Hardman living a hard life encountering hard people in hard and bad situations but you draw the line when mate offers you cups of tea especially from the garden
Yes Roy is easy to listen to he’s very honest and very interesting it’s easy to understand what made him what he is, and now that fame provides a good and secure income he really is a true gentleman.
Two things. 1) you only need to look at Roy to know he could be an absolute psycho. 2) after looking at him it's surprising how articulate he is and even more so to see him laugh 😂
British old School Gangster who didn't take shit off anybody but respected the old Gangster code, no kids no Women or Civilians not like all they so called Gangsters now Days, I came from the same background in Glasgow in the Sixties and seventies, changed Days sadly RIP Roy.
I read his book when I was a lost kid in young offenders jails. All them old school morals are what I thought was right but was taught was wrong. His book changed me and let me be my self. Rest in peace
Proper hardman is someone who gets up at 5 am and works their arse off to provide for their family. Not some twat who goes to prison and lives off the taxpayers money.
People have a lot of bad things to say about roy but look at the facts as u see before u. 1. It appears he does nt swear(or trys not too infront of women) 2. He s always dressed in a suit or close too. 3. He appears to not go looking for trouble unless it comes looking for him. 4 he fought lenny mclean not just once but 3x and even won 1 of his fights. I mean did u see the size of len in his prime? Len was one scary guvnor and an animal in a fight. Anyone who d dare to fight len in his prime ain t no wussy. Roy had certain characteristics that are void in this current day and age most of us nowadays wear shit speak like shit and only give shit out if hiding behind a computer. Roy was a gentleman who got himself into the odd bit of trouble when he was younger. Anyone that calls him a pussy is just jealous of what little fame he had.
No words can describe him onist well spoken true gent one off hard nice man pleasure to watch at wat he was good at fighting they only made one Roy RIP
"then stood in the doorway was sulky, he's sayin" they're gonna kill ya roy, tell the gavna yr not gonna do the screws no more please roy, they're gonna kill ya " " I said", "oh alright mate". 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣
A little snippet of truth about him being a gentleman. He nearly swore, but changed it to "blinkin" because theres a woman in the room. You cant fake that.
I went out with a woman a few years back who lived right near Broadmoor and she said every now and then the siren would go off because some nutcase had escaped. The siren was to warn all the local residents to get to somewhere safe and secure as quickly as possible, lest said fruitcake kicked their door in and decided to have them for lunch.
It’s true , I lived not too far away and they used to test the sirens every now and again. I wondered what is was when I first moved there. Thought we were under attack!
What is this fascination that working class people have in England with thugs? I mean, we've got thugs here in Hungary as well, and I'm sure some of them have a reputation in prison or in their little loser worlds, but no one gives a crap about them. What's so good about beating people up, getting beaten up, spending half your life in prison and not having learnt anything in your life beyond how to intimidate people? Most of them end up dirt poor as well, living on their own. This guy's one good move was he bought a car showroom lot which he rented out and lived off the rent money. That and his Essex house, and that's it. Sum total of his achievements, and yet for some reason you're all over him. I don't get it.
I think it's a admiration thing, where a person feels to get strength and a feeling of self-righteous by "being involved" with this type of person. Makes a person feel empowered, by a sense of association. It's that, how many people have violated us, and wouldn't it be good if we could just whack 'em with no fear of retaliation (by reputation). People like Roy do live a very different life, a product of their upbringing and values. I do feel sad for them, they can only handle the world as their culture allows.
What were you watching for? I wouldn't say it's an English thing, go ask Hollywood why they make films about gangsters. You took the time to watch and comment on someone you're sneering at, what's that all about, got nothing better to do?
@@christoguichard4311 that's very romantic. Robbing from the rich to give to the poor, nope. Rob/steal from anyone to feather their own nest. Have you ever had a thug/crminal give you anything of worth? If they have it usually comes with a sting attached, you've been bought.
Are there anymore old fight clips around ? Theres not many of Roy or Lenny on youtube, like Lennys fight in New York it was meant to be filmed i wonder if anyone still has a copy
My claim to fame is ive been in every cell in Grendon underwood.i was a decorator and painted all the doors.it was a very spooky place and very quiet as they had their confession sessions and we had to not make any noise and distract them.
Had the pleasure of meeting Roy a number of years ago. Was having a great conversation with him about the Fermi Paradox and about wether black holes can give birth to entirely new universes. Everything was going fine until Professor Brian Cox turned up and started putting his tuppence worth in. so Roy done im didnt he
Roy is lucky to come out of Broadmoor in good condition others haven't been so lucky. PS at least he hasn't got that fucked up institutionalization about him.
What an articulate man and a great story .. there's a chap or 3 like this in every backstreet boozer in britain regailing people with tales haha godbless
@Max Lee he definitely wasn't a millionaire mate he owned a old tired bungalow in the middle of nowhere which he bought in the early 80s when he was still getting punched about he's old woman jogged him on and was getting shafted by half of London while he was inside Broadmoor nutty house and he ended up doing the Z list circuit for a few quid with wannabe gangsters and old dummy fighters like himself look at some of Liam's other videos he always wearing the same old clothes and talking the same old shit the guy was a fruitcake

You should apply to Broadmoor Liam, to see if you could make a warts and all documentary of what goes on in there (Or maybe two, one from the warder's point of view and then one from the patient's point of view). You never know, you could make it big on mainstream TV with it, as it would be very popular!!
Absolutely mate - will be doing a doc on a guy called Ben Hatchett who is due for release very soon who spent time in Broadmoor - a real eye opener - keep well
@@LiamGalvinFilm Hi Liam. Do you have any info on Tommy The Bear Brown?. He seems like a guy who missed his calling. If he were alive today he would've certainly been on TV and film.
If you google billy doyle and alan reeve intresting ,reeve got out after 30 years theres a documentary about his life but i cant find it online,he killed a 15 y.o when he was 15,and strangled billy doyle,also shot at police etc
true. but then if we had been through as much violence as him, hit in the head by screws heaven knows how many times, had to be ready for violence at the drop of a hat for decades (lot of stress), not to mention all the drugs they pumped into him in broadmoor, I am sure we wouldn't look right either.

Those shark eyes and the way he licks his lips. You wouldn't want to have pissed him off.
Looks like he's on the packet
Probably wouldn’t hesitate to kill.
