Henry francis comes across goodman on podcast, but I was in belle view pub in merthyr when malcolm price was called in because of Henry and two his aquintances bit lary, and henry shut the fuvk up his mates yapped pricey sparked them and threw henry through the door onto mainstreet, henry shit himself, fact, he say he don't know malcolm price he wouldn't say that if the man was alive , every else in wales knew him, lenny McLean knew him , he fought and beat best men who wanted to fight on England, travelled Gloucester Worcester places full of fighting travelled men and henry never heard of him lol, bollocks ,pricey made him shjt it fact, pricey was destructive force on streets, this fool be eaten alive, plus Dan Rooney did aney mcginley, shows how bad henry is

@@jonathanwhite4750 to be honest, I don’t think he’s telling lies I have heard of a lot of fighting men myself never heard of Malcolm Price. I have asked a few about him don’t know him.

I’m not going to respond to anyone. However, I can confirm that I trained Henry Frances for his last fight, which was scheduled in June. He trained alongside two of my toughest pro fighters, and the training was hard and intense. At 61 years old, Henry moved and sparred like a young, seasoned pro. It was amazing to witness how tough and agile he was! He was fighting for his honor and his family. Henry is a good man. In life, you have your ups and downs, but I have great respect for the traveling community, where I’ve met many of the heads of the main families-honorable men like Henry. There’s no need for any negative comments. There’s enough of that nonsense in the world. Well done, Dodge, on an excellent interview with Henry! Best, Yaqub

[@gb5584]

From what I've heard tommy carril is a self praised hardman and when fighting men put it on him he doesn't want to know. He's known for being a terrible bully with old men, but henry fracis ain't your average OAP😄👊🤜

[@David-u9s3o]

Malcolm Price destroyed him mate now he's saying he never heard of him 😂

[@taiwannumberone888]

Dodges podcast is just a pleasure to watch. The quality is brilliant, he doesn’t interrupt or try to put his point across, it’s just a nice soft flow. 🎉

[@DodgeWoodall]

Kind words mate and glad you enjoyed ⭐️

[@pmin5554]

Except interrupt to ask a question that has already been answered before 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m only 23 mins in and he’s done it a few times already

[@pmin5554]

John Fury’s a gentleman is he? He’s a scumbag eye gouging bully. Did you not see him headbutt the smallest guy he could find before Tyson fought Usyk?

[@calishackseeds230]

Never heard of this bloke before the podcast but love stuff like this, it sends me down the rabbit hole googling everyone 🤣. Great pod Dodge, love unexpected stuff like this, imagine the stories people still have to tell 🔥.

[@bigsmoke5219]

Wow, how did you manage to pull this off? I've been wanting to hear more about Henry ever since I read about him in Bartley's book years ago. Really looking forward to this!

[@samjohnson.m.u.f.c]

One of my favourite books read it numerous times ❤

[@SistersForever-es4hc]

Yeah that name rang a bell straight away from the book

[@TheDreamer1980]

Same as and hes completely different to how I imagined...he doesn't even sound or look like a lot of gypsies do, if I didn't see the title I would just assume he's a hard bloke from the north , weirdly enough he looked very old for his age in the pic in bartleys book but he looks decent for his age here especially for the hard life he's had, you can hear little glimpses of the stutter Bartley talked about too... Also didn't think he would of been on a podcast or possibly even still alive

Bringing back memories of first reading KOTG when it was first released. I remember him saying Henry was noted for his headbutting prowess, and that he had a stammer...which you only catch slightly now and then here so far (15mins in I am) great guest and a solid man even now ..forgot he was connected to my area Newcastle

He's 52 now but I swear he looked about 50 in that photo in Bartley book!

I have wanted something like this for years now! Read Bartley Gorman's book and was fascinated by Henry Francis. Then read the book Street Fighters in which there is a chapter on Henry Francis and read/heard so much about him and Jimmy Stockings. Always wandered how a man everyone seems to know was such a mysterious character. Brilliant podcast!

[@PeterBardon-i7l]

Think of the words that you hear from a true pavee. The truth about real fights are not less than 20.000. Can you name people who bart lost too but it never gets in any book? Rooney's from Croydon were game to fight anyone

Another quality podcast Dodge. I had cousins in Nottingham, my mams eldest sister, my Aunt Annie married a Belfast man, Bob Bradley a real gentleman. Annie being from Liverpool you can imagine their children. They had a son Alex (Sandy) Bradley who was a real character. I spent every six weeks holiday as a child in Nottingham and loved the place. I'm almost certain Henry was mates with Alex. Sadly Alex took his own life but left so many happy memories I still cherish . Thanks for bringing back memories old, Henry and so glad to hear that your a man of faith, enjoy the rest of your life, your a good man!

I really enjoyed this interview and, whilst watching, I wondered, because of where Henry is from and the circles he moved in, whether he knew my pal Ady Fidler, an ex boxer, doorman who had his own security firm. I spoke with Ady and told him I'd watched this video. Ady said " Yeah, I know Henry and I knew this brother ( God rest his soul ) A proper gentleman is Henry. I have a lot of respect for him " ... I know quite a few of the people Henry mentioned. If big Ady says Henry is a top man, that is good enough for me.

[@DNortRyan]

Very interesting. He’s a gent. In Ireland years ago, probably UK also, we had faction fights, the days the blackthorn we called it, Ryan’s and Dwyers vs Coffeys and whoever else. Some real tear ups…stick fighting and bare knuckle, with the blackthorn sticks. There was a very famous one in Kerry on a beach in about 1828, the Lanes vs the McCartheys or something, a few lads were killed. These weren’t traveller fights, but there were probably some traveler's involved, people in those days more or less lived the same way anyway.

[@KEEPITREAL11]
