I first came across Paul Sykes in Strangeways in 1983, and he was the most intimidating and frightening person I had ever seen. I personally don't believe anyone would have beat a sober Paul Sykes in his prime.
I agree 💯% Even screws up and down the UK prisons said there'd never been a con that worried them as Sykes did, he'd have beat Gardner if he could have sacked the booze for 6 months while training. RIP Paul.
Brian keeps saying unrighteous comments about people who aren't here to call him out on it. When your author 😂 Jamie allegedly ripped him off it made him unwell and he hasn't recovered since. Oh the irony. 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm glad you said that , no doubt Lee was a handful but he was dead at 25 so we never got to see exactly how hard he was, Sykes being an ex boxer who had been around the block a lot of times would have destroyed him, an experienced boxer will beat an inexperienced local tough guy which is what Lee was
@@roberts7961 Lee might have trained at a boxing gym when he was young but he isn't an ex boxer, go have a look and see if you can find any of his boxing record, you won't because it doesn't exist, if you think a local hard man is beating a pro boxer you need your head examined as you are clearly insane
@@roberts7961 Duffy did some boxing training that doesnt make him a boxer on the level of sykes lol whos fought for a commonwealth title and sparred with 2 legendary world champs.

I listen to what Brian cockerel had said about Paul when heard saying this stuff I was sick to my stomach I had to stop listening I come from Cardiff so I believe what Brian was saying then I listen to Jamie Boyle interview with a friend of Paul Sykes who said it’s not true none of it that is disgusting of Brian cockerel to say that vile stuff about someone who not alive for one who can’t give his side it’s wrong and I stop watching Brian show months ago but I’m glad watch the show with Jamie to put it right he should be banned from saying such things.
My dad lives near Wakefield & knew Paul Sykes from the 1970s, I told him apparently he was sexually assaulting other prisoners & he said that's absolute bullshit. Coming from Brian it almost certainly is anyway.
B.C’s story about this alleged “encounter” is unfortunately pure fantasy invented because of a personal grudge against Sykes, which was born from from a personal grudge against someone who wrote about Sykes 💯 Not a chance this happened lol
Lee Duffy is a name which keeps coming up on these sites, but I think most of the stories about him are inflated. The reason I say this is because I was on a cruise last year and met a middle-aged couple from Middleborough. I mentioned Lee Duffy to them and they just looked blank and said they had never heard of him. So not quite the legend everyone thinks.
I fink your wrong about Paul Sykes I was in Leeds in the early nineties and lee Duffy looked after a lot of lads put his name up he was solid NOBODY could touch him
Me & Yammy had a talk about Sykes doing that, IF Sykes did do that, it was with consenting young gay guys, but I don't believe a fckng word of it, another one of Brian's fairytales.
Sure I was in Durham with Paul in the early 70s ; it was D wing and he had been transferred from Wakefield. I was lucky in the early eighties , as coming from Sussex on the A 23 I avoided G H K wings on J R and got singled up in E wing. Cushy. The last place I would want to do bird.
@Ross-fi7kuEurope? We must be watching different videos because I saw it was a tag team takeover of the whole world teaming up with that massive Geordie lad what's his name? Scotty G or something
Both hard men, its true. They were on different levels, though, imo. Duffy was a big, strong young kid, and could bash ppl up but Sykes was much more skilled with his hands. There were people who later put down Sykes, when he was a 60 year old alcoholic, but the shape he was in inside prison, no way. Not saying anything against Duffy at all, but it's almost a bar brawler fighting Mike Tyson.
Yes shame I've seen quite a lot of fighters go that way everyone wants to buy them a drink in the end it just takes over and next thing there piss heads and everyone takes liberty on them shame but it goes on respect thanks mate 💯🥊🥊
Ray I like your stuff but you said pretty much the same about charlie bronson mate on a podcast.its still on utube rember so you've done it yourself mate .
I was last in wanno in 2017 ray and yeah they did still have G H and K wings they are them enhanced kind of wings where you have your own key to cell and all that kinda thing , never been on one so dont know much about them
What it's not a nonce wing no more Thay used to have everything own work shops good food well more my mate pissed in the tea earn hahaha don't think that mad any different it was like piss anyways haha🤣 respect thanks mate 💯🥊🥊
Hi Ray,you could never get away with this in any jail no matter who you are,You've been to prison so you know the score,i went to a borstal and this could never happen,I've watched Brian and listened to what he said about this and i think Brian has an issue with Sykes,maybe scared, jealous due to his boxing abilities,i really don't know but terrible vile accusations to make against someone, especially when he's dead,i know one thing Sykes was one hard man and would never back off any man,Roy Shaw lasted seconds with him and was regarded as a legendary hard man ,people need to talk reality and stop spreading disgusting rumors
Morning mate yes I went borstal too yes and YP those things happen but screws tacking the piss but Thay got hurt doing that just rushed him didn't know what happened we looked after people who looked vulnerable respect thanks mate 💯🥊🥊
@PaulSmith-br4tj if he smashed him up I can't see Lee Duffy being any issue at all for him. I'm torn on this whole argument as a good friend and old time liverpool face told me that was true. He is also dead now and can't elaborate
@@bdd606 According to Yammy,when Bill the Bomb was in prison he asked Sykes about incident with Roy Shaw and he said i defended myself and not going to stand there if iam being attacked,i think it was words to that effect,so much gets said after people are dead and cannot defend themselves
Ray you have been 'bang on' (pun intended) on the the stuff about your life prison etc but repeatedly talking about this issue (Some alleged nonce using The Sun newspaper etc) is gut wretching Unless you're trying to spark a feud with this Cotterill fella who doesn't seem to be in the same league as you and not worth your breath why harp on about it? All I know is bullies bully because they can He was a strong man who even scared the POs but I'll remain on the fence as to whether anyone was brave enough to stand up to him or whether it even happened at all Changing the subject, you were a top. enforcer in West London. Did any of the older faces tell you stories about the landlord Peter Rachman?? Did you even meet Nicholas Van Hoogstraten on your travels (you could compare him to Rachman in his early days as a landlord in the South of England allegedly) Anyways something to think about and I'm sure others would love to hear about it!!
Ya I met Nicholas Van Hoogstraten I was a Gangster Tony Lawrence he used to work for him taking people out there house's didn't matter who They were old or young he owns half of Brighton as you know very ritch and dangerous man respect for everything else thanks 💯🥊🥊
Respect to you too mate I heard he even owned a floating prison himself!! One of those converted ferries It's probably being used for migrants now Who knows? You have led a very interesting life Ray Not one of those guys that never ventured out of their postcode (nothing wrong with that I suppose) but a bloke that's been about meeting people from all walks of life Great stuff!!
From what i know, if you're in nick and you accuse somebody of being a nonce you better have proof because it can be very dangerous for you if you're lying
he didn’t seem a very decent man in general but even outside he was paid out a few times, when you’re a bully especially being pissed up some will come back it’s a shame both his sons ended up in jail for murder it’s a tragic thing.
The reason why Brian is doing this is because he's trying to ruin Jamie Boyle the author who did Brian's first book and they fell out, Jamie's best work is 3 Paul Sykes books and a film is ment to be coming out so he is trying to sabatohe the film to get at Jamie nothing more 100%
Predators get their prey, it’s easy to believe and accept that Paul was a pufter and had a bit of sausage in prison.. Which young boys/men would be strong enough to stand up to this.. The fact so called hard guys ignored this shit doesn’t surprise me, that’s why they in prison, selfish mentality..
Ye John G Sutton but he looks a filthy old pig grunt and Paul Sykes maid him work . Turn 🗝️ s would say shit like it as they know they can get away with it in there nice mansion estate houses far away from the normal folk. Him and his brother are right spoon feeding shite .
Tails from the jails I belive that screw channel something like that and be fair he seems bit off a fantasist you ask me he got a few dodgy things about him things he did he was a doctor n if you listen too him he was fully fully anti cons he's a crusader off his own fantasys
His Lee Duffy fight story changes everytime he tells it

And i saw him towards his end. On the streets drinking heavy, people abusing him. Awful to see

His gonna come back today I bet wonts to take it easy have a heartache 😂😂😂

Brain has Paul Sykes name tattooed on his helmet
When Brian Cockerill first started telling his story's about Paul Sykes he said it was Borstal boys he was doing in Durham prison !!
Sure I was in Durham with Paul in the early 70s ; it was D wing and he had been transferred from Wakefield. I was lucky in the early eighties , as coming from Sussex on the A 23 I avoided G H K wings on J R and got singled up in E wing. Cushy. The last place I would want to do bird.
Sykes would have hurt Brian and his boyfriend lee..
Sykes would have smashed Duffy fact
Exactly 💯🥊🥊 💯
All this rubbish is brian Cockerill calling him all the time.
Sykes was a piece of shit. Just look at how he went out flashing at people living on the streets
@robertgreen….they were in Leeds together in early nineties and Sykes didn’t want it
@Ross-fi7kuEurope? We must be watching different videos because I saw it was a tag team takeover of the whole world teaming up with that massive Geordie lad what's his name? Scotty G or something
Paul Sykes was always in the block and was a 43b (Good order and Discipline) he was NEVER on normal location. The story about Paul is bollox
