A giant of a man. I came across Chris in the mid 90s where he’d had a couple of interviews on main stream media. I can remember him talking about his conversion in a cell when he saw the devil of his own making in the mirror. All the evil he’d done up to that point. That was the catalyst for change and how different he’s turned out. So powerful and inspiring. Thanks James.

Well done James English! I've been watching lots of these whilst being furloughed. This interview in particular is spectacular and brought a tear to my eye. What an incredible interview. I'm not normally into listening to an ex- gangster harping on about the good old days anymore I've heard and read enough about them, but this was totally different. I have the utmost respect for Chris, an absolute gentleman I felt humbled. This will stay with me And well done, James. Great work.

Really enjoyed this interview! Chris is a stand up gent, you can tell he doesn’t think much of the Krays. I found it very poignant as to how he described not snitching, it isn’t about the other people, it’s about your character and maintaining the value of your word, some lessons that our generation today would do well to take away. Thanks very much both of you.

He wasn't very well liked back in the day, he often tried using the Krays names in jail in the early days to get his respect, and it backfired on him on at least on ocassion that I heard of. And he lied about it in his book.. saying he deliberately through his tea on someone, which was a lie. He apollogised to Doughie Parks saying how it was an accident. Doughie Parks was gunna rip him to pieces, but he shit himself apologising and so was let off.. But then told it like he was the big one in his book after in reality he shit himself. The guy was a mug.

Best interview I have ever seen from an ex gangster who turned his life around. This man was and is the real deal. He tells the truth with humility and explains why he became what he did, both as a gangster and a reformed man...from the Kray twins to jail to dylan and pink Floyd and eventually to the bible.... a stand up man in both lives he lived, very inspirational .

Absolutely!

[@LiamTaaffe]

I've watched an endless amount of videos on Chris and he's such an inspiring and capturing character. Regardless of his past, he has managed to carve a career in helping others and the success of his work is worthy of an OBE. For an 80 yr old man he really is so sharp and articulate, I only wish he got more publicity for devoting his life to help others.

He wasn’t very popular in the underworld he had a reputation of being a big mouth. He’s helping others now that’s a good thing but all in all he must’ve cost the country and bleeding fortune keeping him in jail.

Great interview. This chap done his time as honourable as he could be. Had plenty of time to reflect on his previous life and completley turned his life around . An absolute inspiration 💪💪

[@colinhutchings1543]

I have no reason to disrespect Chris but I don't believe he had the bottle to kill anyone. Only 30 minutes before, he was sat on the stairs crying & (in his own words) in another interview, he said he felt a coward when Reggie pulled the gun out. I think like just like most of the firm, he was petrified being in their company, as Freddie Foreman stated, they were a becoming a danger to everyone. But at the end of the day Chris was & still is an honourable man, he didn't grass & he did his time like a man & he has nothing to be ashamed of, even if he was a coward, after all Ronnie Kray had recently killed a man in public. Coupled with the tales of other murders ! I wish him the best, he's a great man & a great father.
