First heard about Bindon in your face here. A mad character. Never knew how violent that incident/murder case was, wow. Bizarre and sickening. Great video, 👍
Your putting somw gems up lately bro ! Its mad to think both these two ended up dying i horrible ways and thiswas the actual event that ruined bidons acting career. Nobody would touch him after the court case and his life went down the pan. Not sure if it was aids or hiv or cancer but he was riddled with whatever he had.
It’s worth noting that Bindon’s eventual demise was likely in no small part due to the injuries he suffered in the brutal encounter with Darke and his crew. A brutal fight such as this, bringing a man close to death, takes a terrible toll on the mind and body from which they can never truly recover. We see instances of head trauma causing people to develop cancers and aneurysms later in life - I’ve no doubt Darke did enough work on Bindon that night to send him to an early grave regardless.
After reading the book about bindon that goes deep into detail about the yacht club fight I'm convinced that was one of the most brutal street fights england ever had where there weren't a bunch of casualties, I've seen the official medical photos of bindons knife wounds and he was stabbed and sliced about 10!times including his face
Lads, he survived, there's much worse that's happened in rows, plus he died of AIDS, not fight related. Now if your talking about what it done to his TV career, then yes it finished him
A drunken Monday pub crawl that didn't end nicely for anyone involved. It's not too often when real tough nuts come together but when it happens it can be brutal
Bindon’s girlfriend confirmed that was just a rumour and he never actually got it on with Margaret, although she was impressed with how many pint glasses he could fit on it.
Hi, I am Kellie Darke, oldest daughter.. I respect your video.. there are elements that are slightly incorrect .. there is also information I could add.. we are not public people and have no want to be.. but welcome your fair podcast.. let me know if you would like more information.
Bindon would drink in The Ferret and Firkin, Lots Rd, Chelsea in the 80's. The landlord was called Sid who left after some financial discrepancy. There were some shady characters then, Bindon wasn't a pleasant individual. He had a brother I believe, Mickey ? Bindon claimed to have photos of his victim he referred to as his trophies. He (allegedly) pulled a barmaids skirt down once as she was dancing on a table. I used to work there, whether this was hearsay or not, that was what was said.
Had the severe misfortune to see Biffo, one night, collecting an envelope at The Golden Lion down Chelsea.Fulham way. I left at the same time as him and saw him, without any provocation, bump into this 15-year-old kid, knocking him across the street. Lovey Guy:(
@@paulbirkbeck1790 Lucky, for him Paul,, that he did not bump into this 17-year-old,11 stone, Grammar School Boy, as I would have been livid, as I hurled abuse at him, while my m8 drove at 80mph in the other direction. That would have taughtht him..... Thinking about it,it would have been even luckier for me,as I would not be here to tell the tale. lol

I'm not understanding why this stuff is glorified. I'm a bit ashamed of my past and like to keep it in the past. I don't think there's anything good about being a "hard man"
I'm not glorifying anything if u watch my videos I make it quite clear how being involved in crime ends badly. I was to involved for many years b4 going legit. This is a true crime channel and historic archive of events if that upsets you or something your not interested in what watch?
@@enquirer2.0 Curiosity makes me watch, and a bit of bemusement at the fascination people have with this. I probably would have had the same fascination a few years back. Then I changed to preferring yoga and meditation. At that point I went to myself, why the fuck did I fixate on this for so long? Just be aware that a lot of people watching are glorifying it. Good luck with your channel mate.
Well I think you're wrong . When you're a child and your father is a warrior a hard man its comforting to know you will be protected by the hardest men alive. Look at our World now ?

'' Bindon went on to wither away in rather obscurity, shunned by friends''. Bindon contracted HIV which developed into full blown AIDS.he died after a horroble illness. Most of your 'documntaries' are relaying second hand information from snippets you find and add photogrpahs or just talk from one side of a story.That's why only the slow will consider them 'great' or 'banging'.You need to show both sides and come down on one.Plus, you, like many other story tellers on youtube, discuss long-dead people who can't speak now.
Unless I'm mistaken, in the late 70's Bindon and his brother ran Led Zeppelin's security team. Them + the tough alcoholic drummer Bonzo + their big, non-nonsense, ex-wrestler manager Peter Grant + their drink and drug addled tour manager Richard Cole was a volatile group.....to say the least! Apparently, during one show, something kicked off back stage and they smashed someone to pieces badly enough for them all to be arrested and charged while the poor fella was rushed to hospital!
The argument was between well known concert promoter Bill Graham and the LZ mob of which Bindon was part of security.Apparently there was some incident where Peter Grants son Warren (only a young lad at the time)was manhandled by one of Grahams stage crew.Grant high on cocaine (as were most likely the others)saw red and man mountain Grant,Cole,Bonzo and Bindon nearly killed him.

Excellent story. With more video's of such high calibre like this, I'm sure your channel will go from strength to strength.

Wow that's great.
Little Legs Clifford, I thought. Gifford?
It was Clifford - he had a furniture shop off the Walworth Road
That's why bindon done one to Ireland not because the police was after him it's because darks firm was after him
I grew up in this mans house in Elmers End.
That's on the Hayes line i believe, near Croydon.
