- In the gritty world of “Behind the Walls” ex-prison officer Sam Samworth takes us on a gripping journey through the dark corridors of Strangeways Prison. In episode 3 we delve into the life of one of Manchester’s most notorious figures, Dominic Noonan English gangster and sex offender.
Born to Irish parents and raised in Manchester’s Whalley Range suburb, Noonan was one of 14 siblings, all with names beginning with the letter “D” but it wasn’t family ties that defined him, it was his criminal legacy alongside his brothers Damien and Dessie Noonan who specialised in armed robbery, he left a trail of fear and chaos in his wake!
Noonan’s criminal empire extended beyond mere theft, he and his brother Desmond “Dessie” Noonan headed a notorious criminal organisation in Manchester during the 1980s and 1990s. Their reign of terror included armed robbery, police assault, possession of firearms, prison escapes, and fraud. Dominic Noonan’s rap sheet boasts over 40 convictions making him a seasoned inmate with more than 22 years spent behind bars across Britain.
But there’s more to Noonan’s story. His adopted name Domenyk Lattlay-Fottfoy, is an acronym that speaks volumes “Look After Those That Look After You - F*** Off Those That F*** Off You” and when the cameras roll we’ll explore the murky depths of his criminal mind, the alliances he forged, and the secrets he harboured behind the walls.
Join us as we unravel the enigma of Dominic Noonan a man whose notoriety echoes through the prison walls leaving an indelible mark on Manchester’s criminal history. Brace yourself for a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the life of the most infamous inmate where survival, loyalty and betrayal collide in a world hidden from view.

Huge amount of respect for how you told this. Everyone who knows something about the Noonans has heard of that filthy nonce and the way you spoke of him getting along with that nasty screw says it all - people like that get off on power over others and bullying. What you saw in that young lad says that you have real compassion and that is one of the things that's missing from society in general but especially in the prison industrial complex or when it comes to people that are marginalised generally. Imagine how many lives have been ruined by monsters like Domenic Noonan and lets not fool ourselves into thinking he was the only nonce in that world - it is full of them. The Krays were at it and set up rent boys for politicians like Lord Boothby. Jimmy Savile was basically a gangster who got to the top by "procuring" for politicians, "royals" etc. and these people are all the same. After his brothers died, Domenic seemed to become a joke and I was genuinely glad to see him get sent down for his disgusting nonce behaviour. Everyone knew about it but no one did anything because of his brothers mainly and even they were embarrassed by him. Remember that documentary they made about him? Even in that he was surrounded by kids. A fckin disgrace and I hope that one of the many poor lads that suffered at his hands gives him a good slashing. I shouldn't say it but everyone agrees that nonces are the lowest of the low, even though organised crime is full of them. Don't buy into notions of "noble" gangsters cos plenty of them are complete dirty wrong'uns and even the names who have been said to be "benevolent" are actually full on psychopaths who get off on hurting others. There are other "Domenic Noonans" out there but they are actually heavy and have their own reputation, whereas he just got away with his bollocks because of Desmond and Damian before him. Even Desmond ended up fcked on crack and getting stabbed on Cheetham Hill and he spoke of what a sh*tty life it was, but Domenic used it to basically groom kids. Not to say that he didn't do work but without his brothers he would've been taken out years ago for being a fat sweaty nonce bully and that's basically what has happened, although he was lucky enough to get put inside before some poor kid who grew up in it went for him.
But my main point was to commend Sam Samworth for his compassion and seeing that poor kid's behaviour for what it was. I'm so used to people talking all hard about scum like Domenic and I even went on a rant myself but to see someone speak for the victims is refreshing and I have a lot of respect for it. I hope the kid is alright. A lot of kids had to suffer that monster.
Thanks for the comment, I’ve pinned it because I fully agree, thanks for your thoughts means a lot 🍰☕️
paul massey once put a tweet on twitter insinuating he was a bacon.
I think the young poor lad your referring too might be stephen Tracey hes dead now he died from drug abuse RIP you may be referring to another off Noonan victims but I know Stephan was god bless hes soul RIP
Thank you for your comment I truly feel every word you said was honest and straight to the point. Best wishes Ireland 🇮🇪
@@Davey14 massey used to slate Dominic all over his FB page
I saw the Mcintire docu film about the Noonans, Dom Noonan came across as a Peter Kay character from Phoenix nights, and that Codey Lachey was a real piece of comedy gold. 🤣
so true Joe, that Lacky was a pure nonce, I reckon he was like that horrible monster that followed Saville around, feeding off his leftovers,
Changed his name to match aswell what a bum licker
Exactly, I saw that documentary myself and I just couldn’t believe what I was watching, I said to my ex wife that he was nothing but a nonce, walking around with a gang of nothing but kids, he had them all dressed up like Chicago gangsters from the prohibition era, and going around collecting money from people for his and his gangs protection, it was a comical farce to be honest with you, but years later I was proven right because he was convicted for abusing young boys the dirty horrible bastard.
What's happened to cody...
@@maxwellmc9734 He got caught on film trying to coax a woman into s e x with a d o g ffs...he made a quick exit from his you tube channel after that and seems hes just disappeared. The woman in question was far worse than him.
I enjoy watching these videos and you speak from the heart , keep up the good work mate hope all is well health wise and be good x
Great vlog as usual Sam
Great stuff as always Sam 👍🙏
How do Sam, always good to hear your stories you explain things very articulately makes for good listening 👍
I can always feel the passion burgeoning as you speak Sam and your utter contempt for injustice especially against the vulnerable. I love your channel and I think your message is extremely important
Sam..the voice of reason,good stuff as always mate👍
Really like your videos
Told very well
I have very much respect for you sir
Thnx for telling you’re storys💯
Hey you fae Manchester??
Sam thanks for keeping it 💯👍, great to hear your podcast .
great vlog as always. i remember when his little suited gang glued their hands to the doors of Strangeways i think it was about 2012 I walked passed it on my way to work.
Sad story that, look forward to your upcoming interviews.
Fascinating 👍 thanks
Keep up the good work Sam, the videos/podcasts are a great listen. It does remind me of the days I was in and out for petty shit, I just wish there were more officers in jails/prisons that were like you. Sadly you know that there was a few wrong 'uns.
Well said. 👏👏
Noonan was the youngest of the brothers and always depended on his older and more tougher brothers but when they went he lived of there names , Dominic was nothing and never will be anything,he enjoyed having young easily led chomps who were told they were gangsters because they worked for a noonan , Dominic never gained respect off anyone that's why he tried to bully people , he was nothing
There was a young Noonan stabbed to death years ago
Proper nonce
He can fight he was a tasty fighter in his day TBF.
To be honest I seen Dominic a few times have a fight and he could scrap , granted he is what he is but to say he couldnt fight is mad , well apart from the time he was knocked out in Salford just before he got sent down before the historic cases came out
They were all nonces.
Great video as always!! Thanks for getting back to me after I emailed you with some concerns the other day👍🏻Kathy xx
hi sam i remember donal macintyre doing a documatary on this guy my heart truly goes out to all his victims thank you for sharing your perspective its truly important to highlight and discuss these type of topics have a nice evening
I remember that , Noonam had children doing his dirty work !
A hint of lavender. 😂

@@michaelandrews3251 Poor Bugsy ended up in prison too
Hi, Sam. that point you raise about commanding respect, and demanding respect being two totally different things is something 'd never thought of before. But I see now that you're quite correct.
It's like a military commander who knows what he is doing and fights alongside his men, in which case he commands their respect which is freely given. For instance like Captain Winters in Band Of Brothers. Whereas others who demand respect, like Captain Sobel, will never receive that respect from the men, even though they may pretend they respect him.
Your the man sam!!!!.....the voice of comman sense.keep it up fella.
Hi Sam, I'm from the nxt town from you, I remember traipsing to strangeways when my brother was there, early 90s, just after the riots, half the roof was still missing, my brother, never had a fight, never violent, but sadly, drugs got a hold, I used to go by train, then bus, then visiting centre, then taken in to see him, he wouldn't, T.I.C, some charges, so they put him on the ghost train, it was a nightmare, I'd turn up n they shipped him out, Liverpool, Durham, Doncaster, ect, every other day, thankfully he's been drug free, for nearly 20 years, has a job and family now, but it's hard for families as well, we do the time, but not the crime.
Another belter
All your vids of prison life very interesting just trying to find your books ! Can you point us to the names
Big respect to you sir I couldn't do the job you did,thank you for your service and helping keep those evil monsters off the streets and again thank you and God bless 🙏
Nice pod Sam
great video Sam
Hello there Sam from a long time follower. Hope all is well on the home front and going forward. Shout out to your puddle drinking side-kick too. New Zealand.
The Noonans 'documentary' was hilarious ! 😂😂
Reflective 👍✅
It's strange to get my head around. Salford lads in jail would smash up nonces but a lot still would shake Dominic's hand if they cross paths with him. People are strange (The Doors) 🎶
It isn't your standard nonse.
The historic sex crimes they sent him away for were when he was 16 years old.
And the "victims" are pretty suspect themselves.
Don't get me wrong. he's a horrible. scary bastard .
But I don't buy the label they've put on him.
@@MrBollocks10for someone like myself who doesn’t know this dude could you elaborate slightly on what he was and was doing?
@MrBollocks10 you're talking your name chief he is a full blown real genuine standard nonce and you seem to worship him, which is worrying.
@@Eleventhearlofmars he was fiddling boys from any age he could get his hands on.
@@MrBollocks10 your name is right. Everyone knew what he was up to and they turned a blind eye, he was nonceing kids for years and he wasn't sent down from crimes he committed when he was 16. Have a look at the case, at least what's public. He was at it for decades and they only got him after Dessie died and he became a joke. To the original comment, it was probably a mixture of not knowing the full extent (i.e. he was into men but not a nonce so look the other way kind of thing) and also because of his brothers, when they were still around. But there were plenty of people who did know and would've happily finished him off but he could always threaten them with Dessie, even though he ended up fkced on crack and got stabbed to death by some dealer in Cheetham Hill. After that the police finally got him but they were probably waiting for him to be on his own because he was just a fat bully nonce who used his name to groom kids. @MrBollocks10 are you his pal or something? I've never heard anyone doubt "the label" they put on him. That label was on him for as long as the Noonans were a big deal.
I too worked with Noonan at F S but because there were that many big hitters on the wing he never really stuck out.I think he was on the book for a while and he had his little joeys doing all of his running,the only thing i can really remember was he was always doing impressions of the radio which used to wind up the new staff.
My great respect to you for the good and bad of things you have seen in your career, I feel for the lad you were talking about Thank you
Worked in the dispersal system 70s and 80s with many high profile cons never came across this respect thing, only the Irish cons at that time wouldn’t speak to you and went through the higher ranks for their needs, they were never actually difficult to deal with or disrespectful
Mr sameorth Can you do one on Leicesters warren slaney
He’s a beast nobody should be talking about
Great stories of your past. I remember that documentary on Noonan! Didn't his brother become an actor? Nice dumbbell rack! You have built those dumbbell's yourself! I tried to get in the Prison service in 1988. Interview at Sherwood Prison, the officer and governor interviewed me and ripped my cv mistakes to bits so I didn't the job. They said I would not last a day!
Sam can you do a video on a young offenders institution on how different they are compared to adult prisons please
Noonan is a Speedo(not the swim wear)
So they say.
He's definitely a poofter.
I'm not sure about nonce though.
The historic shite that he was convicted was when he was 16 years old.
Not really real noncy stuff.
The "S" fell off his shorts
@@glenndouglas8822😂😂😂😊
Hi Sam, regarding your last point on this video, did you ever come across Peter Fury in prison, i know he was in strangeways at some point and elsewhere etc, cheers.
I didn’t ever come across Peter in my time 🍰☕️
Keep up what you are doing, Sam, brother
I worked in forest bank for a window company in the infustries and asked the staff about noonan and they basically said none of the screws give him any shit whatsoever and some was pretty scare of him
He always seemed to be the runt of the litter of Noonans
Do you mean runt with a C.
He was.
That's very true
Lad out Waterloo Rd I knew used come stay family in Blackpool from Manchester worked for noonan he was in the documentry
You good Sampson .. I’ve not seen you on here for a while … hope your good mate
How do Sam. Hope you and the family are good.
Love watching Sam, so interesting
You have a good heart sam.
Proper wrongun loved the young boys
Come across him a few times in early 2000 when I was at Quay watch he used to drive a volvo marked like a cop car I knew is brother Damien as well I' will tell you a true story one Sunday we had a relief driver in he had pulled up behind Damien on decote avenue Damien got out and pointed a gun against the side grill on the Ford transit he came back straight in we was based in Salford court throw the keys and ran off not nice I saw Damien next day at the butty van he had a smirk and said I was in a bad mood yesterday funny situation to be in I just started laughing we was always told to ignore the noonans turn a blind eye that was from the home office and the council very dangerous family
Sounds about right, Damien was supposedly the smartest and had everything worked out and Dessie was just a heavy c8nt and a killer but Domenic the nonce just lived off the name so he could groom boys. Of course he was involved but when the two main brothers died, he was just a laughing stock and I don't think he'd have been jailed if Dessie was still around cos even when he was fucked on crack he was still dangerous and feared, although the dealer who stabbed him to death didn't fear him obviously. Shame Dom the nonce didn't suffer the same fate - that's probably why the police moved on him properly when they did cos he was nothing without his brothers from what I've always heard.
How do, Sam? I hope all is well ❤️🇨🇦
Fair play saying it how it is...
His pad was always a shit hole in Whitemoor.
Like you say though always paid more attention to the YPs
Youre alright mate.
Driving about with a little boy next to him! WTF?
Interesting
Top man Sam, hard days were those prison time, I was on the other end of yourself, Brinsford 97(juvenile), 99 Stoke Heath(YOI),00 Shrewsbury (cons), 01 Stafford(cons), im going to honestly say it was the best time of my life, but to be honest most of the screws were hard but fair, "thats how it should be", God Bless mate!
Did you ever come across warren slaney pal
Noonan the N.O.N.C.E
Don’t know if you’ve heard of Hammy the P**f from Glasgow. (Life caught up with him) but he sounds exactly the same as Dominic. Walked from several High Court charges. Ended up with a lifer. Meant to appear for historic charges. A scouser with a terminal illness took the Derry. No more Hammy
Martin Farrelly was charged with his murder. Rest in pieces Hammy
Love a bit of mince
Hi sam did you come across keith pringle in the cat As
Not much info
Your a top man 😊👍
Soon as i seen that documentary with him and all the young lads with him all the time i said to my mrs he aint right.
His brothers was the force he was nothing without them
Roger and Rodney Kray were the bad boys in the big house.
The only one of the brothers that had respect in Manchester was damien he was the main man dessi3was nothing but a bully and Dominic was just a wrongun
But scary as fuck.
I'm 100% sure you wouldn't be disrespecting any of them to their faces.
Sounds like your defending them@@MrBollocks10
@elvisthewart670
Just telling it like it is.
It's not about defending him or not.
It's about the truth.
I've had him in my face and it's extremely scary.
He's a proper unit.
And skilled in intimidation.
He might be a puff but don't let that fool you.
Always heard it about Damian and that he was serious and had the brains but Dessie was still pretty serious in his way and did a lot of actual dirt after Damian died, "enforcing" and all that. He wasn't his brother though and people actually liked and respected Damien whereas people were just scared of Dessie. As for Dom, he was always a fat filthy nonce bully (some thought he was just gay and turned a blind eye but plenty knew that he was a full on pedo) and only got away with it because of his name. Dessie was still feared right up until he got stabbed up due to his crack habit but he had lost the plot over the years. After that Dom the nonce just became an obvious joke and got sent down before some poor victim managed to catch up with him. I don't reckon the police would've got him if Dessie was still around even though Dom the nonce was always an embarrassment.
Shut up u don't no what u are talking abt derek was thr main one he was the quiet one who done most of the murders fact damian was underneath dessie aswell dessie was top Pals with the main men from the ira before who started smoking crack
Put me into thinking mode about some of those 'lost or ruined types ' I came across while watching this my friend,,,,,makes us appreciate no matter how hard our own lives are if we take a second to think of others we soon realise we should always be grateful,,,,anyway I think it's time we gave another episode what would this one be episode 8 ??? End up like the fast and furious franchise Haha, speak soon mate 💙👊
I remember a noonan from hacienda days 😂
i must add from watching you on Sean Attwood your a true yorkshire man and career you give many years experience to just as in life you take no shit and treat anyone they way you expect be treated good to hear your experiences and ffs it be like being a babysitter of large scale mafia as a job u be so easy found when you leave working enviorement to be manipulated with threats on your loved ones hope you got a skip in your step back Sam n good wishes to you
0:18 nice 1 sam❤️🇬🇧💯 0:55
Dominic Noonan was nothing after the death of brothers Damien and Desi.
Seen you on a few things pal, didn’t know you had your own channel👍 subbed and looking forward to hearing many more stories…. And Dominic Noonan was a complete bastard from what I’ve heard…. Well his crime report says it all… knobhead, hope your good pal 👌
Very echoey in there Sam!
I feel as though I have come full circle this past week at work. I wasted around 6 years of my life in jail. Past almost 2 years I been driving a lorry all over the UK working away all week. This week, I picked up a load of safer custody furniture from manufacturer in Spennymoor in Durham to take into HMP Bristol. It felt strange to drive a wagon into the gatehouse instead of being in the back waiting to go into reception. I had to hand in all my phones, electronic devices and cables and even my personal kit into a locker in the sterile area.
I got the feeling when I was in Holme House with Noonan that he be the type to prey on vulnerable young lads on the wing
What happened to the young protege aaron he had on the show? He was bragging about dealing had hood up skinhead etc,
Noonan was still is a bacon I took him for a boot ride once floating around my 13 yr old son .
Did u really lad 😂😂 is this the 1 time a RUclips gangster comment is legit .....I have a sneaky feeling u not lying....😂😂
@@user-ws1hb5eq1n definitely mate some years ago now.
Bollocks
@@user-ws1hb5eq1n 😬😂😂😂
I dont think you'd fit Dominic in a boot would ya ??
I don’t know anyone in the ways bk then that had any respect for Dominic the Beast
Only as hard as you let them be.
Remember walking into a club in Manchester with Dom dressed as a gay cowboy doing YMCA with the man Arron who was the guy who sucked his thumb in the original documentary ,apart from this time he wasn't sucking a thumb although it looked similar....
Sami they’ve all got that look about them and noonan had it in spades
Top man, telling the truth about that animal
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Hi Sam, its quite amazing how many people turn up at the funerals of these gangsters, even Myra Hindley had a fan club its like watching a parade of demons following the antichrist.
I will probably die alone and have very few if any mauners will turn up at my funeral, it matters not though because I will not know anything about it.
Some of the nicest people i have known had small funerals and some of the biggest tossers and scumbags have had large funerals. The size of a funeral is not a barometer of the person.
@@dublinsfaircity if anything, funerals with large processions are an indication of the person in the coffin being a major bellend. Look at how many people turned out for the Krays who were bigger nonces than noncey Dom Noonan. Jimmy Savile as well.
You should have given us the lowdown on Noonan to start with.
Instead of telling us to look it up.
Walked past his brothers grave an hour ago.
Yea,ya can’t lose Damien and Desmond with out replacing them with equally powerful men but obviously he couldn’t do that and strangely sorrounded himself with young lads who’s ability and loyalty couldn’t be compared to his brother’s , he is not the man he tried to claim he was
He was a joke when his brothers died. Even Dessie ended up a crackhead although he was still feared, he was a mess tho and obv got stabbed up due to his habit. Dom was a laughing stock and I don't reckon he'd have got sent down even if Dessie was alive, even tho he was an embarrassment to the family.
Dominic norman is a predator
Dom and his brother Barry Norman used to watch dodgy videos together
Sam did ever work prison were wee (Paul ferris ) was doin time ??
I'd like to hear about this. Paul Ferris has some interviews on here and I think he would've done all of his time in Scotland given that the law is different there and they have prisons for Scottish prisoners. I don't think that someone sentenced in Manchester would get sent to Barlinnie for example or vice versa but I could be wrong. And he might have done time in England anyway. There's a serious gangster from Glasgow who also worked in Liverpool and was even a suspect in the Jill Dando murder case because he was a serious hitter, like the kind of person MI5 hire to take out someone in the establishment and then frame some daft bastard like Barry George who did 8 years for that murder. I wont say his name but Sam might know who I mean and you might as well. A serious guy and basically always kept a low profile but did do time for murder/might still be doing time.
@@the_local_bigamist he was in Frankland and few others when done his part his sentence in fact .out his sentence was done in English prisons m8 he got caught with sub machine guns in London that was his last big sentence so he Sam might have had interaction with him in English system
Did you come acriss peter fury in jail ?
Approximately 50 odd seconds in you say and l quote “lm a humble screw the lowest of the low” WRONG you are not at all,the prisoners may think that but l highly doubt the general public do - which thankfully outnumbers the prisoners by millions. Personally l think you do a job that many wouldn’t even contemplate. Many people hate on the police too - you generally find it’s people who are committing crime - we the country would be lost without you guys 👏👏👏👏
When are we going out on the bikes Sam ???
I just don't get why people would do crime knowing they'll get locked up in prison.
Like, who the hell wants to end up as some thugs property and be bent over in the bunk most nights and biting hard into the pillow, if you catch my drift

I've never been a priSon officer, i sort of ended up on other side of fence, but i did work in psychiatric care, and some of the residents had history of inappropriate sexual behavior and some of them were just creatures, taking advantage of the British mental health laws, dont get me wrong some had served long stays in monster mansion before ending up with us but it was hard to be around some of the blokes after reading there history, it was a hard job sometimes.
