To anyone who hasn't seen the movie Chopper, give it a go, it's a fantastic film.
Might watch it later. It's brilliant.
One of the best stories of someone’s life ever made 💪
Read the books to ..fookin brilliant 💯
Eric Bana plays Chopper to a T , great film.
Yea man.... One of them films I try to watch at least once a year... Like Rollerball, James Caan version. Epic!
As an Aussie we grew up seeing chopper in the media just like any other celebrity or politician ...my dad thought he was a goose but I was always fascinated to hear about him. To me he was my generations jack Dugan, the wild colonial boy or Ned Kelly. I read his books and by the time the Chopper movie came out i was in high school , and to this day it’s still one of my all time favourite films . Eric Banners performance of him is spot on. Good video mate 👍🏼🇦🇺
Nice message. Thank you. I love the film aswell
All the best 👊🥊
@@mattlegg1976 all good mint channel Matt ..new sub 👊🏻
He was just a psychopath, they're charming but scratch the surface and they're just animals
Your dad was right
Don't compare this tosser with Ned Kelly
He was just a tool
And a self confessed snitch etcetera.
Eric Bana did a sterling job playing Chopper in the movie.
In my opinion
Better than Hardy did with Bronson
Yeah, good movie. Was a cruel 'Stand-Over man, but you could never believe a word from his lips! Even in his books. Most of the crims he said he knew, said they never met him! This is in the '80's. Anyway, to much about him to mention here.
Bloody sterling job.
Last time I was in jail we used to watch Chopper once a month. All his phrases were daily banter for us. My particular favourite is, " I think Keithy's done himself a mischief."
Nice little photo
🤣🤣 Really, lol.
It always makes me laugh.
I've watched it about 20+ times .
🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 I still love it now. One of my favourites
@@mattlegg1976 Beethoven had his critics too Keith can you name 3
@theoutlier9053.. gotta say....when someone opens up a comment with "... last time I was in jail" ...it gets my attention 🤣😂
Another video well put together matt. Thank you for your time & effort in putting this content out. Its Much appreciated cheers.
Thank you for watching and messaging.
All the best 👊🥊
Another great video Matt, with brilliant detail!🥊
Another great episode from Mr. Legg. I am so glad I subscribed to this channel. Mr. Legg proves to me that being a great fighter is only a small part of your overall character. Good manners and intelligence, both of which Mr. Legg possesses, are far more important
Thank you Steve, I appreciate that mate 🥊
Aww, nice one, Matt ... it's great to hear about Ol' Chop Chop ... I read all his books yonks ago and he's always struck me as the type of guy who'd be great to have a couple of "quiet" beers with . .
RIP Mark Brandon Read.
Thanks again, Matt!
Pete 🏴
I'm enjoying your Australian stories Matt.
Thank you. I love the Australian side of it.
I have family in Australia
👊🥊
Great content as always matt👍
Great stuff Matt. Chopper has always been a legend to me. He seemed to make a mockery of the Australian criminals. He showed no fear of anyone and he was a Great shot. No messing or missing.
Made a mockery of the new drug based crims. But the old school standover crims inspired him. Make no mistake, old school Victorian crims, tough as nails, cunning as hungry rats.
This is great journalism 👏 much appreciated
Loved this matt .now time to catch up with your other vids .great channel 💯
He was one of a kind. That 60 minutes interview is well worth a look. Great video Matt. 😊
Thank you Rex
Yeah he was a character for sure 🥊👊
he's a grass and that's out off his mouth talking about it theres video and photos of him helping the police and he's a walter mitty and thats out of his own mouth and dont say he just grassed drug dealers he didn't he grassed everyone for whatever reason he's the biggest liar in the world of celebrity criminals
Great episode. Thanks Matt 👍🏻👍🏻
You certainly don't muck around Matt!! It was only last week that I was asking your opinion on choppers legendary character and his status and you said that you would research him and do a video on him and as always and true to your word here we are and I'm impressed with your speed!! I've known you for a long time and you never cease to amaze me with your knowledge and just when I thought I knew of most of the celebrities you have met you pull out another one!!! When I mentioned chopper to you I had no idea that you actually knew the man!!!! Kudos to you Matt!!! Your content just keeps on getting better and better and now I'm seeing channels that are doing pieces about you and your life and well deserved it is to mate!!!! You are a legend in your own right and mk is very proud to be able to call it one of its own and no one could meet a more genuine, kind and thoughtful person!!! Well done Matt you are well on your way to making your channel one of the most popular channels on the subject of hard men because you know your stuff!!! Take care bro and love to your family...... Pope x 👌👌👍👍👍👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏
Pope, thank you so much Brother.
Yeah Im really enjoying making the videos.
I'm glad you're good mate.
I've got one tomorrow on Gary Mason.
Hopefully see you soon.
Lots of love x
as ever,another great video Matt
Loved reading Choppers books, one crazy man, complete loony, with a crazy sense of humour, thanks for video Matt
His books were funny as f#ck.He certainly knew how to make people laugh and how to tell a good craic.
Seen the film and a few documentaries, chopper was definitely not someone you would want to cross but at the same time funny and down to earth, cheers for the upload Matt, another interesting watch👊
Another fascinating story Matt, hope there's many more to come
I love how Matt delivers the story, here's the difference between good and bad channels, I don't need to see the video to know the story, if I'm driving Matt's channel is one of the few who knows how to tell a story, very well done and if you haven't subscribed you definitely should💯👊
I met Chopper at a Melbourne pub in 2001. I think it's called the Retreat, in Nicholson St, Abbottsford. It was one of those cringeworthy situations where the friend I was with was the son of a guy who had some kind of friendship with Chopper. I felt the introduction was humiliating, but we were invited to sit down for a drink. He was drinking tomato juice, I think. Possibly a Bloody Mary, but given his liver issues... I spoke almost exclusively to his partner, who seemed very nice, and this was far less vomit inducing than what my hero-worshipping friend was doing with her man. The guy just wanted to be left alone...
He used to sell speed at Collingwood flats through Kenny’s apartment - around that time.
Great vid again Matt
Thank you. Excellent stuff keep on making great content
Well presented Matt, thank you.
Thank you 🥊
Enjoyed that Matt 👍.
Great video Matt 👍
Great video Matt.✌️
As always, a great video Matt.
Chopper was and still is a fascinating character. Huge respect.
Thank you. I find him fascinating aswell 🥊👍
Thanks for another great video Matt
I remember when Channel 4 started and they had all the odd stuff on late at night and I watched first "Once We Were Warriors" and found that disturbing and the Chopper film with Eric Bana always wondered what the true story was.
Another great insight
All the best and thanks for doing these
Wasn't expecting this brilliant thanks
Before he died when i was younger in melbourne i met chopper in a bar in melbourne. The guy was genuinely terrifying, was the first time ive experienced someone being so calm yet so menacing at the same time
I met Chopper while he was doing his tours. The publican bought a bike from my shop and noticed I had a Chopper DVD and book on my counter and asked if I was a fan. Yeah, I like the video. So he took my number and said I’ll give you a call soon. Ok. 2 weeks later I get a call, it’s the publican. He takes me out to a private beer garden and Chopper, Roger Rogerson and Mark Jacko Jackson were sat at a table.
Chopper looked just like a normal old bloke. Jacko was a bloody brick wall. An absolute beast. Roger was just an old man.
We sit down, shake hands, introduce each other and I realised that out of the people at the table, half of them had killed multiple people.
So we just had general chit chat, drank our beers, laughed, talked some more shit, and after another beer they had to get ready for their show and I had to go back to work and close up and get ready for the show.
Wow! That's an experience, lol
Thank you 🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 Cheers! Yeah it sure was. It was crazy talking to Rog, he’s the ‘disgraced’ Aus cop who is now in jail for murdering a drug dealer, he was just a good old bloke, and honest to god just spoke like he was your grand dad and seemed really out of place there, despite at the time having killed I think 3 or 4 blokes.
I cannot emphasise just how big Jacko was. He was an AFL football player and the man was a beast. His torso was basically a fridge. Gigantic. Funny thing is he was in a boxing match for charity with Mal Meninga, a NRL player and Meninga just floored him like a rag doll. But I swear to god you could store a Range Rover motor inside Jackos chest cavity.
Chopper was really quiet, very subdued, almost uncomfortable at first. I didn’t want to talk to him about the usual shit like his ears, or the usual boring stuff so I mentioned his books, I was a pawnbroker at the time so everyone sort of had a story about pawnbrokers, Chopper made a joke and said I must be the toughest bloke at the table doing that job and I think asked if I was armed and made a few jokes like that, and once he had relaxed a bit he was more talkative, but he didn’t really lead the conversation like I thought he would.
Now funnily enough, during the show, I suspect he had some performance enhancing materials, I’ll say, because he was talking 100mph, shouting, jumping up and down, super hyped up, really on the go… or goey.
I heard that Jacko saw a couple of blokes beating up someone and he went to help the man by beating up his attackers as for fighting Mal Meninga I can believe he floored him as Mal in his prime was massive I couldn’t believe the size of him when I went to the footy
@@MickAngelhere Yeah Jacko would have done that, he was seriously a nice dude, like really genuine, and really polite and nice, and when I remarked how big his chest was he played it down and said my arms would give his a run (not even close) but he was just really friendly and playful like that, kinda playing himself down and complimenting you, if you know what I mean. Meninga must be damn huge then because I’ve managed a gym before with some massive bodybuilders and I swear to god Jacko would be every bit as big as what they were. The man was a beast.
Load of garbage
When I saw the story of Collins going missing in the paper, it was only a little article buried deep in the paper. I saw Mark the next day and asked him "did you do it?". Mark never lied to me once when I asked him about his past. His answer to that was "the Sydney Police came down and asked me the same thing, and I told them I didn't do it". I didn't ask him about it again after that. The Police say he didn't do it, but I don't know. In the 60 Minutes story, they interviewed Jacko, and he said it was BS and that they hadn't even started touring when Collins disappeared. I know that to be wrong, as I moved to NSW in 2002 and saw Chopper, Jacko and Roger do their show at the Bondi Hotel. The girl who emceed their show drove me home that night, and told me she met Mark 3 tours back and had emceed the last two NSW tours., so I know they'd been there previously.
Another great vid brother, keep it up
Hi Matt. Been watching a few of your vids. Great stuff mate, very informative, keep it up. Love the format of your content. You've just scored another subscriber from Australia. Cheers!
Hi, ah thank you very much.
3500 of my subscribers are Australian, so I'll be doing more content for you guys.
All the best 🥊👊
Great video Matt. I'm from Chopper's haunt, Tasmania.
Another great video 👌
Brilliant pick @MattLegg - Chopper was some character and good to see you tell about some different characters from the usual British guys. He was also absolutely hilarious, definitely didn't let the truth get in the way of a good story. "no I didn't take him to the bloody hospital!! Furthermore it's insulting, it's bloody insulting. Am I the only stand up man in the country who provides a medical plan for these characters?" Brilliant film and cracking story Matt, you've spoke to some amazing people over the years Matt, which goes to show your calibre too my man. Yet another cracking watch, cheers Matt.
Great video mate really look forward to them
Great summary 👍🇦🇺
This was a good one Matt 😅
Great video again
Good content recently about people from Australia. Broadening your horizons👍😃
Been looking forward to this
Hi Matt, I hope you are well. I remember watching a video of Chopper being
interviewed by some female whilst he was in prison. It was so good. Honestly,
I could've listened to him all day long. A very easy-talking and amusing guy.
Also, this evening I watched "Enquirer" of You! (RUclips). Clearly, you've
got a lot of history! It was very interesting! Seems your modesty and sense
of fair play have been attributes of yours throughout life!
I use to work at Borders book shop in Brisbane and always made sure I was working the shifts when Uncle Chop Chop was coming in to do his book signings. He was always super friendly and just a good bloke happy to chat and take photos
It's nice to hear that about him. Thank you 🥊👍
Another quality video Matt 👍
Thank you very much 🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 your welcome mate, I’ve been a fan since way back before you were a you tube star, when you were knocking people out for a living 🥊
I believe his last confessions. 4 murders. He had nothing left to embellish, the first was when he was a 19, the second the pedo, the third the Turk, then the coke head biker Syd. He’s had way to many hits on his life, robbed far to many, caused way to many riffles, and how he handled the killing of the Turk. You can tell that death wasn’t something alien to him. Like a war Veteran. It was his way of making peace, that 60 mins interview. One last F U to his enemies. Rip Chopper.
I do tend to agree with you there.
He shot Sam straight through the eye . So it wasn't anything to him really.
Thank you for the message 👊🥊
- He had nothing left to embellish-
Nah. He got paid for that interview. Plus, he changed his story and his amount of people killed and ... so often throughout his life. The only things you can believe from any of Chopper's stories is the stuff that is independently verified (the shooting of Siam Ozerkam, attempting to take a judge hostage, ...)
Another good story Matt , always interesting mate 👍🏻👊🏻🥊
Chopper kicked around some of the suburbs in the area I grew up in. At least that's what his police record says.
Have you done a video on Squizzy Taylor? My grandmother, who was born in Richmond, recalled Squizzy frequenting the store she worked in as a teen. He would come in to buy cigarettes, and she said he dressed so nicely and was a complete gentleman. I laugh about that now, I think she had a crush on him, mesmerised by his charm. Grandma passed away some years ago, just shy of 100. I love oral history, it's so invaluable.
Just the other day, a local in the country town I live in now was telling me about the ultimate shootout between Squizzy Taylor and Snowy Cutmore. He's in his 80s. I think many old Melburnians naturally know this legendary tale, my own father who grew up in Kew told me the same version. And you had to be careful who you might run into on the bluestone back alleys of Melbourne, or it would seem that way.
Another great video .
Thank you 🥊👊
Another great video
Another good listen Matt😁👍🏴

Another fascinating tale of a guy you did not want to get on the wrong side of.

Thank you 👍🥊
@@mattlegg1976 Your welcome Matt
Good stuff, thanks brother
Well done Matt, I really enjoyed watching your vid.
Another great share mat
Thank you 👊
I was told by ex cop that chopper did do every crime he claimed off doing and was accused with. The police knew it also. During the 80s and early 90s drug dealers and gang leaders was high in Australia and was to get out of control. The cops couldn't get half the criminals and allowed chopper to get away with majority of his crimes as he was cleaning up what they couldn't get. That's what I was told
Ah ok that's interesting.
Thank you 🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 He was virtually a Mafia assassin for the police
That’s exactly what Chopper said. That he’s a garbage man. He gets rid of trash
Stop fucking lying. The most famous thing he did was cut his ears off. Cause he was scared and getting picked on in the jail. He literally went into protection.
Great video Mate and over 38,000 subscribers!!! Wow got to be well happy with that. well done to you...😊 🥊🥊👍😊👍
Thank you very much 🥊👊
Excellent Matt
The Russian Roulette scene was Chopper shooting behind his head and then to the side of the 60 mins reporter's head. Got a lot of gasps from midwits. Chopper's greatest moment was calling out popular conservative radio personality Alan Jones for his frequenting Public Toilets for gay sex live on air. An activity he had been arrested for. Chopper also refused accepting an organ donation, he claimed, which he thought would go to better use in someone else. If true, that's impressive humility.
Interesting about the roulette .
I did think the same about his refusal to accept a transplant.
Thank you 🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 im a kiwi . oldie( lived the life and done plenty of yrs) and know alot of the oldtimers here and over the ditch (sydney) .. and you are correct .. he (chop) did have the oldschool code (to a certain extent ) but a hypocrite about drugs in the end .. and he did say no to transplant (he was on methadone for yrs then , and was shooting speed at times thru out his life ) .. part why liver fkd out ... but his code was good when came to things like that . he'd rather some one more deserving get a liver before him , which was pretty stand uppish , moral.. and he only played the game with those IN THE GAME .. citizens were citizens ..
The knowledge on each video is insane 👏👏👏. 2 guys I knew absolutely nothing about and now want to know more 👌👊
Watch the film Chopper.
@@DavidUKesb cheers pal will do
Hey Matt, this just popped up on my computer screen. I'm used to your "hard man" boxing videos and didn't know you branched out to the land down under. Good luck with your videos, I really enjoy them!
Ah nice one, thank you.
Yes Ive got some more Australian stuff lined up aswell. 🥊👍
Thanks Matt, growing up in Melbourne, chopper was always a character and a real hero and icon to heaps of us. A real outlaw
Love the movie Chopper. What a character he was!
Your channel is blowing up i think Matt. Your videos started popping up all iver the place after i watched one.
Keep it going mate!

Luv your work cheers
Thank you very much 🥊👊
Hey nothing better good keep your attention video cheers again Matt
It's good to see a video that doesn't include the title "hardest man in Britain." There can only be one of them at a time. I think Chopper Read definitely like the notoriety and I'm guessing he would have taken credit for 9/11 if the TV cameras was on. Good video.
I doubt he would’ve taken credit for 9/11 . He wasn’t a terrorist or a serial killer . He only bumped off drug dealers & little big shots in his own criminal circle . The ones he killed weren’t angels , they were criminals , remember that .
Well researched mate and we’ll put together
Thank you very much 🥊
@@mattlegg1976my old man was friends with Chopper by the way, I can tell you a few stories if you’d like to hear them, my old man was one of the toughest bastards of Fitzroy in a Melbourne, I only met chopper once as a kid of about 9 or 10 when my dad had him over for dinner, he patted me on the head and said how are ya son, gave me a 50 cent piece which meant the world to me, if you’d like to know a few stories let me know, but keep me out of it please, cheers mate, love the channel
Fun fact for the pommy viewers: chopper idolised the Kray twins asva teenager and had two pet snakes called (you guessed it) Reggie and Ronnie. It's in his first book (first time I heard of them).
Really 🤣🤣 I genuinely didn't know that, and coincidentally , I had actually had two snakes called Reggie and Ronnie 🤣
A ball python and a corn snake, lol
👊🥊
The Krays had two snakes, Read and Butler, named after coppers.
Legend mate cheered me up
Nice one Matt. Whilst in Australia twenty plus years ago visiting family I read a few of Chopper's books. Though there was obviously some truth in some of his books, I think he was a fantasist, though I wouldn't have said that to his face. 🙂
Never let the truth get in the road of a good story.
Thank you Matt
Thank you 🥊
One of my favourite films ever 'chopper ' played by Eric Bana , great video again Matt, I'm sure you will be presenting your own true crime TV show very soon 👌💯good stuff Matt ,top channel mate 👍👊🥊🙏
Fellow Australian here. Fantastic Video Matt
Brilliant, thank you for watching, i really appreciate it 🥊👊
@mattlegg1976 Love your Channel, and was, still am a Fan of your Boxing Career to. Thank you Legend 😊
That 60 minutes interview was good hope ur well matt
Thanks Matt good vid
Brilliant content again Matt...
Great to see the channels growing, you do good work mate..
As for Chop.. quite a few thought he was a protected species..l don't know mself, but heard from blokes a lot quieter than Mark...🥊
Thank you very much. Yeah I'm hearing that about Chopper.
It was addressed in the film wasn't it
👊🥊
@@mattlegg1976 It was to a degree Matt, him meeting with coppers (all innocently) but he didn't stay out of Pentridge for no reason, or leave Victoria for a holiday to Tasmania...all 3rd hand info mind you..
Chopper mentioned a few Union dealings in his books that rubbed some higher up the food chain.
A few yrs later there was a Royal Commission into police corruption where a few facts could only have come from certain people.
If l remember rightly Chop was one the first to have earnings from his books stopped by law?
Profiting from crime or proceeds of crime act..so he definitely ruffled some feathers.👍
Chopper always said " why would I have shot him then driven him to hospital, it kinda defeats the purpose of having shot him in the first place." But if you knew Chopper and read his books you y would realise that that is absolutely something Chopper would have done. He would've found that hilarious.
I thought the same thing. He definitely would, lol 🥊
His car blew a welsh plug and overheated. Called in to the servo down the street from the hospital to get it repaired as it was boiling.
Thank you Matt for this video. I am from Australia and have known of chopper for many years. He tells a good yarn alright. But a blood and guts man without a doubt just have a look at his many scars. Gets his ears removed to get out of H Division as his life was in imminent danger total insanity but it kept him alive. Made more money writing about crime than committing it and also became an artist and sold a few paintings and If I am not mistaken he also wrote some childrens books. A very talented man young chopper. His mum was a bible basher and his dad well you see him in the movie he aint the full quid a few slices short of a loaf you might say. Grew up around Melbourne somewhere tough areas really tough people so I guess he just became a product of his environment. But obviously emotionally affected by his upbringing. Loved violence apparently. I dont know if Scotland Yard would of allowed him into the country with his record ;-) . Once again thanks Matt. Please stay safe. Regards from Australia.
Great message, thank you for that.
Yeah he was certainly a character. Definitely thrived on the violence.
I was wondering about him getting in to the Country.
Sadly we'll never know
I would have loved to have met him 🥊👊
Came across the film by accident a few years ago. Top film with my sense of humour. When his dad says after years of not seeing him, how are you big ears , had me 😂,
Subscribed Matt 👍🏻
I'm so glad you gave chopper a shout out I think chop chop was fascinating and he was one of the funniest men to ever live happy days great channel well done one love from Scotland stay safe everyone 🏴
Doing a great job there mate. 👍🇦🇺 From Darwin Northern Territory Australia.
Thank you very much. Great to hear from all my Australian Viewers 🥊👊
I met Chopper in around 2008/2009 in Perth WA at one of his stand up shows. I got a pic with him and now can't find it!
What was he like? Thank you 👊🥊
@@mattlegg1976 I don't remember too much about what he actually was talking about. I remember one story where when he arrived at a prison (Pentridge I think) either he or someone else stabbed someone in the bottom and he kept going on about how the injured person tore their a nal webbing. He'd never heard of a nal webbing and thought it was hilarious that there even was something called a nal webbing. And was mocking the fact he or the person who did the stabbing had tore an a nal webbing. I thought it was funny and he was quite sadistic in these moments. Everyone was in stitches. TBH I recall his talk being very orchestrated and he'd obviously done it so often it became natural as he was a great story teller anyway. After the event my wife and I went up for pics. I recall him being very out of it. Either under the influence of drugs or pain meds, he reminded me of Ronnie Coleman when I met him several times and he was taking strong painkillers and was pretty much out of it and comatosed. He was wearing a big navy trench coat that had a ton of white stains on the front like he'd been slavering. Gutted I can't find the pics but my wife has a pic with him still and you can see the state he is in. His bouncer Mark 'Hammer' Dixon was really pleasant and kept going on about the shape I was in. Back then I was 27ish, 100% drug free and around 88kg.. nothing special. I thought it was odd for his security to be impressed with a small natty.
@@mattlegg1976 I just emailed a pic from the night of Chopper. Just so you get an idea of his condition from the event. It was June 2009 so probably very ill by then and possibly on pain meds. cheers!
Some of the stuff in the books is fkn hilarious! Top work Matt!
If anyone else can't resist.. i'll start one off..
"Glad to see your bald patch has gone Keithy!" 😂
"... your mum's upset..."
Cheers big ears!!
Chops dad!
😂 Wey Hey!
...nice shirt son... they make em for men?
"Silly boys, that's all Chopper had to say, and poor little Sammy got blown away!" 😂
Chopper was as funny as they come!
