About Stephen “The Devil” French
Drug dealers beware. The Devil is coming to get you.
Stephen French invented the perfect crime: robbing drug barons of their huge fortunes. In SAS-style swoops, The Devil raided their fortified mansions and tortured them with horrifying violence until they paid up. Through “taxing” the richest and most powerful crime-lords in the UK, he netted over £20 million.
The Devil was no ordinary criminal. He was a world-champion fighter, who studied psychology at university to master mind-control techniques, and he used the teachings of Machiavelli and samurai warriors to outwit his enemies. He also had a complex relationship with Curtis Warren, the wealthiest criminal in British history. The two were childhood pals, then partners and finally bitter enemies.
Stephen is now an author, public speaker and activist.

Stephen french used to extort money out of people by going round for his tea and staying all night telling them stories 😂
@@jayrorschach2247 hahahaha
So true I was thinking that after 30 minutes in I could see Shaun sighing looking as if he was giving up the will to live 🤣
😂😂
If you can watch this interview start to finish, you pass SAS selection.
If you take all of the yeah rights out of this interview, it only lasts 20 min
Can't help that, part of mental health condition
@@JohnSmith-uk3oh alright John lad

@@JohnSmith-uk3oh long time, How's the family fella
@@Johnsmith-xd5gi Well you know John, always pretty good lad 😁
stephen french looking like christmas wrapping paper.
Hahahahahaha
That was very funny ! You made my day.
@Ian Concannon look on the bright side brother, remember al capone from the 1920's? its when america cancelled / banned alcohol, you had a thing called speak easy, secret bars for secret members, the same thing will happen again in the 2020's but only this time in the form of Christmas celebration or birthday parties or any parties.
Yeah yeah yeah
Wonder what would happen if Shaun screamed "NO!!!!" right after Frenchy said "yeah, yeah right?"
HAAAAAAAHAAAA HILARIOUS
Funny that!
He'd most probably get his face burst open
Purple Aki's bestie
pair of wrongun ,, took him to task ,, joker
Ye ye right
All personas of Various power ARE..!!!
@@shogun...... good luck with that you keyboard warrior 💯🤡
I wasn't keen on Stephen when i first watched him around five years back. For some reason I decided to watch this a few months ago n actually enjoyed listening to his stories. Now Im back again watching him. Hes an interesting man. I wish him all the best in his endeavours.
Yeah right
yeah yeah , right
Yeah, Yeah...Yeah, Yeah Right....Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Right, Right, Right, Right.....Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Right...
Whole interview summed up🤣🤣🤣
wow, nothing nice to say keep your mouth shut
@@909sparkle Who took the jam out of your donut? Can't take a little joke...
@@chris3937 joking about someone with a speech impairment isn't funny to me...sorry to piss on your bonfire
@@909sparkle Jesus Christ take a joke...bet your the type of person that writes to ofcom when theres a bit of cleavage on TV. I wasn't poking fun at him because he has a speech impediment, i was merely making a joke (you know as comedians do, to try and have a laugh). Stop being a Karen, the world is shit enough as it is.
Synopsis: Sociopath interviews himself
agreed
Yep yeah yeah yeah right!
@@kinny2098 ok yeah right OK yeah OK right🤦♂️
Listen erm. Right listen erm
Amongst the most honest reply on RUclips this year
“I always wear a suit Shawn “
Yeah, yeah right?
When you haven't had much sleep, and you're chilling watching this. And an ad kicks in. Arrrggg
It's a hard life lol
Governor Sherwood retired bout 18mth ago
"Me, Curtis Wareen and.....Yasser Arafat" Haha was not expecting that name to be thrown in there 🤣
What's the time stamp
First ever suit made of 100% kitkat wrappers 😂😂
Apparently Mr. French here was a bit of a bully when he was imprisoned in Albany, he tried to steal the commissary from an Irish man who just entered the prison only to get smashed up by the Irish man who used a tin of peaches to rearrange his face, he stopped his bullying after that life lesson.
hahah
Just hope the Irishman never got charged with breach of the peach 🍑. 😁
Would love to of seen that
Never mate him but can’t stand him
I love tin peach but Frenchy not so much
Why would anyone waste ta energy on that lad, fucking bs
Yeah yeah that's a great interview yeah, yeah I really enjoyed it yeah ❤
Drinking game:- you take a shot everytime he says yeh yeh right
Yeah, right!!!
Im hammered 3 minutes in 🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪
Alcohol poisoning after 2 minutes.
ossified after 4 minutes.
Steven I was in risley with you and you were always up for a chat I walked the yard with you talking and I heard you with my own ear trying to encourage the young lads to turn their backs on crime 💯 I'm Douglas good listening to you again 😎 keep one step ahead of the the system and they can't crush your dreams
You know It is Britain when you hear that a gangster goes to court to sort their legal issues with other gangsters.
"Guess who was Leonidas? That would be me! Yeah, yeah, right!" XD
after a ten year run addicted to crack, I'm only a week into sobriety, and as I listen to your episodes while I struggle to sleep, I often find myself dreaming that I'm in jail and these stories are being told to me by my cellmate. it's a fuckin trip, sometimes it's nightmarish, sometimes the stories are being told to me by crazy fucks from my own past; on this particular day, I dreamt I was in a posh cell, fully furnished , a total fantasy vision of prison...the funniest part is when these stories are told and the person I see in my dream is a person, a criminal friend, from my own past. It really is a trip. I'm 41 now, goin on 50, a criminal-outlaw since the age of 4 or 5, believe it or not...and although, I've earned a Master's degree, I have talent, skills, here I am at rock bottom..alone, in debt, struggling to figure out how all this gets put back together. Do I have story to tell, would anyone listen...who the fuck knows, who the fuck would care anyway HA! Here's to you Shaun. Thank you for helping me get through the night.
How you getting on brother?
So you’ve got out of prison and you fantasise about being back in prison 😂 come on now
Go on man respect just happens to be watching this now and ya comment stood out speak ya mind say it how it is no worries with that brother cheers
I am trying to beat crack too keep going we will both get there good luck mate respect
I would listen
🇦🇺 🇦🇺
Cheers for the re re upload, just watching it now. And thank you Frenchy for sharing your story fascinating story.
Shaun my man do yourself a favour and invest in a more comfortable chair those 3 hours must have been a real stretch in the thing you're sitting on. Mad respect my dude 👍
Nearly 4 fucking hours ffs😩
The " yeah, yeah right " Devil
The best interviews are when the host shuts up and let's the interviewee talk and tell their stories. In this one Shaun nailed it.
Shaun got patience
Watched this both times you uploaded mate 👍 Keep up the good work Shaun 👌
How did you manage to get through it
@@Johnsmith-xd5gi yeah yeah right right yeah yeah
I thoroughly enjoyed that, the time flew by. Like your style Shaun of letting the guest get his say without interrupting but if it gets laboured you interject and get it back on track, not necessarily this one just in general.
Shaun is skilled and doing that.
The time flew by for you? What were you in a time machine?
Nobody in Liverpool had even heard of him till a few years ago he just came out of nowhere and he's supposed to be a legend?
No matter how many times you have to reupload Shaun I’ll still listen all ye way through
You deserve a medal, I couldn’t get past 3mins of this waffle
i know like torture in it,, ermm righ right ermm rught right ermm ermm ermm liten right right erm
Yeah, yeah right.
Brilliant, loved this. Great work Shaun.
Is Stephens Fb link working? I'm getting no luck?
Eat a fun size Snickers every time he says "yeah" and drink a quarter can of beer every "right"
I think I’d be in a coffin at the end
Nice one Shaun brilliant podcast ✌️
It’s great to hear you are turning your life around ! Congrats ! God Bless you!
Shaun. I love your work.
You know what. I’ve slagged him off I felt he had a bad showing on James English. However, he gets my support on the missing kids, political cover ups and sick elite agendas.
Looks in better frame of mind here.
@Scott Fraser he did say that now he does not want talk about his past, that is what he said before saying he has already answered all that can be answered and he states he wants to focus on turning things into positive things. A lot of people though do like to listen about the darker days and he said he done it this time just so the american side of the audience knew but wants the future to focused on
even a broken clock is right twice a day
@@shogun...... Not really :) A clock that has stopped will be correct at least twice a day, a broken clock can be one that is an hour behind or that has its movement speed in balanced :) understand what you mean though
Wouldn’t fancy asking him for directions if I was lost.
Saw this guy on Danny Dyer talking about reform. Few months later he went to jail. Does he think he’s impressing people or something? Talks so much bollocks half of the time
yeh yeh errr right, i was going to turn this off but i was addicted to the "yeah" like a crack head to the pipe. Always waiting for the next "YEAH"
Yeah yeah yeah right is back!!!! 🥰
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Brilliant interview .
Keep coming back to this when you need reminding that there's people with bigger issues out there.
Imagine without his notes, that's off the net. He's is trying not to laugh 🤣🤣🤣
i’m glad to see you are both awake to how the government works 👌
And when Stephen French says he chased Tommy Gilday down west Darby road he's chatting sh*t it was Tommy who chased him and then he knocked Stephen French clean out Tommy was the hardest guy in Liverpool before he died ye ye ye right !
Grow up lad
Alberto Owens told a less than flattering story about him in his book.Plus he’s a well known racist.
Alberto You believe him about what?
No one gives a shit about Liverpool gansters except people from Liverpool. They're irrelevent.
No1 is the hardest in any town. People get dropped down a peg everyday so to say he was lien is not fair. It could of well happened . We're you there like gangster
I love Shauns laid back interview style. No rush. He lets ppl talk. Keep up the good work!
Shaun brought out the best in SF, this interview is INFINITELY better than the Scottish guy's interview "yeah, yeah yeah, right!".
Shaun let the man get a word in will ya yeah yeah yeah yeah right right . Wow man you got the patience of a saint . At least all us lot can get up and do things . Bless ya tho mate love your channel and your activism keep the fight going my man .
The Gypsy on the pier who spoke to Stephen, if it was North pier, was my Grandma, she read palms etc for 90yrs on the pier n in the Winter Gardens.
she read my palm and somethings came true not all but some
I kept turning right now I'm lost in the middle of nowhere
Keep going and you’ll end up back where you started
I’ll build a roundabout for you. 😂
Thanks Shaun. Always interesting.
Amen there is nothing wrong with being a soldier for the most high
The guys got a speech impediment, take that away from the podcast and he actually has a good tale to tell.
Yeah? Oh yeah yeah yeah!
He must of said yea right bout 1000 times in 3 hours
Thanks Steven ! I am so happy you have turned your life around ! Great interview
Sounds like he’s been on the pipe for two weeks straight
He has a stammer. Ye ye ye right ok
Yea with lugar in hand
Imagine being on an armed blag with him?! Ggggggg g g get y y y yer fer fer fer fer fuckin ands up yer yer yer right.
Thank you. Watching and Listening from Alaska.
Even though I am from US, it's interesting that I can actually follow this story.
When a person is street wise you understand.
Absolutely brilliant
Met him in person, we spoke for 3hrs.
What a guy.
is that how long it took you to give him the slip
Erm Frenchie wanted another 3 hours to tell his story,,yes right, Right yes yes right erm yes right yes
This fellas a complete helmet
@huawei thirteenmegapixel no man in a red suit is wearing me you tool
I love the way Shaun allows the intervieee to express themselves by being totally focused on that individual You can see they trust him
Yeah right
He had no choice on this one 😅
express themselves? this muddyfunster never stops lad
@@daveywhyte6254😂😂😂
I just wanna say one thing.... Yea yea yea yea right?
After watching many of these interviews, I'm starting to think that these criminals might be stretching the truth just a tiny bit.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah right?
Only they are not.
Yeah yeah right. Apart from him chasing 300 guys down the street yeah yeah yeah I've chased 999 people down the street before
@@No1Melody I can guarantee you wud he shocked the majority are deluded an created a false self image cus they are unable to accept there own mundane existence.
@@phuckewe5876 l🤣🤣
@@phuckewe5876 the Grafton haven't heard that in ages omg
Great stuff , mention of the Quad
Ste I lived in TOXTETH ..I knew you you knew me ..I hung out with Jaffa Tomy Ali .Chris gibbo .we where all granby lads I was in the guidance unit on princes AVE with Peter o..when u turned up at Kirkland's etc I dreaded it ..lol you glared at me but I knew you knew I was from the area ..STE I have done same left Liverpool packed in door work ..I now have normal good job down south..
Yawn, this one went over my head. I prefer a two way conversation .
stephen " yea yea right" french
Great video shaun
The guy in the background keeps saying "yeah yeah yeah yeah " , that guy is also Stephen 🤣🤣
Good luck Mr French.. On your charity for men. We need it.. Pal.. Been there falsely.. Accused.... Its hell... Especially when it's all a stitch up.
Well done Stephen French
Respect, this is a good interview 🙂
take a drink every time he says yea yea
Fk no. I'd have alcohol poisoning in the first 2 minutes
brilliant interview. no reason for Frenchy to be telling fibs. he’s been through a ton and is now in his 60s!
60's really? He looks great for 60
This was a great podcast. The best podcasts/interviews are the ones where you let the guy speak instead of constantly interrupting them. I feel like Shawn does that really well and therefore gets the best out of whoever he is interviewing. Stephen French is a very intelligent man, and I'm glad he is mentally stable in his life and is wanting to do good.
He’s a pensioner with a bad cocaine habit.
Talking at 300 mph. Yeah yeah yeah yeah! 😂
Im 66 this summer never thought id get to that age bloody amazin when i sit and think
Can you please provide footnotes for this one Shaun
The hours have flew by while watching this, great video shaun
Coz you fell asleep?
@@Johnsmith-xd5gi HAHA :D nah Never grow bored of listening to stories regarding the pool
@@friarbishme thats all they are.. stories.. guys a pathological liar mate
@@Johnsmith-xd5gi Like he has said himself most of what he claims can be confirmed online on way or another, and i know that he is being honest about his early life in the pool as my family came from the exact same area of the pool, also he is correct on the only way to beat the system and get justice is by learning in depth the way the system operates and the vague guidelines they do it in, also not only useful for actions against police, politicians and the likes but helped me doing the same when my daughter faced being punished and removed from college for reasons which are down to her ADHD (poor concentration and being restless which would at times irritate the teacher), only through researching both the symptoms of the illness and equal rights had i learnt that to be told off and punished is discrimination (which is pretty obvious) but also that their had been failings in providing the adequate support required, even after telling them at a meeting i was told it was not true that it is discrimination, they had to accept it when i gave them official documents as proof. i know its different than taking officials to higher courts but the main principle of researching things in depth and do not rely on others to protect your rights. All the best :)
@@friarbishme my co d's are from tok, I'm from l4. I spent time inside with people who worked with him and friends of his. His stories are fabricated.. as told by real Liverpool gangsters
Yeh yeh right. Awesome. Legend
Best of luck Man ! ! ! ☺
That interview was great. It's a pity that Stephen wasn't still doing a bit of charlie. This would have been 3 times longer. 😂😂🤣. Good luck to the guy in all he aims for 👍🏽✌🏽🍻
Stephen the scrapyard story ties in with Paul Grimes first encounter with Curtis Warren
@ his scrapyard
As mentioned in his book Powder Wars ......................................................
Great patience Shaun
New drinking game take a shot every time Stephen say's 'Yeah Yeah Right''
“Yea yeah right” x1000.. *facepalm.
"well ard" in a Hale and Pace voice
😆
Nice job interview Spud
"He George Floyd'd me" hahahahahaha top bloke frenchy

Ye ye ye ye top bloke er right right
Respect to him
Banging video 🔥 but lots of yes 😂😂
When he sais 'yeah right' it sounds like someome else saying it lol
Dude.....wtf.....that is some funny shit. As soon as I read your comment I just see a cracked out Craig Charles hiding just out of cam range saying......YEAH! YEAH! RIGHT.... Good shit mate!!!
3 hours of yeah yeah yeah right right right.....no thanks
Has anybody counted how many times he says yeah yeah yeah yeah?
Impossible
Would need a computer for that and not sure one powerful enough for that has been invented yet
Yea yeah yeah I have yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

The Beatles did, they wrote a song about it called she loves you. 😂
Shaun what do you think about Mr French’s explanation about Aki?
Shaun’s face looks like he’d rather go back to the state penitentiary than listen any longer
these english gangsters definately dont suffer from low self esteem
He’s about as much of a gangster as Dennis the menace
i was locked up in hmp preston in 2013....stephen french is a good guy i spoke to him a few times and he is a good judge of character....i saw no arrogance or attitude in him he was polite and respectful and knows about other cultures and values/traditions......i was very suprised.....although known as the devil i only saw a good trying to redeem himself
Love it where he says he in seg and he starts to recite that poem, then he reads the whole poem out, then says well I got a few words in and bang!
Ah it froze up on your last question I didn’t get to hear the question or answer bummer ! Great Broadcast Shaun thank you and thank you the “devil “ I am sorry sir I forgot your real name ! I pray you stay away from anything illegal and be happy and I hope you get your dream !
Shaun you must get aki on we all want it what an interveiw that would be
