- Tony Hoang shares his story of going from a heroin dealer and drug addict to a preacher and minister for Potters house.
Tony grew up in Cabramatta around drugs and gangs. First incarcerated at 13 and buying his first handgun at 14, he then went on to dealing heroin.
After a heroin overdose and near death experience at 21, he decided things needed to change and found God, he has never looked back since.

Aye toko I'm lost bro IV beating the heroin life but this alcohol addiction is killing me and when I was locked up at 21 I had dreams of all scenarios of me not living till 30 I'm 29 and from 21 till now I'm weak I once used to be strong but now I dunno I'm even married and have 3 beautiful kids and a wife that no price can pay for her she's stuck staunch from the get go I need help Tony when your bro came to me inFairfield 2 years ago I didn't know I would be a alcohol addiction but he still got my number and tried to save me I'm asking if you can help me because your words are powerful and I feel that dream is coming and I'm running out of time much ofaS I'm writing this on my lunch break thank you anh
I’m glad he’s my pastor I wouldn’t be a Christian if it wasn’t him, such a down to earth humble man and a great role model, love the channel bro giving god his praises and promoting a positive change
Much love, all glory to God
Met him in Canberra when I was going through some bad times. Changed my perspective.
Man…what a story of redemption. So happy for you Tony. Praise God.
God bless you too King Dave…another awesome interview. ❤️
Love you brother
God bless. Whoever made it through the 90s on heroin.
Word bro - I was there . Glad to say I am still here . Much peace to the righteous ones
It was everywhere.
@@erjustundag1300 still is
Only thing I didn't touch. We would bash cunts for getting our mates on it. It destroyed alot of top blokes and chicks. But its good compared to ice.
I hear ya, every time I think back to the 90s, the first thing I think of is Heroin... I lost a lot of good friends to heroin. I sometimes wonder how I made it out alive. I thank the Lord everyday, and also for my two beautiful children. I think the reason I made it out was because the Lord planted a seed in me when I was a teenager, the exact thing happen to me that Tony Hoang said. Some random dude on the street asked if I would say a prayer with him, I walked away buzzing with goosebumps, that was the day the Lord planted the seed and it grew then flourished as the years went on. I still struggled with drugs for years but that seed grew stronger and stronger until the day came when I accepted Jesus into my life. Great things happened after that. Praise Jesus. If you knock he will always answer.
Beautiful show King Dave.
Thank you for sharing your story brother Tony and now your beautiful truth.
Much Love Gentleman.
Great episode. Totally captivating and another fantastic message that really, we all need to hear.
❤️
he speaks no lie cabramatta was ruthless back in the days an open air heroin market at the station
I remember hammer users jumping off and getting back on the same train while scoring.🤣
@@MoUNTYB0ii lmao yeh bro
For sure, I lived on Fisher st in the 90s near to the station.
Cabramatta pub was a very dangerous pub back in the 90's.
Great testimony from my pastor! He actually mentioned you to me months ago about doing a podcast with you. Keep up the good work bro!! 🙌
God bless
What a beautiful way to turn your life around! Much love as always Dave!
Your story's incredible, PTSD is a tough thing to grow up with. Thanks
I wait patiently all week for your show, so far I have not been disappointed. I am one of 10, father alcoholic, I never took the path you did Tony, my kids are my saviours, I am always happy to hear stories when people turn their lives around, I've seen a lot of friends turn down the wrong road, there is always a path back, glad you found yours and that you are helping others on your journey, well done. Thanks King Dave keep the stories of hope coming,its so refreshing in this uncertain world in which we share together.
Much love always appreciate your views and comments, hope all is well as can be

Powerful Testimony Bro - "the way the truth the light" - TIM, PERTH AUSTRALIA
Great episode bro. As always 💕
💕
One of your best interviews 90s -2000s Sydney not a lot of people made it out of gang life and drug addiction
Oh my god my brother Tony, this man, all my growing up life, has always spoken the truth about everything, love that photo bro. Miss you and the boys
Bro ❤️ on point & watched & felt it all.
Grew up around that area & era.
The yarns & stories to tell in an educational way to let others know their not alone.
You where 💯 % right.
Man Black Market lol blast from the past.
Keeping it real the old bull from the school of hard Knox.
Tony is right no 1 gives a fk
about you in that element.
You really get to know who your real friends are.
Good friend Ps Tony is. Faithful man and even better Pastor of his church. Great to see this testimony as I've had the privilege to hear it many times but gets better every time. God bless brother Dave. Potters House all day.
🙏✝️

Hi Ang Tony.
I was in Cabra in your days. I had a baby with anh binh tran, sisters Cindy Oanh, and Kim. My name is Sam. Aussie Sam.😁 I was the 3rd (I think) Aussie girlfriend) of 1992 accepted in our area
I was so happy to see this pod cast of you. Truely made my heart melt. Not sure if you remember me, but I so remember you. Cabramatta made me who I am, coming from a broken home, brought into such a loyal, loving, accepting life. You all showed me and taught me how to be a loyal, better person. Never wanted to think about What my life would have or could have been without all you beautiful souls in cabra! RIP Binh Van Tran, deported 2000. My love♥️
He’s been around since I moved to Sydney 1992. He’s a changed man, seen him around Cabramatta/Bankstown stations handing out scripture leaflets and few tv shows sharing his testimony.
Many of these gangsters flaunt advertise their wealth, most asians will still drive the average car blend in.
I would like to add a reply as a mother of a young man in prison for the forth time
I’m absolutely devastated to know my son is gone for years from me, in fact it’s almost destroyed my ability to move forth in life, working.
I remember the Cabramatta days, I was a nursing student from Campbelltown and trained it through there, I was young but aware of possible danger
I never could have imagined my son would be considered dangerous, there is no one to talk to, it truly is suffering for family, not to mention my beloved son
Thanks for sharing
@@user-ku5tp7wj6zBest wishes to you and your family. This is no easy thing.
What a flyer if your looking for a sign here it is … very powerful I’ve reached out asked for the sign and watched and felt the change instantly
God is good
great interview as always. i remember cabra in the 90s. god bless.
🙏
Was full on, lived on Fisher st in the 90s
Makes Spaniard look like a boy scout.
Spaniard? Never heard of her.
New episode for a Sunday sesh...i got prawns and doritos too I'm pumped
🍿
Blaze up cuzz
I love the host man. Such a pure heart
The guest was great also man. 👍👍👍
😌🦁
I remember cabramatta back in the days. Sitting in the restaurant with my parents and out of nowhere vietnamese men with butcher knives start slashing each other. We were like WTF
Great episode brother. I remember those days. God can move mountains. God bless all
our God is bigger
Had the pleasure of meeting pastor Tony he a good man ❤️ glory to god 🙏
Come back to church Franny! God can use your life!
@@ThePottersHouseChurchFairfield he is using me brother tony ❤️ good to see you pastor 🙌
wow what a story... love your work bro keep it up
God bless boys….another great interview
powerful interview
One of the best interviews ever
I was a teenager when cabramatta became the heroin capital of Australia. Lost some good mates to overdoses and Gaol. It was really a crazy place and time
It very interesting yet a nice change to hear this man say that he asked Media groups "what the purpose is for them to Interview him" because he's right, all they want is the 'negative' material when he's prob beyond sick of talking about a bad Past
5T & Madonna's Boyz ran Cabra with the Chileans and Serbs. McBurney Rd OG's. Good shit, Tony
KO, Black Dragon also
Black Eagles
4 aces
Tri Minh Tran lived on McBurney Rd. Ro Van Le headed Madonna's mob. Vu (that Tony speaks on) was a member of MB.
The Ts would get alot of their stuff from the Duong family.
Awesome testimony brother thanks for sharing this story Lord bless and make you to win more soul hearts for God kingdom......👍✌
Remember tony from years ago on a show, god bless tony
Great story bro I grew up in Liverpool to bro lived it all god bless bro 🙏
I remember watching this guy on gangs of Oz . Much love brahh
Awesome shot of uplift jst made my day.
A lot of people will brush off this story as coincidence, this is no lie and you don’t know until you experience it.
But if you’re open to him showing you signs you will receive them.
God is great 😌
King dave can you give us another vid of your full story.
Mashallah amazing work my brother may God bless u and guild ❤
Always here to support the brother King Daveo
Cheers brother appreciate it
When you were a teenager You are now a respectable and mature adult.
Onya Tony.. God Bless 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
I remember Tony and his cousin coming to school after selling the gear and they made 3k before school just from selling near Cabra train station for an hour or so before hoping on the train to Glenfield at 8am for school at 8.30 it was hectic!
Love how you turned out cuz! Can't believe you made it on the felon show! Lol
God bless love yr interviews
Much love
@@TFSpodcast_ king Dave .cheers ..
I remember the days in blackmarket .... glad to see your doing well beautiful man ♂️ to make it out of the dark days with you xxx so many didnt
I was once friends with Johnny Tran back when he ran the Big Circle Gang. They use to control the Junk around Canley Vale. $50.- for a point.
Thanks for sharing, my heart is broken for my beautiful son.
I pray he will find peace and make steps forward in his life.
Will you consider going into prisons to reach out to young men please?
He does go into different prisons and schools 🙏
Thanks, I’ll ask my son about this x
Is there a support group for families, I’ve searched online, nothing after hours.
So incredibly difficult to try to process the grief of losing a child to the prison system, it has nearly broken me, however I remain here for him
I feel terribly alone, family disappear, prison guards treat you as second class citizens.
I’m not, I work as RN locally and have done for over 30 years .
I don’t judge anyone anymore
We are all one humanity, our experiences make us who we are
No support group
God Bless you Tony!!!
I lived in Bonnyrigg next suburb to cabra and spent a lot of time there and let me tell you the place was crazy you had dealers from 12yo up everywhere selling. As soon as you got off the train you had people coming up to you straight away from everywhere just giving you a nod of the head snd you knew what that meant. And in every street every set of flats had at least 1 unit set up as a drug house it was just everywhere and cheap as. Back then a quarter of a gram would cost you on the street $70 or $50 if you knew a dealer not from the street these days a that quarter gram costs you $150 but today Cabra is so different its still there but you have to go looking for it these days.
I remember those days, syringes everywhere and people on the nod. It’s definitely not the open market it use to be and not the same quality either.
So awesome!
Anen Tony thank you for sharing God Bless you and your family in abundance as you continue to Bless others.
Thank You Lord Jesus for The Felon Show and our brother in Christ 🙌
Amen brother
Fucken brother Tony hoang the man is a ledgend nothing but love and time and patience godless brother tony
I can't believe there is no footage of cabramatta in the late 90s..it was awash with high quality,cheap heroin and a generation of youth was hooked on heroin.25 years later and I'm still smoking heroin but that is my choice. Ynwa
There is some footage out there bro the doco this guy was in once upon a time in Cabramatta is excellent plus there's another one too that's good but I can't remember the name it might be on the gsngs of Oz series
Coppers got a lot of videos but its all sealed away
Same, I got close to 25 years on the gear and I’m still local.
Cabra back in the 90s was the real deal man damnn it was hot gréât testimony brothers .
Fisher st represent lol
this man too inspirational
Pastor Tony Praise God!
Need a un religious format of this. These men did it all on their own in my beliefs and saying it's "god" takes away from how strong and driven they are when they set a goal be it bug time dealer or big time sober inspiration. Good luck to them each to their own but I'd prefer the podcast without being preachy af and pushing their santa on everyone listening.
Hi from Wellington Kiwiville. A lot of my mates went to Sydney to live in the late 70's right through to the 2000's. I heard all about Cabra back then, "Ya wanna get on?!" was like the local national anthem by all accounts. I stayed away from Ozzie cos I knew I would have died there, OD or whacked for skull-duggery. A good mate who went to Sydney in 82 and is still there is a great snooker player, I'm talking a REAL good player, he had over 50 Century breaks when he was 17 years old. Ive lost contact with him, Dennis Paul is his name if anyone knows him over there and can point me in his direction, or alerts him to this post, so he can contact me, would be grouse, there's a ton of mail to catch up on and we are old now so time is of the utmost essence. We are now olde enough to be on the pension, December for me so id like to catch up with him obv. Years ago I heard he was doing the Small table circuit, apparently its big potatoes in Oz, League clubs and RSA's etc have a good thing happening in the small table pool scene. Dennis is a champion on either small or big tables. Good to see you two have got your life back where it belongs, in your own hands, and skills to the pair of you, its not easy doing a complete reversal of your life, for various reasons. One things for sure though, and many gangsters the world over can attest to this, If you ask The Lord for help, and you wish to turn it around, HE hears you, and here we have the both of you, living proof. Even Stan Smith found The Lord years before he died, and Stanley was a BAD MAN, he had a Black Belt in violence but appeal to The Lord he did, and natch, HE answered, so anybody reading this post who is a bad ass and is toying with getting a life, Just Do It, bad ass or not, you are NOT naughtier than Stanley Smith, so the door is open, as soon as you get released from your lagging. Good Luck to you. Enjoying your Channel cuzz. Subbed with Noties ages ago, so I'm a starter.
I grew up around cabramatta before and during the influx of indo chinese refugees, decided to travel to Vietnam in 1992 and I have to admit I felt safer in the streets of Saigon
😂 fk 5T were really insane bck then. Brought the war in vietnam to cabra
Train doors open and you get asked "cap" with eyebrows raising.
Si lo ricordo bene il loro gesto con gli occhi x vendere la capsula a 50 dollari 0,3 però a MELBOURNE bourke street al angolo x andare a Chinatown
Vicino alle sale giochi nel periodo 1990 2000 erano tutti asiatici con i capelli lunghi neri e messe bionde la loro eroina era suprema, mi mancano quegli anni. Adesso è dal 2010 che sono pulito, anche xche qui in Italia eroina di quella qualità non esiste ciao 🖐. SCUSAMI se non ti ho risposto in inglese ma il non è buono .
I'd reckon Tony has those mug shits of himself up behind him ( when doing his talks ) up there for him to remind him in those moments of what it was for extra encouragement during his presentation...
...And what the crowd gets is just extra visual taste for the story
And there was no fear of no one dobbing or snitching when you guys were selling the drugs, because the police were allowing all this to happen in the form that it was happening in...
White coppers profiting off of the despair of anyone who wasn't white
Typical fucken Australia.
This fella is awwn 🤙🏽 Chur brothrr
Love this man❤️🔥came to the rehab I was in,changed my life gave me revelation now I work in the rehab and bring boys to his church to save there souls 🙏

Dave what happened to self taught?
He sniffing coke in his nostrils
From evil to greatness 💯
what cambodian gangs were there in cabramatta?
There was one called PTC that I knew of.
not much cambos were just doing errands followin 5t around
I went to school with Tony and his cousin in 1993 we were at Campbell house in Glenfield because we got kicked out of mainstream school.
He was a legit crim, Good to see where he's at in life now and that he has gotten away from all the bullshit in that life!
God bless you.

Mad King Dave 🤴 that was a good one bra, the heroin fucked my family and the effects are still there today
God bless 🙏🏾❤️
I remember seeing when the street dealers waiting for their main dealer &when he come on by dead set like 10-15 ppl all run to his car fuck it was red hot
much love usos ❤
There were stories about Minh Tran ( dunno if I spelt that right) 5t boys getting up on the wall at yasmar boys home to break him out.
Tri Minh Tran ??
@@fairgrowfreestyles Dunno Just heard that name. And it was minda boys home now I think of it.
@FairGrowAustralia Tri was leader of the Ts. Ro Van Le started Madonna's mob around the mid 90s. Vu (that Tony speaks of) was a member of MM.
@@bugman5466 true, I had heard of that name and era, was fairly young when this was going on. I was born in Brisbane, I would associate with many people - but got along well with folks in Brisbane that had direct affiliation with 5T, was there also another strong crew called Blue Dragon?? That came after 5T dissolved and became less active ?? (I remember hearing about something like that) - some pretty “full on” memories which most people will never face in their lifetime - just blessed and thankful to still be here on this earth - much respect due to all the people that walk with honour and honesty.
It was minda

What about the Cabra snooker rooms
God bless you mate .
I know this guy .. hey been long time.... Malcolm Appleby
Guys a scared snitch, never once were you about it
Heard some pretty dark stories from a fella I knew from that area who used to come over for games of chess. Nice guy, one day he came over & wanted to chop my neighbour after an incident I had, it took some convincing to get him focused on playing a game
Gotta say it Jesus is real and he touches us all one day but its up to us to hear the call .....this is a beautiful testimony ❤️
