BARTLEY GORMAN king of the gypsie interview 80's

This went out live on itv news my uncle bartley says you can fetch a horse that will beat us but ya cant fetch a man!!! After he's brother looses a horse race

[@786boxer]

top guy. he had principles and morals. never lost his culture and beliefs. respect

[@benfearn702]

Seemed like a gentleman, I noticed his manner was calm and respectful not full of foul language, read his book and liked the insite to travellers lives.

[@jasonkane872]

A real tough man,and a gentleman..

[@tombambrough9462]

I have read Bartley Gorman's book King of the Gypsies six or seven times, such a good book and he seems like such a genuine character, obviously a very good fighter as well, I wish there was some footage of his fights. True legend. RIP

[@joeedwards3471]

Absolutely a legend king of all men

[@Crazylady-e5w]

God bless Bartley a scholar and a Gent

[@jamielindsay6897]

I watched a John Fury documentary on , the late great Bartley an John had a tear 😢 in his eye talking about a great man I'm go na read 📚 his book I'm interested in this 👍 I wish I could find more footage of Bartley Gorman

[@lumo7461]

Along with Dan Rooney, 1 of the best gypsy fighters ever.

[@gavrelton6211]

I think Bartley would have been to much for Dan. Dan was as game as they come he had a good fight against Aney McGinley. Bartley even told Ned Rooney that he would KO Dan & Aney 😮

[@nobuckshot]

Shane Meadows owns the rights to a movie but its been tied up in production for a number of years. Hopefully they get round to making it soon.

[@ganjaman12123]

He speaks with confidence you can tell he is a hard man??? So do these people running business but they can not fight, it is nothing to do with how people look or speak mate. Bartley was a true gent from an era which everybody had morals and everybody would settle there differences with their fists rather than going to the police.Just remember don't judge a book by it's cover, on this occasion tho you were right to do so!

[@petertunny]

What a guy..Wish there was more footage of him

[@rayhoughton8046]

There ain't any cos he never fought anyone

[@GarY-Dela-HoYa]

Legend 👏👏👏

[@ukfirebird]

i read his book a few years ago, seemed like a true gentleman, great shame there's no footage of him fighting.

[@smokedog2185]

What was the book called ?

[@rastarockstevie]

@@smokedog2185It's called "King of the gypsies"!

[@Leodisdude]

A bit like John Fury. None of him either. How much is fantasy I wonder?

[@SuperMillwall]

If Roberto Duran was known as the "Hands of Stone" Bartley Gorman's hands were "Hammer Anvils"

I never knew Bartley but no alot who did in Uttoxeter infact i had a macdonalds from the 1 next 2 his house on a50 this morning! They all say he was a top man who was friends with anyone and come on how many people would offer any gypsy 2 fight them on national telly?

It's definitely a member of the Fury clan, but Tysons mother is a daughter of one of the well-known Burton legends. The Gormans are related to the Fury side of the family from what I've read.
