What a story both funny and tragic at the same time. Huge respect for ya Noel been through the system and all it has thrown at ya. Great to see and hear you recounting the stories I've read in the books and to see your out enjoying ya life, power to you pal.
Thankyou for getting this interview done and posting on your channel James. Brilliant stuff 👍👍
Great interview. I wish Noel and the best for the future. Shows you that you can still turn your life around. A really fascinating story. Could not stop watching the interview. What a life.
what a life story, iv watched a alot of these interviews that james does from characters iv followed for years but this ones got to be the best and iv never even heard of this guy.
The very highest respect to this man for changing things around what a story amazing, the naked truth unvarnished
Definitely agree, Noel was one of your best Podcasts, from the start to the finish, really interesting.
What an interview.Great story teller could listen to this guys story's all day.Another belter James
Loved every minute of this interview. Seems like a really nice fella wish him all the best for the rest of his life 👍🏻
Emotional. Had a tear or two drop for him. You really know how to interview James, great summaries, great questions, manners, humour but most of all respect and highlighting achievements. Superb!
Being stuck inside and getting that bad news must have been horrendous! I’m so glad u turned a traumatic experience into something positive.
great interweiw james
fair play to noel !! in those days you had to do what you did
we had loads of good lads from ireland in birmingham who i grew up with and we all got on sound
all the best noel im one of the ones what got away !!
yes noel the old bill use to love to dish it out as we all remember son !!!!
warm regards jamesey
Fantastic interview, easy listening, It is great to see a man turn his life around!
Thanks 👍🏼
Firstly Congratulations on reaching 30K Subscribers i have been spreading the word for a long time and hope this channel keeps going from strength to strength, this Podcast was first class and Noels journey and the way he has turned his life around gives hope to anyone that you can do it no matter how bad your situation.
My favourite true crime book is " a few kind words and a loaded gun", none of the usual super gangster bullshit. Great interview.
Great interview, comes across as a bloke you could sit down have a pint and a good laugh with. Hope life keeps treating him well these days because he deserves it 👍 would like to see you interview the boxer Scott Harrison.
Phenomenal interview..
I have yet to be disappointed with this podcast.. cheers m8..
This was a great episode James . Noel is a legend could listen to his aul yarns all day long . ✌️✌️
Love the fact I discovered this channel by complete accident.
Would love to see more football related ones but they are all brilliant. I loved the Andy Goram one
Road Warrior thank you
check out Open Goal with Si Ferry.
Has he ever interviewed any former football hooligans?
@@j-boogiebrown9961 if you search in mate he's done one with Jason marriner I think it was football hooligan
That mark
On the wall behind noel
Had me cleaning my screen a couple times... good story teller 👍🏼
Sadly this Mans story is repeated all over the world, mostly in working class areas.
Upper class just rob everyone & get away with is, as they are BANKERS ...... W ⚓️ in my opinion.
@@DMWBN3 Agreed, the upper class are the biggest robbers of all. Look at the royal family for example, robbed the public of around £60 - £100 MILLION PER YEAR of taxpayers hard earned money. And all they do is parade around doing nothing but living their privileged lives while acting holier than thou. They should lock up the royal family and throw away the key. Put the queen in solitary confinement for the rest of her days.
You're misunderstanding me, I was not having a go at the working class, I'm working class myself. I was simply saying these things happen mostly in poor working class areas where there are no real opportunities for people to better themselves.
@@highflyguy1 Thick as shit they couldn't grasp what you meant which was clearly obvious. I agree. Poverty breeds crime and the cycle goes on until Jesus is fucking found.
‘I was willing to admit to starting the second fucking world war ‘ - this had me cracking up
Could listen to this guy for hours. Really interesting, great interview.
bought his book about 10 years ago from tesco. fucking good read and good insight. a few kind words and a loaded gun.
A well written book have read it 3 times. Andy England
Good read, this is the first I’ve seen or heard of him since reading his book, wish him all the best.
@@andrewdaley3081 really 3X?
@@soulsis6562 yes really three times. 🇬🇧👍
I have to say. This may just be one of the best interviews I’ve ever witnessed. And I’ve witnessed many. An avid interview fan lol. This guy can tell a story alright. He’s quick, concise , to the point and unintentionally hilarious. I was also cracking up so don’t feel bad James. Also, you barely interrupt him and let him tell these magnificent stories from other times.
I’ll say again. This guy can seriously tell a story very well. He could do audio books.
Thanksb
Absolutely by far the best life story in the series. Great character. Good on you Noel.
👍🏼
I read Noel’s book around 20 years ago, it was a great read and one of the first books I finished in a week. it’s good to hear him speak all these years later.
A pleasure to know Noel, and to witness the hard work he put into his personal change. A powerful portayal of one man's motivation to succeed outside of criminal activity.
A belter of a listen James deffo one of the top podcasts you have done .
Used to read alot of stuff about this guy when I was in jail yrs ago. Very interesting guy.Shown some strength and willpower to get himself out of prison and do as well as he has! Respect Noel.
James English thanks for an amazing interview and Respect to both men
Thanks brother
This is my favourite one yet.... No bullshit from Noel just matter of fact telling it like it is. Brilliant story
Cracking podcast James. I agree with your comments. 1 of the best interviews I have seen you do. Had me glued for the full 2 hours. Well done James and well done Noel. Am going to have a look for his books now. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was brilliant i found him so calm and relaxed another fantastic podcast razor
Awesome,couldn't stop listening to Noel's story.
Thanks Noel.
Thanks James.
Incredible podcast again!! Deffo one of the best so far, gonna need a part 2 i say 👀
Absolutely magnificent Interview...The funny stories had me in stitches, but hearing about his son dying hit me so hard, just that pause Noel did, u can feel all the emotions flooding back to him....Hope he is Living a great life and is in good health....He's a proper Geeza, I'd listen to him all day and learn from him😊
It's so sad and ironic that police harassment was the reason he got turned into a criminal. Good for Noel turning his life around!
👍🏼
I am completely hooked on these podcasts! Gone from Marvin Herbert part2 to Yammy B to here....great stuff!
👍🏼
This is incredible. The best watch on RUclips. Love this podcasts. Helps me mentally
👍🏼
Looking forward to part 2, can't help but be impressed by the resilience of Noel after a system that failed from day one, another top podcast James 👍
Thomas Hand cheers mate
Great podcast! Noel is a brilliant story teller. Happy he has turned his life around.
Thank you
Fantastic interview and what an interesting person. Thanks for doing what you're doing James, keep up the great work!

fascinating better than almost anything I have ever seen on mainstream tv.
rudymarleyaskit 👍🏼
Razor smith is one of the most intelligent prisoners ever and he done loads of jail for things he didn’t do //

I could listen to him all day what a man good interview 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 roll on 5pm
Razor smith is a Really nice fella and what a story he had to tell,,

God bless you Razor smith best of luck to you and your family,,
I am addicted to your podcasts - amazing
Thanks Craig 👍🏼
What a bloke. Can't believe I've only just found this podcast. I read Noels first book years ago and loved it. Noel is a fucking hero. Not from what he used to be, but due to the turn around. He showed change can happen. When you're an alcoholic and at you're lowest, hearing stories like Noels and his transformation is so reassuring. Let's face it, Noel was just an addict too, his drug of choice being the buzz from his crimes. What's mad for me is that my life turned around when I started writing. Basically mirroring Noels own life. So, through all your victims Noel, consider this life one you helped get back on track. For that sir, I am forever grateful. Best wishes mate. And thank you James for this, loved every second!
I normally struggle to pay attention to films shorter than this! what an interesting guy, the time flew by!
👍🏼
Best podcast I’ve listened to Noel’s story is very interesting. He should definitely bring a film out about he’s life
Read his book 10 year ago in Polmont it’s called ‘A few kind words and a loaded gun’ great book it is 👏
If we could get Noel and Joey Diaz to do a podcast that would be perfect.
Joey would snort him without realising.
He'd never understand him
chin chilln Diaz is a proffesional bull shitter , he just sits there and makes stuff up
Fuck Joey Diaz
housecarl6 u talk so much shit hahah
Best podcast yet James. Class mate what a story 👍
Noel has completely distorted my idea of what a psychopath is meant be. He comes across as a really nice guy.
I have been to all the Jails he speaks of but 10 years later, brings back all the memories of the Borstal days.
Noel is a fantastic role model. He seems like a really great guy, really genuine and authentic. I read his first book, I enjoyed it a lot.
Very good. You could listen to this man all day.
Totally agree with James, definitely 1 of the best podcasts I've listened to on this channel, best of luck to noel with everything he does, and top interview by a top man, keep it up James 👍
Thanks herby
This is one of the best podcasts I've seen in a long time
👍🏼
One of the best interviews from both parties.
