I grew up in a Irish born family, in 1994 fled to the Sydney suburbs of croydon park and burwood at 2 years old. Moved to chermside west in Brisbane for years too. Tough times, poverty, homelessness ect. and far from home. But Aussies without a doubt took us is and helped my family through 7 years. It has made me who i am today, a proud Irish man with aussie in his heart. In ireland 20 years now and i would love for Spanian to come here for a adventure of our streets❤ i love your character and drive to show true culture and the people in this crazy world. Much love lad 🇦🇺🇮🇪
Thank you for your honesty bringing in light of our housing crisis. I’m a single dad. Never had any government grants cos apparently I was earning too much. I struggled putting my kids through childcare, but cos I was working full time, I couldn’t get any help. But we made it through somehow. This video made me teared up, cos I know there are others who are really doing it tough. Awesome content brother. You’re loved bro. God bless ❤
My family is 6th generation, from the rocks. You are an inspiration to not only Sydney but the Australian people, keep showing the true colors mate god bless you.
hé is alsow getting older, in the end everbody wants to do something good with their lifes. And hé find the good direction. He can be proud on himself. Its never easy to make something off your life when you are 1/3 of your life in prison
My 11-year-old son introduced me to Spanian a few months back and now I watch these videos more than he does! I'm over here watching a grown man shop at an airport and eat food like blud! Enamoured by your ability to speak into a camera and capture ones attention for the full length of the video while doing 'mundane' things. As well as the educational and insightful videos. Living vicariously through you while getting a glimpse into 'the other side'.
watching you rise from the rubble gives me such joy,, doesn't matter where we come from we can grow, evolve and be better people. would love for you to go over the stories from ur book in the actual locations. ur book is worth $250 now, how crazy!!
@@steelearmstrong9616 don't know how this comment is related to mine in any way. i mean your random statement is true, but any person, no matter their personal circumstance can strive to be a better version of themselves if they work hard, and span is a true testament to that no....
chance and luck 😂 spanian is blessed god is the only answer to a great life, famous or not rich or poor god sees our heart and our intentions and will bless you abundantly in ways you couldnt imagine or put in a sentence next to chance and luck.👍
Got your book a year or two ago, and it’s one of those books you literally cannot put down! From front cover to back I was in awe of your articulation, your stories and your ability to overcome your demons. It’s a must read for anyone. I had a laugh, I had a cry and most importantly I resonated completely with it- growing up in Sydney myself. Such a raw, honest and compelling biography. Be proud of how far you have come man, and keep striving to the best version of yourself. Whatever you’re doing, it’s working! EDIT: Someone in the comments said your book is worth $250 now?! and I CLEARLY remember you told everyone when it was published to get it, whether they bought it or jacked it…you didn’t care as long as we read it😂
How nostalgic bro going back to all the areas you grew up in. My grandparents live in the areas i used to run around in, i love going to my grandparents house and driving though the streets remanising about the "good old day" if you could call them good 😂 i wouldn't change it for the world tho made me who i am today. Much love span ❤️
That's my old neighbourhood! Used to live there in the early 00's in a unit block on Bulwara Rd opposite the Fishmarket; seeing those backstreets again brings back memories alright. Funny story about those very low concrete overpasses you were walking under (where you pointed-out the running car with the blacked-out windows). Over my time there I saw literally dozens of trucks, vans and taller SUV's wedged-in & stuck tight under those very same overpasses; drivers just seemed to ignore the low-clearance warning signs (and all the paint scrapes and huge gouges & scratches evident on the underside of the concrete formwork) and just powered-on through regardless, not realising that the head-clearance gradually got lower & lower with the shallow angle of the off-ramps until it was too late...
I'm about to live on my own for the first time in my adult life, your stories inspire me to make sure I keep in touch with my family, especially my mum even tho it's a shitty situation. Thank you for being vulnerable, lad. You're making a difference by being real. Let's ogg
Good on ya man. After 50 odd years of too many crazy things to mention, I’m now again on my own and all I can say is enjoy the time to reflect on what’s important to you. Spanian is no doubt an awesome inspiration 👍
***Hi Spanian*** You know you’re getting older when you can reminisce of by gone days. It’s interesting to see your point of view on areas of Sydney that I’ve worked around or visited in the past. It was very enjoyable to be along for the ride and hear your insights. Cheers.
I lived one street over in Jones Street Ultimo in the 80s, basically just old warehouses and squatters. Even pre-Darling harbor..which was a railway goods yard then. Some of the best memories of my late teens there .
This gives me goosebumps going back to that time. I never did any theft or anything like that but I’m the same age as you and this is what it was like on the streets growing up in Sydney back then.
It's funny that, the amount of sneaks and searching we use to do back then climbing buildings to get on balconies to do catties and stuff but now so scared of heights.i shit myself now too bra since i stopped doing drugs n criminal activity.its good to hear some boys finally waking up to ourselves..... Much luv brother!
I love these vids showing the different areas. Thanks for making them. I've lived in Sydney all my life and I still don't really know my way around the city. I'm learning a lot. And you talking about the monorail and then that feeling of when you first moved to the city made me remember when back in 96 & 97 we'd always jig school and come to the city jump on the monorail and explore around. Everyone was so friendly back then and there were huge music stores and arcades to bum around in. And when the cops would stop us they'd see our uniform from Fairfield High and just tell us to catch the train back right away. No harassment like back at home. We never did any crime in the city but one time we saw a fight with machetes and kitchen knives just happen out of nowhere in the middle of a busy street. But that happened all the time back home so it was nothing special. Other than that jigging to the city was like going on holiday for a day. Now I'm a 40 year old reminiscing wondering where all the years went.
Hi Spanian, I love your videos. I love looking at the neighbourhoods through your eyes. I am in urban planning and part of that work is about how to build better neighbourhoods. Quite often you see and mention things that give a new perspective. Would you be happy to have a chat about what you have learned during your travels, and your ideas to make better hoods?
I know Ultimo well I went to tafe there and being a big explorer spent a lot of time just exploring. I have had a fascination for Sydney because my mother gave birth to me on the corner of pit street darlinghurst end we were taken to St Margarets hospital where my Biological Mother left me. My Dads Dad was working as a cleaner in st Margarets and told the hospital to allow my dad to adopt me because him and my Mother couldn't have children of their own. Two and a half years later my Birth mother had my brother and the same thing My dad and mum adopted him too. Hence why I have a fascination for the city and a love for it 💖💕
Would your mother or brother be interested in doing an interview with you . Man , that would be so interesting to get there prospective of what your past was like and when you are today, that would be a cool interview.
The idea of vlogging ur book sounds good! I’d love to see the streets you led the cops through & the house you hid in under the bbq tarp after ya ran the copper over😂
You are the book bro :D love hearing your stories and watching you explore bro. Thank you for staying based in such a twisted f'd up world. Much love from New Zealand!
Casino’s fair game I reckon, a bit of cheeky fun 😂🎰 Lovin the daily vlogs span, it’s mad keeping up & learning something new everyday here 🤘🏼much love brother, hope alls well & your havin a chill time in between all the travel.
Love it I did my apprenticeship at the power house museum when it was still there man lived at top Ryde in 1999 watching this video takes back memories
Talk about sliding doors moment. When I look at Spanian I see myself in the 80s. I grew up in Bankstown and I was spiralling out of control doing similar stuff. Through sheer dumb luck, I got a lucky break and managed to go to Uni, I landed in medicine and now I look at your videos in awe as to how I ended up where I am. Having said that you’re incredibly articulate and clearly very smart. Good luck to you and well done for turning your life around.
I lived on Victoria street at the top of "the stairs" in 1999 to 2001 when I was 26-27 years old. We used to run down the stairs into the hood at Woolloomooloo to buy a dime bag of weed. I wonder if our paths every crossed in the hood. I am now living in Vancouver Canada. We love your channels Spanian!!!
The train tracks in the past would’ve been from what darling harbour was before Darling Harbour about 40 years ago. It was pretty much a shipping dock.
I absolutely love the old terrace houses in Sydney, I’ve taken many photos of them on my visits over the years, the area ur in now, Paddington, the cross, Bondi junction,Glebe, Redfern just love them
I had a similar experience as you. As a kid I lived at a dead end place, nothing much there at all. Then I moved to a busy town, that all sorts of fun stuff happening!
I can’t believe it, used live close to you on Pyrmont st back in between 2001-03, so many new buildings. I walked everyday that small bridge at the car parking to hit darling harbour
Awesome idea! That'd be better even than reading the book 4 sure! Thanks 4 taking us thru ur old flats too! Makes me wanna drive the 3+hrs to my old flats lol...Oh & I did the same missions ay travelling with 1 bus & 2 trains (over an hr travel) to keep going Collingwood high when we moved out to the Burbs lmao... anyway All the best to & ur Tribe thru 2024
Praying you're still with us! I appreciate your honesty and openness without fear of backlash or blah blah ..not many people show such vulnerability. Brave, whether you believe it or not. That's real shit. Many blessings bro. I'll wait around to see if you respond. Ttyl ❤️
I want the book as well I missed out on it if you put it back out how much would like to meet you one day bro I’m a brother from mt druitt from the hood did drugs and everything under the moon now I’m 27 with kid new man and love watching u aye 💯 brother keep up with the shit ya doing your keep a lot of younger out of shit and all your like a god ❤❤ much love for you bra 💯and your more then likely not going to see this but aye all love for ya king 👑
I’ve always wanted to this about my life, I was in boys homes in the 80s for armed robberies, at 18 I was in jail for a huge payroll robbery in 1991 spent time in Long Bay max A1 which was only for the some of Sydneys worst criminals, I’ve done time with some of the worst criminals to walk around in this country, I did time at Parramatta jail also weekends at the Bay and I overdosed there so I had to do my weekends at Parramatta as well, my parents both died when I was in my 20s I used to be a junkie on the gear I’ve done rehabs, I’ve been clean over 23 years, I ended up being addicted to the gym for over 15 years but had a bad accident in 2016 and haven’t been able to train ever since which caused me to get depressed, lost my son in 1999 and his mother my girlfriend never got over it she killed herself 12 months later, this is just a few things bro I’ve honestly lived a fucking hectic life and would mostly want to tell it to try help younger kids today to wake up before they waste there years away like I’ve did, that’s what got me liking your videos the honesty and living in the same city of course with your jail stories you make me laugh because your a crack up the way you tell your story, but yeah get them going in vlogs , just got to watch what you say because you always know the cops are watching they would be subscribed most likely watching your videos in the station together when you upload hoping you might slip up lol 😂😂😂 I’ve said enough for a comment bro 😎 love your videos cheers
Do you really believe his stories 🤔 I know alot of his stories his stolen from other criminals well one in particular who is a high profile criminal that spainian learnt everything from he posted it once then deleted it within the hour
I remember going to the Harbourside Mall every week a very long time ago. Sad to see it gone now, got to pay the place a visit about 4 months before it closed down
Great interesting vlog TH-cam video by spanian showing us his childhood flats what it looked in the late 90s who lives in it now what he used to do in the childhood flats what he used to do in those flats in the late 90s how the area used to be like also
What Young Prople need to know is being Young and Youth is Everything... nothing Compares to that Nothing...and it will go quickly...and you cant go back..💃🏾💃🏾🏹🏹
Spewing taking away the 'monorails'!!! Waterloo!! Back in the day (mid 1980s) my parents use to have some friends that use to live where you were too bro!!! Remember those flats well!!! Those Housing Commission flats were sic!
they bringing light rail back(tram), massive station being built behind marrickville metro. also the metro has another whole building of shops behind it now, where the factories where.
We travelled to Sydney from New Zealand with my High School rugby team for a World Schoolboy Rugby Cup in 1994 and when we had a free day, most of us went on the monorail, as 14yr olds, we were ecstatic and bewildered by Sydney City and the monorail, we did the whole loop twice. And we won that tournament
The wife and I stayed in Darling harbor last year. We came down to see Kurt Cobain's Unplugged guitar at the the powerhouse museum. We love Sydney! Really enjoy watching your videos bro! 🤘🏿
Really feels like he is talking to the viewer like we are there with him and he is just being himself, love it
Yeah very old school vibe, like the beginning days of youtube
Better then nowadays where he just does meetups with gangster wannabes
@@John_Duster yes i agree, i really enjoyed his Cambodia trips alot more

I second this, Spanian has a very similar vibe to a lot of the lads I grew up with here in the west
He would have loved to see Ballymun before the flats got knocked, still plenty of interesting places to see tho
chermside is north brissy
@@ye7562 yes I know. Chermside west is In Chermside.. it's beside Aspley

What year were these flats built in Melbourne and parts of Geelong there being knocked down the government owned land would be worth millions
Love the idea about turning your book into a spoken/recorded series , that's a 1 of a kind , first of its kind idea don't let that slip mate

Hey Spanian, love the idea about Vlogging out your book. I’d love to follow that, do it man !!😎👍
The monorail haha damn and sega world those were futuristic back in the days
Oh man, I thought Sega World was the future. And then Intencity for a bit....
Then the PlayStation came out. And the Saturn ect..
Your mum must be so proud of you now - well done!! so so amazing
This gives me goosebumps going back to that time. I never did any theft or anything like that but I’m the same age as you and this is what it was like on the streets growing up in Sydney back then.
So stoked I got a copy of the book whilst it was still on the shelves 🎉🎉
I'll trade you a hair clip and a condom for it?

When you walked through karama in darwin I was reminiscing on the streets i grew up on too
I liked this was nice to see an hear bout where ya started
I’ve always wanted to this about my life, I was in boys homes in the 80s for armed robberies, at 18 I was in jail for a huge payroll robbery in 1991 spent time in Long Bay max A1 which was only for the some of Sydneys worst criminals, I’ve done time with some of the worst criminals to walk around in this country, I did time at Parramatta jail also weekends at the Bay and I overdosed there so I had to do my weekends at Parramatta as well, my parents both died when I was in my 20s I used to be a junkie on the gear I’ve done rehabs, I’ve been clean over 23 years, I ended up being addicted to the gym for over 15 years but had a bad accident in 2016 and haven’t been able to train ever since which caused me to get depressed, lost my son in 1999 and his mother my girlfriend never got over it she killed herself 12 months later, this is just a few things bro I’ve honestly lived a fucking hectic life and would mostly want to tell it to try help younger kids today to wake up before they waste there years away like I’ve did, that’s what got me liking your videos the honesty and living in the same city of course with your jail stories you make me laugh because your a crack up the way you tell your story, but yeah get them going in vlogs , just got to watch what you say because you always know the cops are watching they would be subscribed most likely watching your videos in the station together when you upload hoping you might slip up lol 😂😂😂 I’ve said enough for a comment bro 😎 love your videos cheers
I remember you from barardy. I'm paulys cuz
What's your name brother
All the best bro for the future

I remember going to the Harbourside Mall every week a very long time ago. Sad to see it gone now, got to pay the place a visit about 4 months before it closed down
Great interesting vlog TH-cam video by spanian showing us his childhood flats what it looked in the late 90s who lives in it now what he used to do in the childhood flats what he used to do in those flats in the late 90s how the area used to be like also
What Young Prople need to know is being Young and Youth is Everything... nothing Compares to that Nothing...and it will go quickly...and you cant go back..💃🏾💃🏾🏹🏹
The fact that Spanian lives in Sydney is crazy, so many places that are familiar to me.
Even the Parking in the Basement is top notch..🌻
Spewing taking away the 'monorails'!!! Waterloo!! Back in the day (mid 1980s) my parents use to have some friends that use to live where you were too bro!!! Remember those flats well!!! Those Housing Commission flats were sic!
Is it possible you could re-release the book as an ebook on your website? Even a remix of it, best of, or a summary or something
Awesome vlog,i loved the old stories
they bringing light rail back(tram), massive station being built behind marrickville metro. also the metro has another whole building of shops behind it now, where the factories where.
there are still monorail stations near darling harbour that haven't been fully knocked down yet
Nice walk through memory lane . Look where you are now ..your doin doin …..well cuz.😄😄…..wish you well.
Is there a way you can publish the book yourself? Give the people what they want 🤣
Yes it's called self published. Costs money and has no draw cards lol.
The publishers probably own the rights to the book. Had a look on ebay and there are a couple selling for $250 wtf, there goes that idea
@@dandyfarm01 🤔
Surely theres a PDF out there of it
I was waiting 18 years I'm now happy and near the beach ⛱️

Just says everything as it is. Love the spanian
We travelled to Sydney from New Zealand with my High School rugby team for a World Schoolboy Rugby Cup in 1994 and when we had a free day, most of us went on the monorail, as 14yr olds, we were ecstatic and bewildered by Sydney City and the monorail, we did the whole loop twice. And we won that tournament
Dead set just binge’ing on Spanian vids lately 🫰
What doin doin, doing. Arrr love it man. Your a kool character brother 👊
your a legend spanian love your work✊️
Shux I havent been to Sydney since 2001 so the place has changed heaps since I last saw it and yes, I remember the mono-rail.
I hope your book becomes available again. I wanna buy it!

The wife and I stayed in Darling harbor last year. We came down to see Kurt Cobain's Unplugged guitar at the the powerhouse museum. We love Sydney!
