I first met Johnny Phillips in Risley November 1981.He was working in reception when I arrived and he was a powerhouse of a lad,pure muscle.When I got sentenced in the summer of 1982 we were both on the yip’s on B wing at Walton.Curtis warren was also on the same landing as us.Curtis & Johnny were total opposites.Johnny was constantly bouncing around the landing,whereas Curtis was a quiet lad who just got on with things.2 of the Noonans from Manchester were also on the same landing,Dominic & Damon.You would never of guessed these 2 & Curtis would turn out to be what they were.It was a different story with Johnny,even at that age,you knew how his life was going to go.
Sounds like if the guy had just accepted his second prize like a man it would have saved a few life's, and the families the trauma they must have went through.
I think it would have escalated regardless, there had been lots of issues previous it was just waiting for the fuse to be lit. big egos and pride are one of the biggest killers

Meet one of the ungi brothers around 2000/2001 sat down with him. He brought a car I was selling. I think it was Colin. Tall guy. Seemed solid. He touched on this situation.
I was working in Liverpool at the time of David ungis funeral,have never seen as many armed police on the streets of a funeral rout .bad times for Liverpool.
I lived off Aigburth Road when all this was going off. It was mad. Armed police patrolling up and down Park Rd and Aigburth Rd. Seemed like there were shootings every day for weeks. I remember people walking around wearing bullet proof vests!
Absolutely. Philips would force people into minding things for him, he'd then go back a few days later wearing balaclavas with his bully mates and tax them after battering them. Then he'd go back to get his things a few days latet an they'd be bullied into his debt because they didn't have his things. Everyone, including the victims, knew that this was a regular earner of his. Typical bully an couldn't take getting beat by a better fighter & man.
I pulled up alongside Johnny Phillips at the end of the M62. We looked at each other sat at the lights. He ended up panicking and going through red lights. He was on edge. Never liked him anyway He was a bully.
@Sean-r5f didn't know him well but heard a few things about him. He was a unit well over 6tf and 18stone. So people said he was bisexual. Tough man and very weathly
That’s one of the greatest things in the world in the eyes of someone who’s lived the life and can never open a door without checking its not an old enemy popping up jimmy holmes said in his interview
Look gangsters always take your gangster troubles away from the family home. You respect your parents you want to be in the game fair play but never take it to those outside the game.
As a Liverpudlian living near to the incidents, it's believed in the local rumour mill that Johnny Phillips died of fright, living by himself, away from his family in order to protect them.
I went to school with David Ungi, was in the same class as him. It said that Tony was his oldest Brother, he wasn't. Joey Ungi was the oldest. To be fair, all three of the Ungi Brothers that I knew were all good lads in school, never in any trouble and they would look out for the younger lads.
You’re right..Tony is a cousin I think. Remember Joey well he was a few years older than me but I used to box in the florrie and always looked up to him. Not sure if I’m looking at the past through rose tinted glasses but I’d rather we had big families like the Ungis running the streets than what we have these days… kids on bikes with guns. It felt safer in the 80s and 90s.
@@JoeK-g6c Tony and David were brothers but it was Joey that was the oldest. I went to Wellie Rd school with them. David was in my class and then we joined up with Tocky Tech and Dingle vale, that was the first year that Shorefields started. I think you might be right about Big families. The older lads all had a certain set of morals about them and they never bothered ordinary people. This lot today haven't got any respect for anything.
@DudeSilad I'm not calling anyone a shithouse and I'm not bigging anyone up too. Sometimes you win Sometimes you don't. I'm not trying to look good myself here too, but iv had loads of scrapes. Iv done a few and lost some too. But never shot or cut and went back mob handed. Iv gone back and had another go and still got beat a couple of times. Haha
@@bdd606 Philips was a shit house. People died because he couldn't handle a much smaller man beating him up. A lot of these Liverpool gangsters were shit houses. They were all hard when they had back up. There were a few who were obviously hard like Stephen French who is mentioned in the video.
That's right. There were a few bent coppers back then. That one over the water, Elmore Davies was CID and mate of Warrior from Gladiators. ED got done for passing in info. Warrior got done for his involvement on Curtis Warren's drug ventures. Another cop, Gregory O'Leary, got done for his passing on info from police computer and ironically had been part of the murder squad investigating Ungi's murder before they put him back into uniform and his later jailing. Liverpool was a cesspit of corruption and drugs at the time with easy access to smgs and people not bothered about using them in built up areas.

I got a lift from Johnny Phillips once in his M3 bmw. I was hanging around with a gang of doormen from the Quadrant Park night club at the time. I was 15 and beginning to do errands for them and also steal for some of them. After about a year of this i was asked to hide a gun for one of them and had to get out of the city before it was too late for me. So i did and moved to North Wales. I dodged a bullet for sure as most of those guys were killed over petty shit.

Why are these people bitching about the lack of police protection when they started, continued, profited from this disorder. Live by the sword die by it. But don't bitch about it when it's your family threatened. What about all the families you left with no brother, mother, sister, uncle or who ever. You did this to yourself
@ Perhaps I’m a bit biased but we’ve had our works plumbers van broken into 5 times out of 7 visits in Liverpool, not once in 19 visits in Shrewsbury and only once in 23 visits in Manchester. Sorry but that’s the hard truth.
I'm from Liverpool, the narrator paints a hagiography of these lowlives like we are supposed to empathise or mourn.them, "a loving son, father" bullshit ..stop giving oxygen to people who have contributed nothing to Liverpool but misery and suffering.
If u don’t like it don’t listen. Behind every situation like this there are plenty of victims who done nothing wrong. It ain’t black n white and I’m not here to judge. You sit on your ivory tower but one day u might find a family member in trouble or whatever and you won’t be so judgemental
Listen mate you need to get real. Good people can do bad things and vice versa. Crime and criminality will always exist as long as we have inequality. Of course he was a Beloved son, brother and father and I have no doubt he loved his family. I don’t think the narrator was glorifying anything. This is real world, good or bad the story deserves to be told.
anyone ever read graham johnsons book THE CARTEL its about the liverpool drugs trade 1973 - 2013 and in it he refers to 2 toxteth men known as KAISER AND SCARFACE the apparantly introduced CURTIS WARREN to the colombian cali cartel anyone know thier real names ?

The shot that killed Ungi was from his own gun ,he hit his own femeral artery
@@ragingmouse5547 bollocks 😂😂they say that bit with Curtis was fk all to do with the hatred the other two had each other 🤔
my mate worked in a car dealership and johnny philips brought his car in for a full valet and he found a nice bag of coke under the car seat,nearly went up the hoover it did 😀

I was in Hindley Borstal with Johnny and Curtis, good lads, not bullies, just clever and clued up.
Chelsee grimes the singer , who never talks about it , is jonnys daughter..she explained on a bbc prog she hated bein in a car ....thats cause people tried to shoot him in one while shes a passenger ..when the dan reed docu film shooters came out in 2001 i thought i recognised the cast , they where at jonny philips wedding as best men. My mrs hung round with maria his wife. Theres loads of urban myths about him like he had a twin & died in the bath. A so called hardman of liverpool life like he had was only gona end one way !!
Hold on, Ungi may have been killed by Bunji? You couldn't write that.
Old school Barneys! Gave respect
..all over a dispute man
Philips was butyman for sure
I lived on horth hilly back then, I remember looking down the street and hundreds of people was out and my neighbor told me Davy ungi has been shot, after that day it was never the same it started a race war I was going to high school carrying weapons because we was all scared u didn't kniw what was gona happen it went on for years
Why are these people bitching about the lack of police protection when they started, continued, profited from this disorder. Live by the sword die by it. But don't bitch about it when it's your family threatened. What about all the families you left with no brother, mother, sister, uncle or who ever. You did this to yourself
Bobble mohamd kamara took after jacko in his silver seira lazer after killing David, I seen it all
Imagine driving to your mums when your getting chased 🙄
Init lol that is a where u catch most man when they are having trouble tho seriously
I remember it grew up in the area, there was grafitti on a shutter on park rd "haha curtis your next n*****"

What a wonderful country iv lived in all my life.. can see why every1 wants to come ere.. not.
Goes on everywhere. Liverpool had nothing on Marseille.
When did we start driving left hand drive cars in England
All that agg because he could not take a doing bet he took his ball home if he did not score a goal.
Ricky rowe was in shooters

@enquirer2.0 the stocky one with franny in car
Blue sweatshirt on left of shooters poster
My cousin gave Franny his first job on the Cokey and he was fucking useless,,Alfie Lewis sacked him same night

David nice fella dad new him he d be turning over in his grave over 2 of his sons are on the books for the police the other is 50 50 sad very grasses
How did uni win the golden gloves it's an American amateur championship?

Fiction...🤔
How's it fiction it's well know what happend literally show pictures of the court reports in he videos
@enquirer2.0 ok then let's say based on a true story then ... is that better?
@@enquirer2.0 or made for tv?
These cowardly scouse punks cost the U.K. tax payers a fortune in policing , court, and imprisonment costs. Anything but work eh ?
Acting like this stuff dosent happen everywhere else, take your head for a wobble
This type of stuff happens in all major cities not just liverpool
@ Perhaps I’m a bit biased but we’ve had our works plumbers van broken into 5 times out of 7 visits in Liverpool, not once in 19 visits in Shrewsbury and only once in 23 visits in Manchester. Sorry but that’s the hard truth.
Haha, hilarious.
Sad state of mind.
You are pretty random.
I'm from Liverpool, the narrator paints a hagiography of these lowlives like we are supposed to empathise or mourn.them, "a loving son, father" bullshit ..stop giving oxygen to people who have contributed nothing to Liverpool but misery and suffering.
If u don’t like it don’t listen. Behind every situation like this there are plenty of victims who done nothing wrong. It ain’t black n white and I’m not here to judge. You sit on your ivory tower but one day u might find a family member in trouble or whatever and you won’t be so judgemental
Listen mate you need to get real. Good people can do bad things and vice versa. Crime and criminality will always exist as long as we have inequality. Of course he was a Beloved son, brother and father and I have no doubt he loved his family.
I don’t think the narrator was glorifying anything. This is real world, good or bad the story deserves to be told.
I remember all this carry on mid 90s
You must be well over 100 now.
Ego...
No such thing as golden gloves in uk boxing its a american thing
❤❤
anyone ever read graham johnsons book THE CARTEL its about the liverpool drugs trade 1973 - 2013 and in it he refers to 2 toxteth men known as KAISER AND SCARFACE the apparantly introduced CURTIS WARREN to the colombian cali cartel anyone know thier real names ?

@@midnightrider4066 that’s young ungi , not the man this is about
Gee is talking about Michael ungi now Michael Riccio he's the son of David in this video. Just been slammed with a 35 on encro.
John Haase ruled Liverpool.
Curtis and John hated each other, went back years.
No one ruled Liverpool there was to many about to be able to make that claim some was more successful at making money though
@@John-z1y8w unless your from here an know the truth , it’s all publicity to try an make us look like scum ,

Status of a plum
