I must say I come from a different world to all this, but years back I bumped into him in a pub, I spun round said I'm sorry mate he said no problem my friend I got speaking too him never have I met more of a old school gentleman in my life, absolute true gentleman!!

You can see from his eyes that he was one mad bastard who was game at any age.

How polite he is should be nominated for hearts of gold😅

Can't help feeling like I want to give him a glass of water.

Been enjoying these uploads the last few weeks. Wld love to hear all the old stuff that was left in the editing room

I knew Roy. He was nuttier than a fruitcake and harder than the Times Crossword. Proper gentleman. God bless.

Thanks for the up load.

Seems a really great guy . Could listen to his stories all day .

Christ that was great well done.

Great to listen too. His manner when he tells his stories is brilliant. RIP Roy

Guilty pleasure. I love a good torrid tale. Be blessed, Roy!

He's an unbelievably ferocious looking man.

He never blinked once. Fkn great character 👍✊🏼

It’s obvious you he dementia was quite rampant then. Even the interviewer is showing mercy and allowing him the easy way out of most of the ‘questions’.

Norman Wisdom meets Frankenstein

You can tell in his eyes that he's fair but do never cross him

While he may have excuses you got to give it to Shaw beating a much younger man in Lenny McLean and the fact that he was a heavyweight when Shaw was a natural middleweight. Imagine how the fights would of gone if they were both the same age.

Roy was in his 40's and Lenny late 20's. Would have been interesting to see what would have happened if they were both late 20's. Roy was past his peak whereas Lenny was at his peak. 2 very tough men with a lot of heart.

These guys were no technicians but my God they were hard bastards and you wouldn't mess with them not even at this age, last of the real tough guys

When I was just a kid 15 y old my neighbour, kinda took me under his wing. He was from the East End of London. He would talk about these guys and how he drove a "Lorry" and as he said doing "doggie business". He always drove jaguars and had lot of spare cash. In those days it was rare. He was a great bloke and always looked out for me. I came from a really poor family, my mother, bless her was single with four kids.

The way roy comes across when he talks seems like a genuine bloke who you would give your last penny to.

Man has mad eyes …. He looked like he was looking through the interviewer!!!! He was supposed to have far superior boxing skills than Lenny McLean who had the power and was completely mental!!!

Roy Shaw was a Legend the Real deal I would see him running in Epping forest with his Dogs even in his later Years Proper Gent But not to be crossed , Yea fearless MAN. RIP ROY..... Mans Man..

from what ive read lenny was a bully and roy was a career criminal they were different characters but i would imagine roy was a far more dangerous man than lenny

This man was an extremely serious individual in his day 👊🏼👊🏼💥💥☝🏼☝🏼

Roy was tough guy, a real tough guy. As for the Lenny thing, he was beaten twice, that brutal KO knocked him senseless, was one of the most brutal Knockouts I’ve ever seen, he was out on his feet, took about 5-6 heavy punches while he was collapsing… Regardless, Roy was a seriously hard bastard, nobody else would’ve lasted as long he did. He had that I’ll never quit attitude, guys like this you hate to fight, no matter how many times you hit them they get back up and av another go!… Like pit bulls, loveable and caring, no fear wouldn’t back down from anything. Rip with respect

I've seen two fights from Lenny and Roy but I can't find the one where Roy wins ?

What a really down to earth man. Old school is the best way. I remember also having to fight my way through life with the old fisty cuffs. Im too old now but those experiences toughened me up a bit. Everything these days seems to be more in the public domain now because more people are recording on their devices and sharing on social media. R.I.P Sir Roy. Im sure you will have met up with big Lenny on the other side.

Not sure if the camera is close enough

Hiding behind the dustbin caught in the headlights of the police car😁 Must have been a comical scene

Absolute warrior

That’s smashin that Roy gave cliff fields his due he lived in my town all his life it was a shame how he ended up in his prime he was a monster.

Love these Roy Shaw videos Liam. Very very tough man no doubt about it. So was Lenny. Roy doesn't come across as a liar and id never call him one.. But I can't see how a few tablets could be the reasons to both his Lenny losses. I've heard loads of times from various people Cliff Fields knocked Lenny out.. Cliff was from Dunstable just up the road from me in Luton. I think he became an alcoholic drinking on park benches taking a beating now and again by louts taking advantage of his poor health. I don't know if he's still alive.. Poor man

I love Roy Shaw I actually worked for a guy who was involved with these guys staunch proper men unlike most of todays snow flakes

Norman Wisdom's handy brother.

Brilliant vid Liam!

Just looking at this man, you can tell he's hard as f#$k...he just ozzzzzzes man

6:26 Here in the UK, every Christmas, we open a few Elf shops where you can buy costumes and stuff. Big favourite of Roy's.

Roy was at my mums wedding, a good friend of my grandads. When you talk about hard bastards he is the hardest of them all.

Does Anyone Remember the Green Man n Still??? A lot of toe to toe was arranged in there . My Mum n Dad run it while under training as Licencees .

Those eyes, constantly on the look out for the next big tear up.

Met Roy Shaw years ago working in Tescos cant believe for a small guy he had so many wins

What a hard old school dude they definitely dont make em like this anymore

They missed tht gluxtad,whts the story with him was he set up or is he a bad type? Ive read his book

Those eyes and the tight skin on the face say it all - hard as nails. Really like listening to Roy Shaw and have done for years. I also love listening to Lenny McClean. They were both very dangerous and serious men and sadly missed.

Easy to talk about a game man, but not sure if you are fìt enough to be around men like Roy. Not only is it disrespectful but he had heart mate and i honestly say not many of you who are talking about would be on your feet if you had the balls to talk like that around him.!!RIP Roy.

Respect Roy . Very tough proper man . Gentlemen 💯

🍻 how couldn't ya raise yr glasses one of man's era !....

Love this mans stories ✋️

wasn't a grass, or a bully! top bloke in my eyes!

Not the full shilling

This guy doesn’t blink.

If Will Ferrel had moved to england instead :'D

Hardest man about and a true gentleman

I have met Shaw and McLean. I became friendly with Lenny when he worked the doors. He was a real gentleman and always took time to talk to me and tell me stories of his past. He was a real character. I met Shaw a few times at unlicensed fights, I found him quite wooden to be honest, always seemed like he was out of it, either on meds, drugs or just punch drunk. Out of the two I much preferred Lenny. He always gave me good advice, my favourite quote from him was "never mistake kindness for weakness"

Old Roy nice lad he looks double menacing but some times he reminds me of norman wisdom

My mates dad was very good friends with Roy and he said he was so worked up for the first fight he punched 3 people out on the way to the ring! 🤣

Roy pretty boy Shaw was one of the greatest fighting men to come out of the UK!

I would love to know who that bouncer was in southend! Lucky escape!

Even with a failing memory, still very selective of what he admits to. Reminds me of Norman Wisdom. Of course, having witnessed the rather threadbare vido of McLean using Roy's face like a punch bag, is it any wonder he has memory issues. Of course, McLean's punches 'didn't hurt', so Roy says, it just looked like it from where I was sat.

Norman wisdom put on a bit of weight in his golden years

Because he come back bigger faster stronger

Bartley German wouldnt have these guys hold his coat .....offered both Shaw & McLean & they didn't want to know ....Gorman was the king in those days ,absolute gentleman with unbelievable fighting skills

Liam who is the scariest individual u a have interviewed

What a legend

I think you'd want to be on the right side of Mr Shaw. The world was built on these type.

Just heard the bouncer story frin one of the bouncers. I like roy, but have to admit the bouncer sounded a lot more truthful. Got to admit id love to have aeen the fights with these old school men and the bouncers. Roy was a wild, wild man. Most certainly insane.

Either he's punch drunk or was on some serious meds. Those eyes.... he's wired.

I’m from the East End and Iv met some tasty bods in my time but that generation n time they were made different seriously. So many really hard hard warriors some you have probably never heard of come from our small little pocket of London. I say to the young ones who think they are hard n I advise some of them that when your about n you see some old grandads who you think nothing of just be mindful because if you upset one of these they will take you apart if they get hold of ya. Different Generation can you imagine what their life was like for them to have become such a menacing hard case 😳

I’ve seen the third fight (I think) in YT and I’m glad he turned Roy’s challenge down. Roy despite his pride could have got seriously hurt

Lenny McLean was the governor ....

Power of the punch.

Men like Shaw can't accept losing a fight.

He was a scary looking fella even then 😮

Like tyson said.. A man will never admit he just got beat.. Big toes.. Heavy suits and ginsing.. You got beat lad

I want what he's on.out of it 🤣🤣🤣

Roy Shaw absolute gent

He flew off the ring

Used to know of this man. Wouldn't say boo to a goose, until....

He never blinks ?

Norman Wisdom on the gear.

He just couldn't admit lenny beat him twice

I like Roy Shaw seemed a decent man

Was Roy related to Frank Spencer ooh betty

Poor old Roy's ego wouldn't let him admit defeat,his childhood probably didn't help though,maybe the ginseng didn't either. Was one of the toughest guys ever in his height and weight category.

When he said yeah but i took vitamin E for the rematch i tuned out mentally, the guy was a nob.

Zzzzz ok roy.. You took some absolutely solid punches.. But have some pride and admit u got annihilation

Love Roy to bits.......but! I cant help imagining Norman Wisdom is infact a boil washed Roy! 🤔

I have that facial expression when I have tight underpants on

Yes. Ginseng and Vit E. That’s the problem.

Looks like something off “V”.

Lol. He beats Lenny up on the first meeting. Then, Lenny gets wise to his shit and smacks the fuck out of him the next two times they meet, and Roy blames the Ginseng and the vitamin E tabs!

High as a kite.

in the two rematches , why cant he just admit he got beat, ginsing and vitamen e, come on, take it on the chin, i boxed crolla in the amatuers, i admit i got beat fair n square, i could blame it on having a rest for 16 yrs before i got my licence back and smoking role ups a week before the fight, but i dont the best man won.

Excuses excuses

Interesting choice of camera angle. 'The Dutch angle'

Shaw was the man Lenny was the man there is nothing other wise. They the fighters.

Roy shaw a good man

Lenny battered him.. 3rd fight maybe no proof but 2 of the fights he got absolutely battered

Crazy eyes
