Love how the word grass comes up in these type of videos. The more I see, the more I have come to understand, half the information supplied to the Police was by the gang leaders themselves.
If an individual wants instant wealth, without having to work hard at school, apprenticeship etc.. and they turn to crime to achieve that, they can't excuse that criminality by blaming it on oppression. There is no doubt racism exists, but people like Stephen French would have probably been a criminal whatever background they came from. Many Irish suffered the same oppression in the 18th Century and went over to New York to become Cops and find other honest work. Many descendants from the African Slaves went on to achieve huge success in various fields. Many also blame criminality on poverty, but there are as many criminals in the world of finance as there are on the streets of Toxteth or Salford.
i think when people watch these things they do so ready to pick apart anything and everything, because they are on the side of good and these documentaries are on the side of bad. but in the case you are talking about i think there is a thin line between explaining why you do what you do, and blaming it on that. when you dislike someone you tend to say that the explanations they have are excuses, when in fact it was simply a story to explain who he is and where he came from. you cannot finish every sentence with 'not that it would justify it' becaue the whole video would be full of it. it is a given that having got this far and being this open about his life and all its contents.. you can assume he is way past the point of making excuses or trying to get you to like him or anything like that
he is considered something of a joke in Liverpool, bullied people who were vulnerable kids, couldn't bully anyone who would stand up to him which is most people these days and even back in the day, bit off a tall tail type of fella and likes telling the police about his chums. "Legend" hmmmm ok if you say so, good luck with the channel, you will need it.
Lots of big big Internet know-it-alls here. Hazard a guess if the French fella was walking down the street? You'd fly across the pavement head down looking for cover. Don't forget you hard men... Stephen French rolls one-up not in a gang of say 6-10. Mark of a man. Keep smiling. 🤏
I've seen this guy on a tv documentary years ago. It could have been Donal MacIntyre. Anyway he really has a ticket on himself and speaks in a way which makes me question if he is full of it tbh!!!

The conservatives never said "if you want a n@gger for a neighbour, vote Labour" especially not in the 70's. And "no blacks, no Irish and no dogs" was a sign common in bed and breakfasts/lodging houses in London in the 50's, nothing to do with politics, it was about the landlords having to think of their other lodgers, who might not want to live in a house shared with Irish and blacks (who had a negative reputation) and the no dog part is obvious. So he's got a lot of his historical details totally wrong.
The "no blacks, no Irish and no dogs" myth is unproven apart from one bed'n'breakfast it was just propaganda to cause tension and to try get the Irish to protect the black working class.

The word "Legendary" is in the eye of the beholder, whoever that person or persons respect and follow the particular person/persons and their activities. We all have our own LEGENDS! We should respect each others choices.
No. otherwise you come to the conclusion that maybe the nazi's were alright and to be respected. People who hurt others for their own gain never are or never will be legends. I agree with you however about respecting each other, however criminals don't, and that is why they are not legends.

There was a lot of racism back in the day. The argument that slavery affected people in the last few decades though is not very persuasive, it makes a good excuse if you've been at it, nicking off of other villains. Did they just take the money ? or did the drugs get sold on, if so it kind of negates the argument that this was a public service.
I've never heard of him passing the money onto charity or into the communities. In fact, I'm sure I've seen interviews of his before where he says he must have taken millions (bluster or BS, who knows). And I'm under the impression that he was very financially comfortable. So I very much doubt he would be flushing class As down the toilet. Maybe he did, I don't know.

It’s funny how people are so negative on here by using the word legendary in your description but the word is absolutely appropriate here. It must be the younger generation not understanding all of the definitions. Yes the word is used for someone or something fabulous but it’s more common origin would be best described for something mythical, fake or an exaggeration of facts. When you go out fishing and the fish you actually caught weighed 10lbs but over the years with people exaggerating the facts then your fish turns out to be 100 pounds, thats legendary.
Not the first time Iv watched this and it's probably the most hard hitting and honest video on RUclips. Iv just realised a distant cousin of mine was shot dead in his kitchen. (I didnt know him but the surname and area of Liverpool matches where this large family live). Small horrible world.
Too many grassers and informants in Liverpool underworld, probably most towns and cities in UK, people who think their criminals and want to make money but can't do the time only the crime.
I often wondered what happened to Dhalsim off street fighter 2 fame however I did not expect to turn up as a drugged up gangster grass now known as Stephen French.
Stephen french known police informants, if you know you know, he never had the b*lls to do anything himself, remember people if you can't do the time don't do the crime.
You are funny son. Where is the Police statements from any court case that you claim French informed on? Guess you are one of these little jack Russell that the French fella would squash with one arm behind his back......👍
2:31French literally sounds like he's watched too much BBC news. 🤔 TBH with that suit he could 100% pass as the guy that reads the 6 o'clock BBC news.😂 It was literally straight out of their Warped Fantasyland news history's 😂. What a spud..😂
What is he on about we lande here 400 years ago & has taken us 400 yrs to get from the docks totop of parliament street - if you look at the 1950's census (immediately after millions of white English men had been killed in the wars) it showed that UK was 99.4% white English - the fraction of 0.5% was made up of Greeks, Italians, Indians etc - there were NO black ppl in the UK up until the boat Empire windrush showed up which about quadrupled the UK's black population with 1 boat full. I think he is confused with the trans atlamntic slave trade in the US.
French literally sounds like he's watched too much BBC news. TBH with that suit he could 100% pass as the guy that reads the 6 o'clock news.😂 It was literally straight out of their warped and fantasy histories 😂. What a spud..😂
What he said in the beginning about Penny Lane is totally Wrong. The street sign was defaced when the BLM supporters first made themselves known as they assumed, along with other people that it was a tribute to the slave trader James Penny. This is completely untrue and just suits certain peoples agenda. The name actually derives from when The Road was a Toll Road, way back in the day and if you had a Horse and Cart, it would cost you One Penny to travel over it. This was I believe confirmed by the International Museum of Slavery in Liverpool and according to Wiki, the original assumption, was just that, an assumption.
@42:21 If I had to choose between, given for FREE, the flat or the car I would take the car and get the fuck out of there. Even though I could rent the house out and create a monthly income.

If an individual wants instant wealth, without having to work hard at school, apprenticeship etc.. and they turn to crime to achieve that, they can't excuse that criminality by blaming it on oppression. There is no doubt racism exists, but people like Stephen French would have probably been a criminal whatever background they came from. Many Irish suffered the same oppression in the 18th Century and went over to New York to become Cops and find other honest work. Many descendants from the African Slaves went on to achieve huge success in various fields. Many also blame criminality on poverty, but there are as many criminals in the world of finance as there are on the streets of Toxteth or Salford.

So I very much doubt he would be flushing class As down the toilet. Maybe he did, I don't know.
Racism still goes on today.
That woman's (lipstick?) looks like someone had bashed her back doors in and she finished by mouth 😂😂😂
Nikki Regan the first person to my Knowledge, who has publicly admitted being a part of the cancer (DRUG DEALING) that has destroyed countless Council estates in the City I LOVE and was born and bred in ........................................................LIVERPOOL !!
Well done Nikki 👍👍👍👍
Just need the countless others to stand up and be counted for the damage they have all done for decades in our City?
*l Really love watching this type of documentary very well done*
The police are allowing this shit to happen and continue, it has to be asked why’s is that. 🇬🇧
Cause they are gangsters too ...but in nicer package
Knew the krays? Wouldn’t you be 7-10 when they were jailed? Lol
Well presented
Bernard very interesting. I was raised in Liverpool. It is a varied city and one with a bad dark side and yet much good too. God bless you.
It's a shit hole and the scousers love playing thr victims.
It's good to see this 😊
It’s funny how people are so negative on here by using the word legendary in your description but the word is absolutely appropriate here. It must be the younger generation not understanding all of the definitions. Yes the word is used for someone or something fabulous but it’s more common origin would be best described for something mythical, fake or an exaggeration of facts. When you go out fishing and the fish you actually caught weighed 10lbs but over the years with people exaggerating the facts then your fish turns out to be 100 pounds, thats legendary.
My heritage is nitty gritty. Yeah Steve, whatever.
Not the first time Iv watched this and it's probably the most hard hitting and honest video on RUclips. Iv just realised a distant cousin of mine was shot dead in his kitchen. (I didnt know him but the surname and area of Liverpool matches where this large family live). Small horrible world.
Too many grassers and informants in Liverpool underworld, probably most towns and cities in UK, people who think their criminals and want to make money but can't do the time only the crime.
im sure this documentary is from around 2000 ooriginally
good documentary 👍
A very well put together piece this I enjoyed it thanks
Listen,we all know theirs only one geezer who ran things in Liverpool…Joey Boswell
He was working on behalf of Ronnie Pickering and you know it.
Gotta get up,
Gotta get out...grab the world by the throat n shout.

I often wondered what happened to Dhalsim off street fighter 2 fame however I did not expect to turn up as a drugged up gangster grass now known as Stephen French.
Yoga FLAME 🔥
😂😂😂
Lol
Stephen french known police informants, if you know you know, he never had the b*lls to do anything himself, remember people if you can't do the time don't do the crime.
You are funny son. Where is the Police statements from any court case that you claim French informed on? Guess you are one of these little jack Russell that the French fella would squash with one arm behind his back......👍
2:31French literally sounds like he's watched too much BBC news. 🤔
TBH with that suit he could 100% pass as the guy that reads the 6 o'clock BBC news.😂
It was literally straight out of their Warped Fantasyland news history's 😂.
What a spud..😂
RIP Grimes. Big Paul could have a fight in his day. We called him the sea lion
Everyone gets old blood
I love sealions. What a wonderful nickname. Sealions are the doggos of the sea.
He looked liked one
if there ever was a reason not to get involved with drugs kids this is it only ends up one way
He battered Chuck Norris, Van Damme & Bruce Lee at the same time
Then had supper with Ronny Pickering 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
2:31 I Literally thought i was watching the BBC 6 o'clock news at first 😂 being told how vile we all are..!
What is he on about we lande here 400 years ago & has taken us 400 yrs to get from the docks totop of parliament street - if you look at the 1950's census (immediately after millions of white English men had been killed in the wars) it showed that UK was 99.4% white English - the fraction of 0.5% was made up of Greeks, Italians, Indians etc - there were NO black ppl in the UK up until the boat Empire windrush showed up which about quadrupled the UK's black population with 1 boat full. I think he is confused with the trans atlamntic slave trade in the US.
Well the bbc says different..😂
Tsk.. The bbc wouldn't lie 😂
French literally sounds like he's watched too much BBC news.
TBH with that suit he could 100% pass as the guy that reads the 6 o'clock news.😂
It was literally straight out of their warped and fantasy histories 😂.
What a spud..😂
Stephen french living in the 70s . University educated with success businesses but wants to talk about 400 years ago and not progress
Hes a dick and a supposed grass. I actually think he is a grass. Wish he would progress under water
He didn’t step foot out the south end of Liverpool 😅
A Friend of the Kray twins,he had a photograph on a visit
Nitty gritty first known use was in 1934. 100 years after the slave trade ended
Frenchie never finished from the bottom. Mad guy.
What he said in the beginning about Penny Lane is totally Wrong. The street sign was defaced when the BLM supporters first made themselves known as they assumed, along with other people that it was a tribute to the slave trader James Penny. This is completely untrue and just suits certain peoples agenda. The name actually derives from when The Road was a Toll Road, way back in the day and if you had a Horse and Cart, it would cost you One Penny to travel over it. This was I believe confirmed by the International Museum of Slavery in Liverpool and according to Wiki, the original assumption, was just that, an assumption.
Frenchy is scared of only one man. The monster that is purple aki
Let me feel your muscles, Frenchy.
Don’t be mad haha
Met him in person, very interesting guy. Showed me mad respect and shared a tonne of knowledge and wisdom. We was talking for 3hrs straight.
Bernard?
I can well believe ha was talking for 3hrs straight but knowledge and wisdom??? Come on lad 😂 yeah yeah right yeah
Stephen french is known in London as a bully some nonce,tell him I said so.
Your showing your intelligence now.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Did you swallow or spit it out?
@42:21 If I had to choose between, given for FREE, the flat or the car I would take the car and get the fuck out of there. Even though I could rent the house out and create a monthly income. That Merc parked in that setting. You just know there are problems. The car is worth more than the apartments.
Rattling the cage man rattling the cage 😂❤
Why do people hurt animals. Mad me sick hearing that the dog was dowsed in petrol and set on fire, gut wrenching!
i know boxers who refer to frenchy as a clown. he has been knicked for carrying guns ( brave ), i know of no mark small time pot dealers who have been robbed by him ( thats brave ).
Lucky for him he never ran into the worlds strongest man and Britain’s hardest man Big Bri Cockerill
Or Ronnie Pickering. They'd know all about it then!
Three coffees; six sausage rolls; three portions of chips; a glass of water; two whey protein smoothies; two bags of crisps.....

Its only one Tef' Don, but I know what you mean 😊 always welcome in Slovenia if U visit Ljubljana 🎉
I know let's glorify being a gangster and give them medals for committing crimes and what ever else they do and then the kids will follow suit just brilliant
That doorman in brown leather is a force of nature
Interview Noel Quarless he knows the score knew all the top hard men back in the day before French
That French isn't a criminal he's a tax artist and thieves ponce
Don’t rattle the cage
Gary Sandland could have a go in his day. We called him the octopus 🐙
Frenchys ancestors crossed the Atlantic to get to liverpool... they took the long way from africa laa
😂
His old "I'm a product of my environment" mantra, has been replaced by "I'm a product of the slave trade and the Irish potato famine". Fu****g hell, what next?
The 730, it's a workhorse.
It is a curious comfort to witness villains turn upon one another. 😎
I do like watching Darren Gee's Podcasts L 5 Alive anti-knife activist choose a life not a knife !

I'm loving Kevin Mooney trying to act hard, my cousin well known drug dealer in the old swan, said that Mooney is as camp as fuck and only got a bit of a reputation through hanging out with hard men in Liverpool, on his own he plays up to the camera's as he's is hard as a bowl of unset jelly.
Go way. Legend!
The lass at the end kept it real and held her hand up.Why are those mickey mousers so wild and deadly?
Micheal crozier. I know a man of that name from gateshead
It's Liverpool, everyone is notorious
Imagine making a crime doc and recording it in low volume. Absolute Shame.
Rattling the cage man.!!!. Rattling the cage man.!!!.
The best criminals keep a low profile,We never hear there name , The police never arrest them or have anything on them , The ones who have a big mouth and spend most of there life in prison , hospital or early grave are like hedgehogs boasting that cars don't frighten them ..
This is either very well edited or its not recent bc steven french is a stuttering mess last i saw of him
Yeah he's done now . Years old this one
They set his dog on fire thats unthinkable disgusting disgraceful 🐕🦺🕊🧍🏾✝️ all dogs go to heaven i remember Hearing That🐶❤👍🏻
Oh my goodness that’s unforgivable.
That kickboxing bouncer is talking more crap than b.o.m and Attwood
A bully and a glorified mugger. He;s no premier league criminal and no legend.
I've lived this life.
It's not worth it. Trust me.
Once you get in it's difficult to get out.
I had it all..
The money..
The cars..
The women..
The mansions..
The jewellery..
And all of it just vanished so quickly that you wouldn't believe.
I urge you to Stay away from it..
it's too late for me, but it's not too late for YOU.
Plot twist the coco fighting at the ranch was in fact Brian and his dad 😮
Virtually and literally 🎉
HE'S A GRASS AND WENT ON THE NUMBERS IN HMP PRESTON
Frenchy tryna justify why he was a drug dealer and a bully and mentions something that happend all over the country 😂😂😂
Across the Atlantic to the UK 400 years ago. Where from? Why? England has not allowed slavery here since Roman times.
Desperate people do desperate things.
“Case fell apart” 😅😅😂 you mean ya dad called his handler , can’t do the time don’t do the crime, absolute wrongen
Spot on Mr French
The kip of Nikki Reagan , looks like she was interviewed just before she was going to a Halloween party 👹👺👻🥳
All the more buildings you got in Liverpool , Tartarian buildings, we didn’t build them know slave, built them🎉💯😎
Where's purple?
