Darryl Laycock tells his story.
Darryl Laycock was lucky to survive one of the most violent periods in Manchester's criminal history. After being shot over 20 times and spending half his life behind bars, Darryl has now dedicated the rest of it to keeping others off the same path he took when he was younger.
Darryl grew up in Moss Side in the seventies and eighties, in a house where his dad battered his mum.
By the age of nine, he was seeing a child psychologist because he smashed a chair over a classmate in primary school.
At 13, he was hanging around the streets of Moss Side , causing trouble and stealing cigarettes to sell. Within a year, he was dealing heroin around Alexandra Park.
Soon after, he was mixed up in a gang war that would earn Manchester its infamous ‘Gunchester’ nickname.
As the tit-for-tat dispute escalated, Darryl watched his friend get gunned down in a bakery, killed by a bullet to the head.
Throughout the 1990s, there were tit-for-tat fights, stabbings, shootings and murders in Moss Side. In the space of five years, 27 people were killed and around 250 were injured.
Darryl says, in the course of the whole dispute, he lost over 30 friends and family to murder.
In the course of the dispute, Darryl says he was charged with numerous murders, attempt murders, conspiracy to murder, and section 18 assault.

Can you please invite darryl in again . He has so much more to tell .My comments are late but i will say darryl was a bad man. ( real deal , game and ready ) very dangerous man back in the day . happy that he has vacated his position as a gun man and is now channeling his energy and educating kids about the reality of gang life and it is nothing glamorous. you have a few good years and then its down hill . no loyalty . no friends . grab what u can . horrible lifestyle . but darryl big up my man . keep up the good work . you are a rare gem
Can tell he’s not sitting bluffing about anything at all and seems to be a real one although he held back on going into detail about things which is fine but we like the ones who go into it
On a one 2 one chat he probo would tell ya the real dilly but walls have big ears online don’t they gotta be smart and just feed em in drips man or it’s game over with the feds we know their about practically squatting online they are 😅
its one thing talking about something that happened but its a whole nother thing to talk details about something you got investigated for... hes a smart lad
Another brilliant podcast James. The book 'Gang War' by Peter Walsh gives an amazing account of the trouble in Manchester during the 80's & 90's, with Darryl's name mentioned on several occasions.
The Deadliest UK Gang War Documentary!

This book caught my attention, need to buy it
Darryl Laycock. My old/first pad mate in HMP Lindholme in 1995. I'd just been 'Reclassified' at 20 Yr old to adult status and my first pad-mate in cons was this fella.
I remember that story you told me about the first time you got shot in the bottom of your foot. That story hasn't changed one iota in 26 years.
Good to see you're doing well in life Darryl 👍Stay safe and respect bro.

I hope this guy can get himself into shape, loose weight- gain more energy, become more lively, can feel and see his low but this guy been through alot I can hear, I by all means say this not as disrespect, but to make his life better. Loosing weight, been in good shape and health, physically n mentally, he's on the journey but, be a good challenge for him and the energy increase will be huge for this man as., maybe he has story to tell the full u,k and do a tour around. Serving that amount of time , been shot at that number of times, he has 1 heck of a life story and that can look after him financially in future. All the best
John Lee 😂🤣😂🤣 do you wanna get him in shape or summat
Top Podcast James great to see Daryl turning his life around best of luck to him.
All the best to you this Channel is still growing and i hope you reach 100K Subs in 2020.
Thanks mark
Fair enough he’s gone clean but he works security at my accommodation and he’s got an attitude on him the size of Everest, doesn’t really do much to help the 50 or so people that live here, there was an incident a few months back and he had a van and a car pull up in literally 3 minutes flat and he said to this guy if u don’t leave ur gonna be put into the back of that van and u ain’t going home, reformed? I don’t think so.
@@micahmanchester8473 sounds like you know what he’s like quite well, ur describing him down to a T
Need more Scottish people on gerry cinnamon for 1
Mike Lavin this year
@@JamesEnglish sound james
Mike Lavin yeah man
27 mins in- spare parents from burying kids. He has a gd heart this man, good words throughout this show upto now, to hear his heart yet understand his life story, is beyond me, life is short, this chap has a good chance to live it now the best way, go for it n keep on the narrow as long as u can.
Would be sick to get Kieren Proverbs (KPB) on your podcast. Or Candyman. Both GoochGang (OT Crip) gangsters from Manchester. Either would be good to see, very interesting stories.
Funny how the younger generation thinks that gangsters look like 50 cent or Stormzy when really they look like this..
You can see his pain. At least he is now channeling that pain and anguish into positivity!
The only thing that scares me, is cats 😂😂😂😂😂
New mate for Darren gee people like that should work together
I don’t think they would get on with it been Manchester v Liverpool
@@davyjohnson10 thats just the football bro, manchester Liverpool work hand in hand
Who is The Gladiator from the Gang Wars book? He's Bugzy Malone's uncle, you need to get him on here.
I live in moss side, lots of people remember gladiator, he was hard bastard but I'm pretty sure he was shot dead a few years back. Think Bugzy even mentions it in MEN.
@@romani835 From the Gang Wars book it seemed like he had massive influence and was Cheetham Hill's equivalent of Massey/Damien Noonan. Would be good to hear his story. I noticed the author didn't reveal his actual name which makes me think he was a bad mofo because there are a few people that the author seemed to scared to actually name.
@@arunsd9 yeh it mentions in one of the books how he went to one of his enemies funerals, didn't bring any tools he went unarmed and brawled with a whole gang of men. Don't think many people knew his actual name he's just known round here and throughout manchester as gladiator.
@@romani835 thanks man. Appreciate it. Maybe James gets Bugzy on to tell his uncles story?!!🙌🏼🙌🏼
It's me
I'm from manny Trust me this guy was active when I was a kid
@GRE Tommy Pitt was one dangerous guy
@@MH-vp7lf They used to spar together
Very underrated interview / podcast channel I’ll be sharing with my mates👌
Cheers tony
Could you interview Shaun Smith
Love the podcasts
Ok
This is quality James mate
Thank you
This vid took me back to the nineties scrary times in Manchester great pod
👍🏼
jimmy stewart i was born in 95, though i wasn’t alive during the troubles there’s something that just keeps me interested about it, a bit of history we need to move on from but remember to never forget how far the country has come from during those times
Love a new pod on a Sunday especially in this weather. Enjoyed his interview with Shaun and Wildman so looking forward to this one. Big up James English as always
James can you look in to getting gav from Manchester on, he was also part of doddignton and has a crazy story to tell!
@Lee Parry yes mate, gav mcleod from mosside 😎👊🏼, what a story that man has to tell and trust me he’s realer then all these other so called gangsters.
@Lee Parry I’ve heard that too 😂😂, one of the very few from that side that held his own against the gooch. He’s going hard In his music now and has got a podcast out there, have you seen it
@Lee Parry I’ve seen the Kieran proverbs one too, I knew he was from the opposite side to gav but didn’t know them to personally were opps and at each other like that. I thought gav was more at war with the likes of lee Amos and Collin Joyce , would have thought Kieran is a bit younger. I ain’t from south manny but the stories out of that place have always caught my attention
@Lee Parry hahaha yeah the north is a bit nasty now lol, and yeah shit has calmed down massively , good to chat to you bro 👊🏼👊🏼
Loved it Daryl. Just a guy looking a new start. A new life. And for once to be finally accepted
Remember used to pick bud up off a kid who had two uzis in his centre console... atthe maccys in fallowfield... students just walking round oblivious haha
@@simonyip5978 the tax men coming for your goodies .that's why
@@scottsutherland1349 I suppose that it wasn't the customers who were buying the weed that he needed to be careful of, but the taxers like you say.
Manchester for.you mate
Grew up with Darryl and the long fella in 90s still in moss to this day it’s calmed a lot but the issues are still there... bi respect to D for coming threw and turning around only good things can come out of it
Some guy! A think we all go through shit to learn from and help others that's what it's all about! Society need people like him to try and get through to these kids especially down south it's mental compared to Scotland as far as gangs etc. It seems to be more knife crime here or it was anyway but the gang culture down there just takes too many lives things need to change 👌
I offered to speak in schools but literally can't not swear, a lot. I thought i could scare em out of anything i could, apparently can't do that so spoke to other adults. And had a lot of arguments about what ive done, punishment and life is pretty loney when you have too cut off all the shits dragging you down. Trust no one. Don't ever rely on anyone else for your own safety. No family. N Worse.
When Darryl came to an area in Manchester the drug dealers would close up shop.
Get Brian mcfadden mi5 8 years inside the ira be some story 👍
This is the best podcast I’ve watched much love 2 the big man 👨 he’s so lucky 2 be alive he’s got the most beautiful eyes hope he gets through 2 the kids 👍❤️
My dad grew up in Moss Side 80’s - 90’s n it was no joke and still isn’t
Good afternoon James
Great interview yet again , this lad has been through some shit and no doubt dished some out as well, I do wish him a happy and safe future all the same
I just watched the Gooch gang documentary and a lot of details line up its crazy
Outstandind again James👍🏴☝️ Daryl would love to have a beer some day, if your ever up in the North East of Scotland,give me a holler bro 🏴🍺👍 love the way you put the young team first ☝️ and put over anything is possible guys, leave the guns and knives at home, stay clear guys please 🙏 Daryl and me will tell you that you don’t get the years back, wasted in a prison Cell😢💔 I thought there was a code as well,bollocks and your so called mates soon forget you😡your family gets the sentence as well .well done Daryl and keep up your great work 👍😇❤️
Good viewing just laughing a Scottish bloke with the name James English
i was more laughing at the name laycock , no wonder his a nut bag he must of got torn a new one from early for that name alone
Torn a new one? Doubt it mate unless they had a death wish
Get kenny noye on, he’s out now ain’t he?
Would everybody stop getting shot
Tell him from me James that it didn’t start with him and the fact that he’s breaking generational curse, not with his children, if any, but children across the country and he should be proud of himself for real. A true testimony of a true warrior 💚🙏🏾
you never put daryl's socails in the desc...
To know that people are out there that if they have enough cash can get hold of 500 bullets in the uk is the scariest thing I've ever heard of.Darryl is a one off if more people with story's like his shared less people would go into crimnality
Stopped after 2 mins.....same old story...
Get your book done darryl ,I would definitely buy it ,proper man doing good things turned his life around RESPECT !
The silver lining out of all the madness is that ya still alive n obviously blessed for a reason.like another ex d.o.g.member I know who is now a ‘social worker’ keep up the good work d 🤛🏾
I remember darrel from back in the day really nice guy
👍🏼

Make a Hollywood blockbuster his story
Manchester in the early 90s was a different world man mega times....I was born in Withington And was always around Longsight Levenshulme ect...I remember this guys name was deffo about....And the shit that was happeneing back then was even worse than the news could convey..Street robberies and stuff like that was mad....Everyone wanted to run the city back then various different family names ect it was a real warzone man but as kids you don't really think until later on....Lookin back I myself have been lucky as far as situations that could of been fatal but it is what it is glad this guy is trying to keep it positive...Respect
yh mate i grew up just on the border of levenshulme near the mcvties factory, moved to longsight later on and i heard his name about every now and then.
Its amazing that a lot of our generation brought kids up, im still on a comedown from 1993!
