    As a former surveillance operative, I shuddered when he told the bit about seeing the cop with the earpiece and then seeing the same bloke in the petrol station. 😂 great interview and what a nice lad this bloke is. Proper humble respectful geezer

      Nah he actually hasn't done it a lot, and when he did mention that his name can be googled, it was within the context of the situation when he was in prison, through out the interview he has been honest and real

Hope your well pal, don’t have your number anymore but hope you and the family are all good. Winning the Essex cup with one twenty was one of the best nights of my life and you scored the winner. Amazing honesty as always your a good man mate xx

    Dude is like the most normal looking, average, nice dude. No stories about bashings and slashings. Just like a high end delivery driver.
    I have a 5 year old son and I could only imagine the pain he had when he knew he might not be able to see them for a long time.

      Because he is white 🙄 the racist media in the UK 🇬🇧 demonise when ever a Black man or Asain man sells drugs but whites sell class A drugs in Europe 🇪🇺 or America 🇺🇸 🤔 they some how normal down to earth so tjey get a pass and not demonised because they are white.

    What a superb watch. It's impossible to dislike Frank. Speaking openly and honestly (and for someone dyslexic very eloquently) about his life. He's done his time but life still throwing unfair curve balls. Who is the BBC to judge him and his record when they paid & knowingly allowed nonces to abuse 'us' as an audience! Good luck Frank and amazing podcasts Dodge keep 'em coming! 👍

    This podcast just popped up on my feed out of the blue yesterday for some random reason. It's my second one I watched completely. Because I am American and not use to listening to the different U.K. accents, I did the best I could to get through to the end. Frank's story is incredible & I was completely taken in as if I were reading someone's autobiography!!! Frank was honest, humble, and taught us all a life lesson (reality) which I totally appreciate!!! Not to detour from the main reason Frank was there, but he's such a great looking guy BECAUSE he didn't do those insidious drugs/alcohol/cigarettes? That's why he still has that somewhat baby face. Those vices age a person fast. To look at Frank one would never know what he has been through!!! I hope only the best for Frank & precious his family!!! Great interview, questions too!! I subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to being more entertained and educated, thanks!!! 🇺🇸💕

    Saw Frank on Shaun Attwood's podcast but enjoyed this just as much. I like that he's just a normal guy trying to make his way and build a better life for himself and his kids. Doesn't mean what he did was right but I can tell he's a good guy who made a few bad decisions. Makes a refreshing change seeing someone genuine who's not trying to big themselves up as a gangster or a hard nut 😂

    Great interview. I can totally relate to Frank, I've had a similar experience, and also wasn't from that world. The hardest part about prison was being away from your kids, and once back on the outside your kids are the perfect motivation to get your life sorted to not put them through that again. I wish Frank all the best.

I met him in a totally different world and could tell he was obviously something, even if i hadnt knew his reputation already. Police followed him around 24/7 around this era.

Was overweight from eating crap from the deli every single day... Farst forward 15 years.. My mum said to me sombody got arrested up the road the other night for selling cannabis.. I said who ? This guy !!!! I swear man, his house was raided, he had rented a property on the outskirts of the town and was growing a full house of the stuff.. He was supposedly selling monster ammounts of the stuff until the law got ears on it.. Hes now serving 7 years in prison.... Still trips me out when I think of him....
