Good work mate!! I saw the movie 'A Sense of Freedom ' (l think?) on Boyle's life, great movie. As for Len waltzing around Glasgow, he'd have stuck out like dogs knackers, wdnt he!?!
Paul’s a definite man from that life & for sure would have that issue tidied up. A proper switched on man then on the streets with good intuition and capabilities to know extreme. A well respected man and a notable wisdom he carries now. A lot of time for Paul’s writing and his interpretations on many subjects. Good video that Ben excellent work mate, keep them coming bro👊❤️✌️
Brilliant. Well done. As you said, for anyone to turn up in Scotland looking for Paul Ferris, they'd have to be eager for 'self deletion'! Not a smart move! 😕😕
Yh thats all I've ever seen in my life is people speaking well off Scots most people speak off Scots Irish n Welsh as like brothers in arms its only your idiots and a bit off friendly banter otherwise..
@meanlean3095 Not at all. The English have no malice or superiority complex over Scots. We respect them. The problem is every German, Scotsman, Welsh , Irish, American, French, Kenyan, etc. all think they have a nemesis style rivalry with the English. Fact is, there's too many self perceived enemies for the English to bother entering into a malicious rivalry with only one of them
Top quality work again mate....... really enjoyed that, Lenny was a hard hard man and a great bonus Glasgow story!!!!!Hope Paul gets back to you with more information......keep on smashing it mate
enjoyed that mate 🤔🤔 maybe Lenny looked 👀👀but not that hard if u get my drift 🤨🤨🤔 yes Arthur looked all over ... couldnt find him any where 😂😂 great upload 👊👊👊
Would you be able to cover the story regarding Paul Ferris and the Essex ecstasy dealer called Jason Vella and their run in’s in prison? I read about it jn Paul’s Vendetta book..but would be good to hear your insight on it too!
Very interesting video, fuck having Lenny knocking about looking for you 😅 never heard the term rubbing someone out linked to giving someone just a tanking would be interesting to hear another update if Paul gets back to you. Cheers for the content mate 🙏
As big as lenny was if he went into the wrong pub or area in glasgow he would have been taken on back in them days If paul ferris got wind you were after him He would have went looking for you first Different times back then
Still lenny would of shown up, he was proud fighting man and I doubt ferris would disrespect him for that, Paul was a thinking man's gangster, I heard lenny got flew to new york by mafia to fight there top guy, it lasted 3 mins, balls of British steel on that man
He'd have had to get someone from outside of Scotland who wasn't clued up on who Paul Ferris was coz nobody from Scotland in the right mind would willingly go looking for Paul Ferris to create problems 💯 😂😂😂
You should do some some research on the krays mob coming up to saracen street with shooters to have a word with a certain bookmakers. The mob got de-armed and battered and sent home with sore faces.
I also heard this threw the grape vine up here, Listen paul is also lucky that Arthur took a heart attack and also lucky that he was being watched 24/7 by the police other wise he would have more than likely had the same end as glover and hanlon. Arthur was getting old but he had people the length and breadth of the country, heavy hitters, the ones that you don't hear of at hand. But i tell you what, you don't get a lot of people living as long as paul doing the stuff he's done and the life he has led, 6ft under or jail or body to damaged to live.
I did a bit of reading on Thompson recently. I always assumed he was an old man who was being overtaken by a new generation who were a different level to him. How wrong I was…he was a serious, serious man.
One other thing, lenny didn't need a weapon, if he wanted to he could murder you in a couple of minutes. I love the big guy, especially because he was who he was but he was a loyal family man who didn't bash his wife and kids like a lot of so called hard guys do.
You don't bring a punch to Ferris .He is as cunning as a fox..He wouldn't of left Glasgow alive..Glasgow is one crazy tough place .Everyone can handle themselves here .Respect.
I Absolutely, love the Scots, no problem here... My only issue is the Scottish politics , Sturgeon and especially the new one, are destroying beautiful Scotland. I'm not sure if its changed any , but perhaps the Scots can verify this., I visited the Gorbols, (apologies if Ive spelt it wrong) it was shortly after the Kriss Donald Murder, it was full of the religion of peace variety , not what I was expecting from the tails of old.
@@johnlennox1690 That's so sad..thanks for the confirmation 👍, so nothing has changed.. Been Glasgow a few times, got a few Scottish mates. Last time I went to Scotland, I went to Fort William, Ben Nevis ..I swear, one of the most beautiful places to visit..
@@ml6cut463 It's not the landscape , it's the people I was referring to. I knew an old Scottish boy, that use to talk about the bare knuckle fights and the old villains and gangs and the genuine community spirit of the working class Scots, when I visited, it was anything but .

Most men were not fighters from Glasgow back in that era but absolute stone cold killers. Just a fact of life then, the body count from then would back that up.
No danger. Jimmy Boyle was hit and k.o by a kray associate who afterwards was bundled up in a car old Franky Frazzer done his bit on krays man. 👍🏻🏴🇮🇪
The story came from a mutual good friend of us both. I often fact check with Paul and he has given me permission to use his content as we have close mutual friends
@@enquirer2.0 who are your close mutual friends? gangsters scum of society who intimidate decent people so they can have a fearful reputation? and were all supposed to be scared of them?
Not a credible story. Lenny can fight like fuck and would leather Paul, but it wouldn't come to that. Paul would take him out with a silencer even in a public place and then have the cctv wiped and other folks DNA scattered to comfuse the investigation. There is levels to that life.
When he died. He confessed to agreeing to kill Paul for his friend Arthur Thompson. But he claimed to be unable to catch Paul. Saying he was always off his mark when he thought he was getting near
Lenny was about 10 stone heavier than Paul Ferris so it would not have been a fair fight really would it ? but Ferris would of used a tool to equal things up a bit and put lenny to bed

If it is true?? Certainly wouldn't be asking about ' as someone said earlier ' asking about paul in GLASGOW in the past would get to Paul's ears and it would be " another matter " as towards what would happen then. Got to the wrong people it could have been another Murder mystery 😂😂😂 in saying that if it goes to the' right people ' then thats another - what if?. As for lenny /a far as ive been led to believe, it was Roy Shaw who gave him his hardest square go.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Paul Ferris would not have given two fks about Lenny McLean and one thing I know McLean never went looking for Paul because if he did Paul would have made sure he found him Paul Ferris would have done away with McLean ffs this is what you call a man who cared not a jot about any other man a lovely guy is Paul Ferris but nobody would ever stamp on his toes
True mate wee Fergie feared no man , great guy papers painted him out as a monster over the years but far from the truth one of life's good guys #blackhilltoi
Really interesting drop Ben,gripping that was and told with the expertise and passion/respect it deserved. The divulging of the bit at the end is real food for thought and if that's fact (which you did say its not 💯 yet as you always do in this situation) well if it's fact I really Hope you go a bit deeper on it, if you can with the 'street politicking' being in favour it will make another good drop.

He wasn't the sharpest tool in the box but even Lenny wasn't stupid enough to go around Glasgow looking for anyone let alone Ferris.
The English have always wanted to say how much better they are than us scotch but they didn’t show it they stayed away & talked a load of 💩

Paul Ferris someone who knows nothing about this fight
He’s never been a fighter 😂😂😂

If Lenny went to Glasgow hunting Ferris. He never would have left Glasgow.
enjoyed that mate 🤔🤔

yes Arthur looked all over ... couldnt find him any where 😂😂

Very interesting video, fuck having Lenny knocking about looking for you 😅 never heard the term rubbing someone out linked to giving someone just a tanking would be interesting to hear another update if Paul gets back to you. Cheers for the content mate 🙏
Great story. I felt like I was at the fair. Brilliant content as usual Enquirer.
Lenny a fighter Paul a shooter and knifer what a difference
Ferris would've stopped lennys heartbeat sharpish.
Yes definitely back in his day 😂
As big as lenny was if he went into the wrong pub or area in glasgow he would have been taken on back in them days
If paul ferris got wind you were after him
He would have went looking for you first
Different times back then
@Paxanglorum
No a plastic spoon from McDonald's
Still lenny would of shown up, he was proud fighting man and I doubt ferris would disrespect him for that, Paul was a thinking man's gangster, I heard lenny got flew to new york by mafia to fight there top guy, it lasted 3 mins, balls of British steel on that man
A doubt Lenny would have went hunting for Paul as a no doubted he was strong but guns would have been used and then only one winner
He'd have had to get someone from outside of Scotland who wasn't clued up on who Paul Ferris was coz nobody from Scotland in the right mind would willingly go looking for Paul Ferris to create problems 💯 😂😂😂
Most Scots fucking hate the west coast. They are Irish or loyalists not Scots. Weegie land is a fucking bin.
😴😴😴😴👍yeah yeah
Proper decent content, straight from the book!
Love your uploads mate. Cheers for all the time you take putting these together 👌🙏
You should do some some research on the krays mob coming up to saracen street with shooters to have a word with a certain bookmakers. The mob got de-armed and battered and sent home with sore faces.
I will do mate thanks
Heard they came up to posso n sent back done in
Out of 12 fights he only won 6 big difference to his 2000 fights he said he had, still a legend in his own right, God bless him
I also heard this threw the grape vine up here, Listen paul is also lucky that Arthur took a heart attack and also lucky that he was being watched 24/7 by the police other wise he would have more than likely had the same end as glover and hanlon.

But i tell you what, you don't get a lot of people living as long as paul doing the stuff he's done and the life he has led, 6ft under or jail or body to damaged to live.
Plus he was tied in with the intelligence services.
Paul was in jail when the two guy were killed
I did a bit of reading on Thompson recently. I always assumed he was an old man who was being overtaken by a new generation who were a different level to him. How wrong I was…he was a serious, serious man.
Glasgow is a Brilliant City but it's certainly got more than it's share of Gangsters and Tough Guy's, just saying. 😎👊🇬🇧
Tough guys 😂😂😂 yi mean knife pussys and grasses
Half them probs never even threw a punch 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It wouldn't have been a fist fight. It would have been blades and guns.
You wouldn’t send lenny up to beat up ferris when they could employ a little skinny guy with a weapon! Absolute fantasy.
In a fist fight he would have killed Paul Ferris .,....he dont fist fight tho.😂
Interesting. Wounder it hasn't been mentioned before about Paull.any billy grimwood tails .love ya stuff
You don't bring a punch to Ferris .He is as cunning as a fox..He wouldn't of left Glasgow alive..Glasgow is one crazy tough place .Everyone can handle themselves here .Respect.
Len was hard as fuck but also told a good story
Very interesting ,,I love these stories and it seems that's everyone has skeletons in the cupboard
Cracking little story that mate thankyou.
Great story mate my moneys on Ferris.
I’m trying to find out more about Richie anderson as he is a distant relative of my fathers side of the family….a cousin of my fathers
Enjoyed that👍
if Paul ferris does get back to you don’t keep it to yourself. It would be an interesting update to this video.
No fkn chance mate, he would never have left Glasgow in one piece, he’d be chopped to pieces
To say Thompson was McLean friend he would have been sending him into certain death back then
Hard men and gangsters are two very different things. Guns are a great equaliser
Brilliant! 🏴🇬🇧
Brilliant story such interesting content fella...all the best..
Good video mate, like the Glasgow twist, but it’s pronounced Mc”Lane” and not Mc”Leen” 👍🏻
Apparently Lenny pronounced it like this (McLeen)...I'm not sure if it's an English thing or not.
No, it's not. 👍
McCleans like the toothpaste… From The Guvnor book
What age was Paul Ferris when this man was at his peak ? 10 ? 8 ?
I Absolutely, love the Scots, no problem here...
My only issue is the Scottish politics , Sturgeon and especially the new one, are destroying beautiful Scotland.
I'm not sure if its changed any , but perhaps the Scots can verify this., I visited the Gorbols, (apologies if Ive spelt it wrong) it was shortly after the Kriss Donald Murder, it was full of the religion of peace variety , not what I was expecting from the tails of old.

I think Paul mentions Lenny and the supposed hit in one of his books
Nothing but lies in his book
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 great vid!
I tell you this Lenny would have been in a body bag Paul didn’t fuck around at that time and would acted on it
No danger. Jimmy Boyle was hit and k.o by a kray associate who afterwards was bundled up in a car old Franky Frazzer done his bit on krays man. 👍🏻🏴🇮🇪
Great stories.
Great little story 👍
Thanks though, good work mate
Lenny wouldnt of lasted 10 minutes if Fergie was tooled up and out to get him
When Paul talks, believe what he says..
just as well he never found paul or he would never have left glasgow alive
