Met Allan when he first came out of prison despite what he has done in his past all I can say is what a gent. Top bloke

[@jameshoey69]

Hate it when I accidentally stab and kill someone with a knife i didn't know I had. Happens all the time that.

[@markluxon5044]

I was in Doncaster with Alan Lord. A really quiet polite guy. Didn't have anything in his cell not even a mattress. His mantra was if you've got nothing they cant take anything off you

I used to workout in his gym..Als gym..this guy was a gentleman and showed me the ropes in the gym and thus changed my life for ever for the better.. he never mentioned his past or played the hard man. This guy worked out HARD his warm ups were about 1000 reps and lasted an hour. Top bloke Shane his gym shut down

This interview gets better the longer it goes on!! 👍🏻

All the best Alan.Great story’s my favourite one so far James. No doubt you will keep a lot of young men from going through the system and turning there life’s around. Every town needs a Alan 👍👍

[@lizdobbs4588]

James your becoming a legend,keep bringing us legends

[@JamesEnglish]

Thanks liz xx

[@MrBoothyboy1988]

Still can’t even own up to his offence even after 32 years inside 😂 I used the same defence during a section 18 case involving a screwdriver but luckily the witnesses didn’t turn up so I didn’t have to try and sell them that story 😂

[@marklee9650]

Really enjoyed this one James what a story, glad to see Alan had turned his life around and wish him all the best with the book and the film. You are going from strength to strength and i am so pleased for you mate well deserved.

Love to see part two this guy is class 2020 only come across this from you mentioning him james . Best pod cast going keep it up brother . 27 dec 2020 its a james pod cast

[@alisonhilll4317]

To go through that and to come out with your mind intact is quite something , I don't think many would have the strength and determination to pull that off , it shows something about the human ability to survive , I know I couldn't , he is one tough man ! .

[@alisonhilll4317]

I get where you're coming from , but I am talking about his ability to be a stubborn bastard , that's what some people use to win wars , climb mountains , or lift cars off their kids , I know he,s a murderer , but if he had been given the right advice and pushed down the right path , he could have been something better , a lot better , we as a society had better look after our kids .

Alan, legend in your own mind....

[@vinnybrig569]

Moral of the story is, doing a robbery with a knife, even for warning purposes, can totally ruin peoples lives. And once we are at last 3rd of our lives, people that kill, have to carry the sin and guilt to our graves. Which must be soul destroying...

[@hvacgas5292]

[@denisefelton5207]

great interview!!! his story from 'fist' to 'pen' is authentic, raw and informative, paralleling conditions in US prisons throughout the same historical timeframes, from riots to reform.

Face up to it pal you knew exactly what you were doing and what you did. Until you at least hold your hands up and stop with the bullshit excuses how can you move on?

How one reckless moment of madness as a teen can ruin a life. He didn’t intend to kill anyone, but carrying a knife greatly increased the likelihood.

[@tommydahlqvist7575]

"Accidently" murders someone in a robbery, complains about "derogatory" words being aimed at him.

[@brianbadonde9039]

TOMMY Dahlqvist this is what makes me questions Lord’s repentance. Claims he had no idea how a knife slipped into his hand then into someones chest. Then also draws the race card immediately to pull at viewers heart strings to justify carrying a knife. Also was the jeweler not allowed to fight back or for his life? Lord makes out he was justified as he “got a bit of a hiding”. Sadly although Lord has no doubt had a very unloved upbringing that led to his criminality. The lack of remorse does make me think he may possibly be a sociopath. And English and Attwood have both failed to spot this.

[@yahafftalaff337]

Has to stick to the script. He's still on Life licence. He's done his Bird,Haard Bird at that. Lets see any haters doing the amount of Solitary confinement he' done and come out the other end as whole ad he is. The Block and Monster mansions etc do things to our heart,minds and very Souls beyond most peoples comprehension. God Bless Alan Lord! It's because of him and certain others that all these spoilt bastards in British jails atm don't have to shit in newspaper and hoy it out of the window,have tv in their pads and lots of other rights and priveleges. Ffs, we didn't even have a radio as schoolboys on I wing in Strangeways.
