Freddie just keeps on ticking, glad to see he is still with us 🙏🏾

[@steverutland9267]

Happy 92nd birthday Freddie ❤

[@stevendone5493]

Freddie Foreman was the man ! Also anyone doubting Dave Courtney then if Freddie Foreman thought he was an asshole he wouldn’t be getting interviewed by him . Freddie Foreman was main man and well respected. Unlike Krays who were just taxmen and bullies and didn’t do any villainy themselves . Freddie Foreman was top man as was Charlie Richardson too . Both gentlemen but you don’t take liberties with them .

[@markrowlands9547]

My Late Mum n Dad were Publicans in London and My old Man Always spoke Well of Freddie,If there was a Genuine Cause. That Gentleman Frederick Foreman WAS There whatever the Inconvenience or Cost . Old School. Bless His Heart and Memory ❤❤❤❤

[@ChrisWilson-te3tp]

Not heard much on Mr Foreman recently hope he's in good health & is doing alright ❤👍

Freddie Foreman. A true living old school legend, I’m from that manner and look up and respect men like Freddie. Great watch interview. 👍🏻

[@RossNaylor-nh5uv]

Freddie is a good man he only did what he had to do to provide for his family and if someone was dumb enough to get in his way that's their problem compared to most villians Freddie is a gentleman until you upset him

[@Theoriginalbigbrillo]

@@IceColdtvx Agreed

Freddie is and was a proper mobster who never went for regular folk.

Could listen to Freddie all day, the last real Gangster standing. Gave no fux and took no 💩 off anyone. What a life and what a Geezer, there'll never be another like him. Nuff Respect

[@markrowlands9547]

You cannot help but Love Freddie. The Flying Bombs , " Doodle Bugs " as MY Grandparents called them. No one even in this present day likes the pain and suffering that any war brings . But it's still nice even at the Age I'm at "67" to hear the voice of The Great British Spirit. Quality!!!

[@deanmartin9700]

I'm one of the very few people who can positively say: none of my family (including my "nan") ever met the Krays. Therefore we as a family, and I as their spokesperson cannot claim with any certainty that they were "polite, proper lovely gentlemen". I'm sorry to be the one who tells you all, but it's true.

[@jeffweaseldinky1463]

You mean to say not even your uncle drove them about? Wtf

[@RichardSmith-cj2hj]

You mean... your nan's bruvver, whose whose mate had a mum and dad who had a shop in th Mile End Rd... your saying neither of us met th Krays😊😅😂....

[@shaunteasdale6613]

Well that’s not correct, I know your grandad and he often used to recount stories of them back in the day

[@cheeseanonionsnow9761]

See his eyes sparkle when he started chatting about his big security job.

[@kenny7762]

What a lovely man (not in a gay way) I didn't want this program to end. The passion he speaks with, the cricket bags for instance telling us about the quality of it, I know it was stuffed with money is a bonus. I've heard of Mr Foreman but I don't know why I've never listened to his stories. I've had to pause it so it lasts longer. Quality, brilliant man.

[@peterk-s3931]

rip dave!!!! what a slice of history

[@ClintWalker-p9c]

Freddie, what a living legend

Fred Foreman said my late grandfather Alexander Thomson was a man of honour . Fred's autobiography answered a family mystery in regards to my beloved grandfather. Thank you Fred , god bless

You can hear him getting annoyed with himself for forgetting things . Considering his age and lifestyle he is incredibly sharp

[@Theoriginalbigbrillo]

A Dwarf comes up to me and says, "Im not Happy!" So Fred replies, "So which one are you then?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wormsnake1]

Foreman was a product of his back ground and times. I think I he only had it in for other rogues, not you’re average Joe. Given the cards he was dealt it’s a miracle he survived the era he was raised in. I think time softens the heart and I’m glad he seems to have mellowed and has perspective with age.x

[@Facu1ty1855]

I used to see Frankie Fraser in Bermondsey and Walworth Road regularly. If you said hello, he'd always stop and take the time for a chat. Was a nice enough gentleman considering his gangster past.

love Fred....true legend of british history

[@christopherko475]

It’s cruel, stupid and naive of people to say that gangsters are a danger to people when they can be the nice people who had a history of a dysfunctional past behind them. I’ve done time and many of the gang members I’ve met in my life till now are very nice even humble and respectful towards those whom they meet. And I learnt from them that all of them have legitimate businesses alongside the shady ones which they do run, of course. One must never judge an individual by the cover but know the man within. What people don’t realize is that anyone can become a gangster or made man of a mob because of the circumstances of which they faced. Once you get to know them to a personal level, they’re just like us. Especially when I’d like to express my support their views of never hurting children or woman. For the record, they have thought me how to defend myself as well as the method I use for my art pieces using ballpoint pens to great success when they never encouraged violence. Great man these people. They even struck up a relationship with me because I was the only French guy in during that time and they always asked the guards if I could practice with them. As they had properties in France as they were both British. They even extended their an invitation to come seek them out if I do return to France.
