You can’t beat old school gangsters. I met Ronnie when I was working undercover. Not on the Charley Kray job but a bank Job he and others were planning. Ronnie and his mates were proper Gents and good company. I will buy his book. Joey Pyle was a legend around Carshalton and Sutton. Good luck for the future. Another great interview James xx
Absolutely loved watching this interview, could listen to Ron all day dropping all those big names seeing his eyes light up remembering core memories..what a chap and still looking sharp, definitely lost a bloody good generation of well dressed gentleman that's for sure!
I would love to go on 1 of these pod casts, I'm a no one, not famous or f all, but I've got some great stories about my life, from late 80s as a kid, 90s as a teenager 00s in my 20s, volience, addiction, parenthood, from a council estate, up to date real stuff, james give me a go bud you would love it, 100% would need min of 2hrs, you defo would relate and your followers would love it, proper council estate life, proper ppl, massive family 1 of 8, how life really was growing up 80s 90s up to now.
Proper gentleman, proper gangster...not like these modern 'gangsters' who go around calling each 'fam' and 'blud' and carry 'zombie knives' down their trousers, nothing more than cowards..!!
Could listen to these old school gangsters talk all day about their hay day. I just find it so fascinating. Such a different time. Looking smart with the suit too! Another great episode!
Growing up in south east London when the whole community lived by the code of the east end was brilliant, shame we are a dying breed now, got little mugs on bikes snatching peoples phones. In the old days they would get a slap from the community.
Absolutely loving your channel James. I think it would be good if you put a pic of some of the guests when they were younger just to get a bit more background ❤I'd love to see what Ronnie looked like back in the day.😊
Done a bit in Leeds? Did Ronnie know Ray Callaghan AKA Harry O who also did safes and a lot more. The story that Roy Chubby Brown told about the true old villains from Leeds who blew the tree up as a joke was a real story, he was one of the old villains and it was him who got the gelly to blow up the tree. He told me the true story which was even better than Chubby's version and no wonder he was half deaf. He was a villain since the war years and was well-known, a real character and was a really good close friend of mine. RIP auld Ray as we called him and very well respected.
A true Gentleman thoroughly enjoyed this story of real life no BS it shows how bad things are with the lunatics running amok nowadays the likes of Ronnie Field would make great school teachers educating the young on having a moral compass, more of this James.
Really enjoyed this proper old school gentleman 👍 When gansters were real not like todays lot running round stabbing people over nothing ! Not many left now thats for sharing your story 👍
Interesting listening to Ronnie. Really nice man no bull , no boasting, I’m definitely gonna read his book . Met a guy one time told me he was the biggest gangster in London , thought he was lying back then , now I know 💯 he was lying 😂.How Ronnie says he thought his book wouldn’t be interesting says it all for me . I wish him years of happiness and peace and wonga😂 Good luck Sir 😘
Added enjoyment for me this one - Ronnie's from my neck of the woods and I drink in some of those pubs today. As soon as he said "Tescos in Sutton" I was like WTF 😂
Can't help but like my fellow South Londoner.I like his humour and his wise chuckles. Don't agree that 99% of Men want to be gangsters even though I grew up next to the largest Council Estate in Northern Europe at the time and yet in my 29 years there and 41 further years,11 miles away,I me or my Grammar Schools mates and most Men I have met in my 70 years have no desire at all to get involved however fascinating we found it. There does appear a common theme where there has been abuse in their childhood or from a chaotic background. I would love to chat and listen to him while walking my 6 dogs:)
People pretended they were nuts to get there thinking they would shorten their sentence. You should do an interview with Jon Ronson the author who wrote "The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry and also The Men Who Stare at Goats. I think he did other stuff too?
Old School at its best 🏴💙✊Respect and if only some of the viewers, Could actually walk in some of these men’s shoes for 24 hours ✊I think they would be in for an eye opening experience in life 💯👌Another Classic from Jame English 💙Been my privilege to watch you grow brother 🙏you have came so far, Well done 👍 GTC
Can I take this man for dinner and a beer? Would love to spend time with him and advise me, although I'm not in his previous life, it's about resilience?
When I close my eyes I could be listening to Frankie Fraser, they sound so alike. He was very dangerous and unpredictable when he was young. I say that because as he said himself he stabbed his brother & sister with scissors for no reason despite the fact they’d always been good to him 😳
I was in jail with someone who had been sent to Carstairs before in his sentence. He told the screws he kept hearing voices. The screws had the governor and medical staff and so on thinking he was going nuts again. When they asked him what the voices were saying he replied "RECOUNT!". Referring to after getting out your cell for dinner they could never get the numbers right and you had to be dubbed up again whilst they did a recount. Am still pissing masself now thinking of it.
Coke/crack is like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. I Have sniffed an unbelievable amount over the years, mostly to stop myself from getting drunk as I was punting so much of it even though I never really liked it and cracked it and really never liked it at all. I could not take a sniff now, even if someone offered me a few grand just to take a line.
James I listen to to you’re podcasts but everyone just had this geezer on and it’s getting a pattern now try someone new a bit of research through the network you built Just saying

We have had our country taken over, and nothing is happening to stop it 😢
Totally agree. More foreigners than British people now. It's fucking shocking.

What a lovely old guy man... That's when men where men aye they done wrong but they done wrong to the right ppl
Really enjoyed this proper old school gentleman 👍
When gansters were real not like todays lot running round stabbing people over nothing !
Not many left now thats for sharing your story 👍
He's from my area. Epsom, Cheam, Sutton. They don't make them like this anymore. Fantastic. Really enjoyed this james.
I meet ronnie over the park walking my dog and he’s a true gentleman
This is one of my favourite pod casts so far. Don’t make them
Like this no more 😊
He must be a proper man , getting a rescue dog . I respect that.
Hello ronnie, been a while, glad to see your well.
Great content and some funny stories and Ron never swore once.😅😊
The bass playing on Remembrance Day - my goodness
Really enjoyed this one 👏🏻
Nice listening to Ronnie, sad when you ask his generation what he thinks of the current state of the UK. Hopefully we can turn it round.
Interesting listening to Ronnie. Really nice man no bull , no boasting, I’m definitely gonna read his book .

Reminds me of my grandparents. Different times. Different people.
What an amazing episode! Hes a true old school ent woth a great story! Cant wait to by thr book. X
James you need to get Norman Price on the show. He was a menace in the Welsh Valleys for years
Do you remember Stephen
@@oakleymark9983 he used to shine my shoes
Yeah fireman sam had a few run ins with him
Love that man's honesty 👏
Added enjoyment for me this one - Ronnie's from my neck of the woods and I drink in some of those pubs today. As soon as he said "Tescos in Sutton" I was like WTF 😂
Soo Good this one 👌
Looking forward to this one

Guns or knives?
~ Dont see much point in a knife, youve gotta let em get near ya 😂😂
Interesting one 👍🏾
My nan told me that my granddad used to guard Parkhurst prison when he was in the army doing his national service.
I have read his book and it is a rude awakening to the soft shite that is about today.
He's a proper old G. Well in bro
He stabbed his brother and sister for nothing

There’s no skool like the old skool 🙌
Proper bloke great listen 👍
Gripped straight away! ❤
Enjoyed that what a man

It would be so nice to have proper subtitels. I am not a native speaker and it´s very hard to understand most accents in most intervies.
This is a top top bloke loyal and the best one so far by a mile ❤
Proper 💎 geezer...
Why
What @@paddysmith461
Legend for sure
Its well documented that the krays where involved with rent boys and that whole lord boothby sickening scenario. Surely Ronnie would know about that.
They is a whole lot that came out about the krays.
JEEZ Ronnie could teach us all a lesson on how he dealt with Uncle Fred
No one deals with uncle Fred
Brilliant interview , all the better he’s a dog lover 😊
Great interview with staunch chap
Ronnie Field is the real deal.
Nothing plastic about Ronnie..
Thanks ron
Great episode 👏👏👏👌👌
Wish we could turn back time. I hate this country with a passion. I feel like I live in Africa or Yemen. It's horrendous. 😭
If you don't like it leave
What's happening is what your ancestors reaped. Now please, keep Alkebulan out of your mouth, Becky.
Why don't you take a 1 way trip to timbuktu
If you stop stealing from Alkebulan to live well in your countries...nvm.
Where would your countries be without Alkebulan?? You clearly don't know what's been going on. Born yesterday, were ya?
Can I take this man for dinner and a beer? Would love to spend time with him and advise me, although I'm not in his previous life, it's about resilience?
Great interview, Ronnie seems like a solid fella.
❤ legend Ronnie field
Refreshingly honest criminal 😊 brilliantly interesting 👍 👍
You a boxer, are ya? I used to be a boxer. 30 years man and boy. Hardest game in the world, being a boxer. Etc.

Good vid
Good old days when their was real hard men 😎😁❤
Legend
Size of his hands, wouldn’t fancy getting a clump off him back in the day!
Seems like everyone over 75 was a gangster back in the day. They are wheeling anyone out without a zimmer frame.

How about getting the frayne brothers on
Just read his book top man Ron
good old Ron.
Top bloke dont make them like that anymore .👊👊
Hi guys
James how old is your Rottweiler
Poor Ronnie couldn't wait to get out for a Vodka...sat with James was harder than being inside!!
What a gent, what happened to the UK man
Immigration from south and Middle East, in a nutshell 🇬🇧
Gotta get John Hilton on
Looks like RONNY KRAY MATE...THATS A COMPLEMENT MATE..GOOD LUCK....
Absolutely loved he thought the Spandau Ballet Kray`s was a load of shit !!!!!
Seen this fella on another podcast before, the stories have all been done to death now
A violent old bully, brilliant, James is such a sycophant. This guy shot innocent people, not a hero.
Sit down soft fella

Yeah come to our fairgrounds .. if you are unlucky enough to drop your wallet after paying us to be there we will take it as a tip! You can take the……
Ronnie is a real face
His book was pretty good,not much bout some of the faces on the cover tho.
Top man.
Unprovoked attack on his family who were good to me, what a nut case.
James I listen to to you’re podcasts but everyone just had this geezer on and it’s getting a pattern now try someone new a bit of research through the network you built
Just saying
Has Fieldy got nits. He keep scratches his head.
Thoroughly enjoyed it didn't want it to end thank you 🫡🤝
