Lots of people had a difficult time during the war, and most didn't resort to the things this man did. There's no glamour here.

@@stewartmackay ok cheers Stewart

definetly ,balls of steel

He weren't that smart. He stayed in Spain and got nicked. Spain and UK had plugged the extradition loop-hole in 1985 because of the amount of criminals hiding out there and the Costa del Sol being a well known criminal safe-haven and community for UK criminals. Freddie was nicked in 1989 and still to this day thinks it was illegal and that the Spanish government had no legal basis to extradite him because he never did anything wrong in Spain. He clearly doesn't understand what extradition means or how the political situation had changed between Spain and UK by the mid-80's. Extradition means the country you did a crime in can make a request for you to be extradited to face justice. Although the Spanish-UK extradition treaty wasn't formerly signed until 2001 due to the amount of rising drugs and violent crime caused by British criminals hiding out in Spain, there was a new understanding reached in 1985 between Spain and UK, that criminals could be extradited under the existing Interpol international arrest warrant system in place. So that's how the UK police were able to arrest and extradite Freddie and why Spain's police were happy to do the arresting and fly him back to UK.

can confirm: I am Tony Tucker's cat. I'm lucky I wasn't in that Range Rover, that night.

@@labrador-fx3fb yep he's made his own little story out of this for the simple reason to make money and nobody wants to listen to a foot soldier they want to hear it from one of the general's so that's what he done and it's working for him so it is what it is but the people who was around that time know the truth about him and his part he played and his part was just a doorman nothing more. So you was 1 of his cats and what was your role? I never met Tony and only met pat in prison but know people that new the them all.

Maybe maybe not...but il ask u this ..be honest....someone says too yiu...listen u.knew tucker and co right?u have a few snaps took with them?your word against the rest..AND THE MAIN 4 ARE SILENT..what ya say bernie m8?ching ching????

WELL DONE OLD SON

He should of been in Hammer House of Horrors the boat on him.

Lives in Chigwell see him alot

That's why he plays those roles so well i guess

He's been in lots more , Layer Cake was one

No way i never realised that was his son

Excitement, or maybe a breathing condition?

He used to come across differently, age has taken its toll. I'm honoured to have been in his company on numerous occasions however, true gentleman.

He doesn't talk too much or fast...you just listen too slowly.

Poverty is a magnet to a moral compass

@@oxycuntin2059 poverty isn't an excuse to be a terrible human.

Spot on word sound .Its disgusting so many on here are lauding this guy .He tortured and murdered countless people and to condone that is totally sick.

They were horrible wicked people he should’ve been on the end of a rope.

​@@marksmith7425 Freddie Foreman never tortured anybody for a start. And the "countless" people he killed were Ginger Marks and Frank Mitchell. That's 2 people. Marks was killed for shooting Foreman's brother with a shotgun, and Mitchell was killed for threatening to kill the Krays, who were Fred's partners. I don't think anybody other than teenage boys look up to these guys, but the rest of us are interested in the stories and history of it. World War 2 was a terrible thing, yet people are fascinated by it, from the weapons used to the battles won. But I don't think many people are lauding Hitler. This is no different.

Yeah - the vid should be called 'The Actually Likeable British Godfather'. ...... but not much click bait value in that....

Freddie always had that look !! Always had a look of menace about him !!

@@TheSqeela Haha

@@TheSqeela Fk clickbait its just a silly term.The British Godfather would of sufficed.

@@Ickie71 With the devil god being the god of the title Godfather.

Yes. A gentle man is always the sort of villienous thug who'd resort to shooting a man in the head rather than use straight talk and tell him to his face 'To beat it, that he is no longer wanted'.

@@MikeGreenwood51 Clearly you need to learn quite a lot if think a Michael Jackson song would work on a real gangster.

I could listen to Freddy all day!

I've always known who Fed was lived close to him throughout the sixties I never heard a bad word about him. He was respected by everyone straight or crooked

I think you just did!

I'm sure he enjoyed millions

The respect he has , is priceless 👌

Crime doesn’t pay but the hours are good

Doesnt have much of a heart. Put five bullets into Mitchell’s nut in the back of a van , for money from the twins. Hardly the kindest man on the planet.

@dogs aren't dangerous I was about to say the same thing

@dogs aren't dangerous Lets see where your morals are. An innocent child abuse victim is locked in solitary confinement with a media ban being tortured by child rapist politicians who you vote for. Tereasa May had Melanie Shaw locked in solitary confinement with a media ban 4 years ago. Melanie has had 2 fingers cut off by slamming her hand in a cell door and was force fed psychotic drugs to make her unfit for trial. Treasa Mays dad was in charge of the diocese of the south coast of England. He was also in charge of the biggest child rapist ring in the history of the English church and his priests were charged with thousands of crimes against children. Hubert Brasier was May's dads name, he committed suicide by crossing a dual carriageway in his Marina and smashing head on into a range rover coming the other way. The politicians that English people are voting for have been raping and murdering children in government run care homes since the 1960's. Melanie Shaw is being tortured in prison right now and just because May put a media ban you cannot convince me that's why people are too scared to talk about this. This country and English people are the biggest disgrace ever right now and have no morals or empathy or compassion or courage. Even if you say this is the first time you have heard of these facts my bet is you won't even respond let alone speak up for Melanie Shaw and the children of England. Everyone was crying for Steve Bray when he had his megaphone taken off him and he had over 40k likes on twitter, i posted about Melanie Shaw being locked up in solitary confinement for taking to the streets with a megaphone exposing the child rapists and child murderers running England right now on the same post, you can guess not one single like for Melanie. That's the truth about England right now.

Principled? Morals? You have to be joking. He was a thief and a murderer paint it any way you like.

I find these so fascinating...

Lol

SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT YOU CAN TELL WHEN REALITY IS BEING SPOKEN

Freddie is the real Don of Great Britain respected the length and breadth of these shores and beyond 👀🥊.

That’s not how they really disappeared….it was a “rumour” read Kate krays book “ultimate hard bastards” 👌🏼

@@michaelcostello1053 I've not read the book, but thanks for the recommendation. That's my point - it would have to be a rumour, because throwing a body (parts) into an aluminium smelter would have disastrous consequences. I'm certain that people involved in that life know plenty of ways of making someone disappear, without resorting to dangerous circus acts.

@@ianmacfarlane1241 in the book, find Freddie’s chapter (it’s like a interview in writing not so much a actual book) but read the last line….

Fred's boozer on lant Street, his club in Lambeth walk, his brothers flat in Canterbury House, Brandon Estate, his club in Balham I knew them all

Good man. I'm from London but have worked in the merchant navy with lots of Scottish blokes and really got on so well, I am so unhappy that we, Scottish and English don't get on so well. As far as I am concerned we very close and should just work together.

Nah DeMeo was a Pure Evil, they all was From the Gemini

Just started reading murder machine with Roy demeo and the Gemini crew.also the sins of my father.

He killed an innocent man with learning disabilities frank mitchell

He was on a Roy Demeo level? Really?

Spot on And he disrespected the twins on a TV show badmouthing them

Not forgetting in 2 separate tv interviews 1st one not long after the murders giving it all “my friends this and good bloke Tucker was” blah blah and then the 2nd I think was the Danny Dyer show where he’s like “they were nothing but bullies couldn’t stand them , got what they deserved”. More faces than Big Ben 🕰️

​@@heresjohnny1219 Still alive though.

@@ronm9101 Most gansters do not show a lot of respect for peodophiles or nonces. Even in prisons the molesters get segregated wards or cells. So I guess you stand with only a few if you support their molestering rapeophilia buggery crimes. And what do you say about the young male victims? They shouldn't have had chocolate bums?

@@MikeGreenwood51 you have lost me Don't know what you are on about

There's an interview on KZfaq with Freddie where he mentions the film and the resemblance. I can't remember which video it is though.

I thought that when I first saw the film or it could have been Harry Heyworth

"honourableness" great word

That’s what is terrifying about him. He doesn’t appear like a crazy eyed maniac. Comes across like a respectable, working class bloke but he would murder you if you crossed him badly enough. That’s what’s terrifying.

Yep the real Glasgow godfather ,some keep there head low .others ponderosa keep it high but talk to the police .

I suppose it is like Blackpool Rock and Brighton Rock. Both sweet but inside the words are different.

You'd need a very long nail to do that so I don't believe that was something that he used to do.

But he'd buy you a drink afterwards and send your mum flowers 😅

Hard times create tough men
