stewie 3,387 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Bartley Gorman - King of the Gypsies. Can honestly say its the best book I've ever read, and I've read it about 15 times this is mickmck being interviewed about bartley....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMcaEniDdj8 Bartley was friends with Dan, and beat his brother John who was considered to be at least as good as Dan. The first man to challenge every gypsy on national TV... I wouldn't want to have a go :thumbs: i was in uttoxeter today mate, weighed in at the scrap yard next to his old house.... everyone in that town has so much respect for him, not a dickhead like so many of the "tough guys" who write books.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticJock 539 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Wish I could've met the man His book is different to all the "I'm hard as fcuk but only after I've trained for 6 months and pumped myself with steroids and pulled a gun out", a real breath of fresh air. I honestly believe he was the hardest man this island has seen for nearly a century... And I don't like using the word 'Hard' as I always think there's someone better than you. A true legend and one who did what he achieved and left a legacy. Here he is telling every gypsy to listen to him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
