I wasn't keen on Stephen when i first watched him around five years back. For some reason I decided to watch this a few months ago n actually enjoyed listening to his stories. Now Im back again watching him. Hes an interesting man. I wish him all the best in his endeavours.
Woke up just now after watching 30min of this and while asleep all I can hear is yeah yeah yeah yeah I woke up and Mrs asked me if I want sumin to eat I said YEAH
Steven I was in risley with you and you were always up for a chat I walked the yard with you talking and I heard you with my own ear trying to encourage the young lads to turn their backs on crime 💯 I'm Douglas good listening to you again 😎 keep one step ahead of the the system and they can't crush your dreams
Apparently Mr. French here was a bit of a bully when he was imprisoned in Albany, he tried to steal the commissary from an Irish man who just entered the prison only to get smashed up by the Irish man who used a tin of peaches to rearrange his face, he stopped his bullying after that life lesson.
Shaun was dying by the end 😅😅 we've all been there , when someone just wont stop or take a hint. Looked like you had been on a 12 hour flight by hour 3 haha
Shaun my man do yourself a favour and invest in a more comfortable chair those 3 hours must have been a real stretch in the thing you're sitting on. Mad respect my dude 👍
I thoroughly enjoyed that, the time flew by. Like your style Shaun of letting the guest get his say without interrupting but if it gets laboured you interject and get it back on track, not necessarily this one just in general.
after a ten year run addicted to crack, I'm only a week into sobriety, and as I listen to your episodes while I struggle to sleep, I often find myself dreaming that I'm in jail and these stories are being told to me by my cellmate. it's a fuckin trip, sometimes it's nightmarish, sometimes the stories are being told to me by crazy fucks from my own past; on this particular day, I dreamt I was in a posh cell, fully furnished , a total fantasy vision of prison...the funniest part is when these stories are told and the person I see in my dream is a person, a criminal friend, from my own past. It really is a trip. I'm 41 now, goin on 50, a criminal-outlaw since the age of 4 or 5, believe it or not...and although, I've earned a Master's degree, I have talent, skills, here I am at rock bottom..alone, in debt, struggling to figure out how all this gets put back together. Do I have story to tell, would anyone listen...who the fuck knows, who the fuck would care anyway HA! Here's to you Shaun. Thank you for helping me get through the night.
This was a great podcast. The best podcasts/interviews are the ones where you let the guy speak instead of constantly interrupting them. I feel like Shawn does that really well and therefore gets the best out of whoever he is interviewing. Stephen French is a very intelligent man, and I'm glad he is mentally stable in his life and is wanting to do good.
Thank you. Watching and Listening from Alaska. Even though I am from US, it's interesting that I can actually follow this story. When a person is street wise you understand.
@Paula M Jesus Christ take a joke...bet your the type of person that writes to ofcom when theres a bit of cleavage on TV. I wasn't poking fun at him because he has a speech impediment, i was merely making a joke (you know as comedians do, to try and have a laugh). Stop being a Karen, the world is shit enough as it is.
@Ian Concannon look on the bright side brother, remember al capone from the 1920's? its when america cancelled / banned alcohol, you had a thing called speak easy, secret bars for secret members, the same thing will happen again in the 2020's but only this time in the form of Christmas celebration or birthday parties or any parties.
You know what. I’ve slagged him off I felt he had a bad showing on James English. However, he gets my support on the missing kids, political cover ups and sick elite agendas.
@Scott Fraser he did say that now he does not want talk about his past, that is what he said before saying he has already answered all that can be answered and he states he wants to focus on turning things into positive things. A lot of people though do like to listen about the darker days and he said he done it this time just so the american side of the audience knew but wants the future to focused on
@@shogun...... Not really :) A clock that has stopped will be correct at least twice a day, a broken clock can be one that is an hour behind or that has its movement speed in balanced :) understand what you mean though
Saw this guy on Danny Dyer talking about reform. Few months later he went to jail. Does he think he’s impressing people or something? Talks so much bollocks half of the time
@@Johnsmith-xd5gi Like he has said himself most of what he claims can be confirmed online on way or another, and i know that he is being honest about his early life in the pool as my family came from the exact same area of the pool, also he is correct on the only way to beat the system and get justice is by learning in depth the way the system operates and the vague guidelines they do it in, also not only useful for actions against police, politicians and the likes but helped me doing the same when my daughter faced being punished and removed from college for reasons which are down to her ADHD (poor concentration and being restless which would at times irritate the teacher), only through researching both the symptoms of the illness and equal rights had i learnt that to be told off and punished is discrimination (which is pretty obvious) but also that their had been failings in providing the adequate support required, even after telling them at a meeting i was told it was not true that it is discrimination, they had to accept it when i gave them official documents as proof. i know its different than taking officials to higher courts but the main principle of researching things in depth and do not rely on others to protect your rights. All the best :)
@@friarbishme my co d's are from tok, I'm from l4. I spent time inside with people who worked with him and friends of his. His stories are fabricated.. as told by real Liverpool gangsters
Shaun let the man get a word in will ya yeah yeah yeah yeah right right . Wow man you got the patience of a saint . At least all us lot can get up and do things . Bless ya tho mate love your channel and your activism keep the fight going my man .
i was locked up in hmp preston in 2013....stephen french is a good guy i spoke to him a few times and he is a good judge of character....i saw no arrogance or attitude in him he was polite and respectful and knows about other cultures and values/traditions......i was very suprised.....although known as the devil i only saw a good trying to redeem himself
*I grew up in Middlesbrough. my family was poor, I mentally escaped my surroundings by reading library books and studying people, comparing them to each other. During my first ten visits to London at age 16 onwards, I was shocked by the quality, intelligence, and wealth of the people seen there. They did not drink Camerons Strongarm, sit in pubs, visit betting shops, or live in South Bank, or Cannon Street Mbro, they certainly did not mix with the Lee Duffys of this world. Smart people, rich people, and wise people. You can follow their example, Do it today. If need be get out of Middlesbrough and move.*
you should have studied your surroundings in my beloved Boro, I'm a born n bred Grovehillian, (from the notorious council estate Grove Hill) and I've lived and worked all over the UK, especially down south, living in London, Kent, Essex etc and hand on heart I wouldn't want to live anywhere else then Middlesbrough, yes it's a poverty stricken decaying industrial town, full of idiots, roid heads, and plastic gangsters who think they are in a mob movie, but it's also home, with the countryside and the seaside basically on our doorstep, be proud of your home, and believe me the grass is never greener, it just a bit different 😉 UTB
@@leethistlethwaite4381 *< Lee; During WW2 , The Gernans bombed Middlesbrough they did £10-00 worth of damage, the Grove Hill, Pallister Park, South Bank slum areas in Mbro are dumps, Leave now.*
That interview was great. It's a pity that Stephen wasn't still doing a bit of charlie. This would have been 3 times longer. 😂😂🤣. Good luck to the guy in all he aims for 👍🏽✌🏽🍻
Stephen the scrapyard story ties in with Paul Grimes first encounter with Curtis Warren @ his scrapyard As mentioned in his book Powder Wars ......................................................
Ah it froze up on your last question I didn’t get to hear the question or answer bummer ! Great Broadcast Shaun thank you and thank you the “devil “ I am sorry sir I forgot your real name ! I pray you stay away from anything illegal and be happy and I hope you get your dream !
A stand-up, intelligent gentleman and a man of honor from my generation (although I'm several years older) who's clearly gained wisdom and insight through experience and maturity. Excellent messages to young people. I was a hard man -- and still could be, if necessary -- when younger, so I can relate to much he talks about. Thanks, Frenchy, for doing the podcast!
And when Stephen French says he chased Tommy Gilday down west Darby road he's chatting sh*t it was Tommy who chased him and then he knocked Stephen French clean out Tommy was the hardest guy in Liverpool before he died ye ye ye right !
No1 is the hardest in any town. People get dropped down a peg everyday so to say he was lien is not fair. It could of well happened . We're you there like gangster
Yeah that whistle you heard was probably Andrew. I know some close minded people will label you crazy. But When my Granda died, granny went soon after. She wasn't that old, just died of a broken heart really. Anyway, she came back after she had died. She spoke to her sons wife just as she rose out of bed in the morning. I know of 4-5 similar stories just from my wider family. That sort of thing can happen. Probably your pal allowed one last chance to say don't worry, I love yah.
Great interview, really interesting and makes a lot of sense, people forget Stephen French is well respected athlete too. I supposed the life he chose was in the 80s' - 90's was the way it was, survival of the strongest.
Ste I lived in TOXTETH ..I knew you you knew me ..I hung out with Jaffa Tomy Ali .Chris gibbo .we where all granby lads I was in the guidance unit on princes AVE with Peter o..when u turned up at Kirkland's etc I dreaded it ..lol you glared at me but I knew you knew I was from the area ..STE I have done same left Liverpool packed in door work ..I now have normal good job down south..
If you take all of the yeah rights out of this interview, it only lasts 20 min
Can't help that, part of mental health condition

@@Johnsmith-xd5gi Alright John mate 😁🤟
@@JohnSmith-uk3oh long time, How's the family fella
@@Johnsmith-xd5gi Well you know John, always pretty good lad 😁
The best interviews are when the host shuts up and let's the interviewee talk and tell their stories. In this one Shaun nailed it.
Yeah yeah
I wasn't keen on Stephen when i first watched him around five years back. For some reason I decided to watch this a few months ago n actually enjoyed listening to his stories. Now Im back again watching him. Hes an interesting man. I wish him all the best in his endeavours.
Yeah right

I love Shauns laid back interview style. No rush. He lets ppl talk. Keep up the good work!
27 mins in & Shaun STILL hasn’t gotten a word in 😂😂😂😂

You know It is Britain when you hear that a gangster goes to court to sort their legal issues with other gangsters.
French was real. My old man lived in Toxteth in the late 80s. He saw Frenchy go into a gaff on Lime St and beat a known dealer outside his stash house
Apparently Mr. French here was a bit of a bully when he was imprisoned in Albany, he tried to steal the commissary from an Irish man who just entered the prison only to get smashed up by the Irish man who used a tin of peaches to rearrange his face, he stopped his bullying after that life lesson.
hahah
Just hope the Irishman never got charged with breach of the peach 🍑. 😁
Would love to of seen that
Never mate him but can’t stand him
I love tin peach but Frenchy not so much
Why would anyone waste ta energy on that lad, fucking bs
No matter how many times you have to reupload Shaun I’ll still listen all ye way through
You deserve a medal, I couldn’t get past 3mins of this waffle
i know like torture in it,, ermm righ right ermm rught right ermm ermm ermm liten right right erm
Yeah, yeah right.
Shaun was dying by the end 😅😅 we've all been there , when someone just wont stop or take a hint. Looked like you had been on a 12 hour flight by hour 3 haha
Stephen french used to extort money out of people by going round for his tea and staying all night telling them stories 😂
@@jayrorschach2247 hahahaha
So true I was thinking that after 30 minutes in I could see Shaun sighing looking as if he was giving up the will to live 🤣
😂😂
If you can watch this interview start to finish, you pass SAS selection.
Really good interview . thank you for sharing 😊
Wonder what would happen if Shaun screamed "NO!!!!" right after Frenchy said "yeah, yeah right?"
HAAAAAAAHAAAA HILARIOUS
Funny that!
He'd most probably get his face burst open

Shaun my man do yourself a favour and invest in a more comfortable chair those 3 hours must have been a real stretch in the thing you're sitting on. Mad respect my dude 👍
Nearly 4 fucking hours ffs😩

Shaun is skilled and doing that.
The time flew by for you? What were you in a time machine?
Eat a fun size Snickers every time he says "yeah" and drink a quarter can of beer every "right"
I think I’d be in a coffin at the end

Nobody in Liverpool had even heard of him till a few years ago he just came out of nowhere and he's supposed to be a legend?
Thanks Steven ! I am so happy you have turned your life around ! Great interview
Met him in person, we spoke for 3hrs.
What a guy.

Shaun brought out the best in SF, this interview is INFINITELY better than the Scottish guy's interview "yeah, yeah yeah, right!".
Shaun massive respect to you, your book and shows. Seriously this man is a tool. Full of nonsense.
Saw this guy on Danny Dyer talking about reform. Few months later he went to jail. Does he think he’s impressing people or something? Talks so much bollocks half of the time
Thanks Shaun. Always interesting.
Keep coming back to this when you need reminding that there's people with bigger issues out there.

He has a stammer. Ye ye ye right ok
Yea with lugar in hand

No one gives a shit about Liverpool gansters except people from Liverpool. They're irrelevent.

Top podcast Shaun... just got me through a Boring morning at work would like to see aki come on and tell he’s side of the story!
I got to 6:17 yeah yeah right. How would the people inside the club know that happened when you was locking it up? Putting chains on the door!?
Yeah that whistle you heard was probably Andrew. I know some close minded people will label you crazy. But When my Granda died, granny went soon after. She wasn't that old, just died of a broken heart really. Anyway, she came back after she had died. She spoke to her sons wife just as she rose out of bed in the morning.

Wouldn’t fancy asking him for directions if I was lost.
This story of the lad in Preston is so true I was there it was on the way to eduction labour movement
