Some extremely questionable content from Freddie Starr. Ali didn't seem to mind. I was unsure whether to post. Not condoning or approving it, just achiving it.

Boy that man really got Ali’s attention more then anybody. What a unique character and free personality. Simply amazing and breathtaking to watch him.

Genius. Original and very clever on the comedic front. People were truly frightened of Freddie!

@martinmuldoon603 2 жыл бұрын

I haven't watched Freddie in years, he was a class act, he could even make Muhammad Ali nervous he moved and thought so fast. This was a class show 2 greats together on the one show.

A very precious and special man indeed! I miss him too as if ever I’d get home really stressed,Freddie could cheer me up instantly! Such a talented man who was unjustly marked as a nasty man ,involved in the yew tree investigation!..it ruined his life and career and he died all alone ! Treated awfully…but he will never be forgotten….a pure legend! Rest in Peace Freddie..loved always. X

Not many people know Freddy had a bad speech impediment he had to struggle with it every day For me Freddie the best comedian of all time also a great singer. Very talented man. Always made my Mum and Dad laugh as did me and my two sons few generations all laughing. Never see the likes again and yes was treated disgracefully re media and press even when latter two had no evidence off wrong doing

Commenting as I'm watching this for the first time. Ali!- my Irish gran jokingly called him ' my 'hubby darlin' and I'm kicking 70- was the humblest man contrasting with him self calling himself 'the greatest'. No one watching the clip of his acting as the black farmer's spokesman would come away thinking that was Ali. He was an actor! 😎 Can't wait to see him meet Freddy Starr shortly mhhh, nhhhh!

Met Freddie in Portsmouth in late 70’s when my youngest brother did boxing. Freddie showed up out the blue. Safe to say no one was interested in boxing that night 😅 and my eldest brother had a picture taken with Ali when he came to England in the middle 70’s. My brother was 4 so Ali picked him up and the news paper people took the photo. Beautiful memories of these men. May all 3 RIP.

@Gerard_2024 5 ай бұрын

I agree with you. And it was even better in the early and mid 70s. Used to joyfully spend Saturday nights in front of the box growing up as a teenager. A very special era. Match of the Day around 9.30, then Parky, and a good film on BBC2 as soon as Parky was over (not to mention all the good programmes from about 6.30 until the 9.00 news). I used to live for Saturday night TV in the 70s. A golden age for the BBC.

He talks like he's a dozen beers deep. Poor bloke didn't realise it at the time but his speech was already slowing down and he mumbled some of his words. He's still thinking sharp but it doesn't translate to his mouth fast enough.

Sean, you are a product of the current times. If you had really heard what Freddie said and the context in which the black community had endowed him with that label as a term of endearment hence his recounting. Learn context and take your finger off the trigger buddy.

Don't get why us gammons get slated for using that word but it's ok for the Black's to do so. Eg: a lot of rappers use it.
