BOLIO1 1,078 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 There should be a film made of this mans exploits. As a founder member of the SAS who plagued the nazis in the desert he deserves his place in history beyond his birthplace in Newtownards. Liam Neeson for the lead? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kay 3,709 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I love this passage from his diarys "David Stirling, who founded the SAS, wanted certain people and one of themwas Paddy Mayne but Paddy was in the clink for beating up his commandingofficer. "Stirling had to go into prison to confront Mayne and say 'I want you out butdo not hit this commanding officer' and Mayne agreed.'' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-15036691 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frann 882 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Guy was a real legend, not like most of the folk today that get called 'legend'. Must look out for Rogue Warrior. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BOLIO1 1,078 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 "Colonel Paddy, rogue warrier of the S.A.S." is the full title I think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just looked it up now here it is on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1780575823/ref=asc_df_178057582312438144?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=hydra0b-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=1780575823&hvpos=1o1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=172865493734729382&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt= 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Liam Neeson? Got to be, hasn't it?! What is it Paddy said? " When you simply Must kill everyone in the room? Shoot the first person to say a word. They've realised there's actually a man with a gun standing there. Then, shoot the nearest man to you. He's next likely to cause you any embarrassment. " I mean, FFS! Man's a f**king legend, just for coming out with that! And, what about that time, in France, I think it was? Turned a corner in his Landy. Whole road, as far as the eye can see, is lined with a huge convoy of German trucks, bristling with Germans! Paddy sees this as an opportunity not to be missed! Guns the engine and goes screaming down the road, machine gunning the f**k out of the entire convoy! They don't want to start handing him VC's because they'd run out of f**king cannon!
