When 'VIOLENT' Bikers Challenge FEARED Bouncers | Gangland Australia

Underbelly series was brilliant. I worked on the doors the in Kings Cross and Bondi for several months just after all that madness, and it was still a little crazy. Bikers and Lebanese were the main issues, but the general hassle was with the Brit tourists (like myself, though i chose to work instead of make a tit of myself). Worked Kings Cross Hotel/Buddah's Bar, and Hotel Bondi. Both for RSM Security. Great times.

[@johnconey8489]

I was backpacking in 89 and ended up in a hostel on the main drag in the Cross. After that, me and another three POMs got an flat in Potts Point. Two of the lads from Sheffield got a bar job at a House music club called the Zigerate (something like that). We had the best time over those few months. Yes the Cross was a bit grim at times and you had to be street wise to wander its streets in the early morning, but if you did not go looking for trouble, then most of the time you would be OK. Some great memories.....

Bikie Gangs have been around in big numbers for 40 years in Australia. I met John Ibrahim briefly in a Nightclub business deal, he was a Gentleman and spoke respectfully and was a pleasure to do business with.

[@johnanthonycafe2993]

I used to work in King’s Cross. As night came a blanket of sordidness and violence would engulf it. People called it Night Life.

[@jmw-qt2ih]

I visited Sydney 6 years ago and stayed at Potts Point, the area is right next to Kings X and it was very smart as was Kings X itself. Dont know what it was like but it was was very quiet when we were there and have seen much rowdier places in the UK. I presume the authorities have clamped down there as the security was much stricter than anywhere here.

[@kenlee-97]

Yep -allroneddownand all the stuff like violence being dished out to drunks and prostitutes standing around and "watchers"and "pimps"watching from the distance -was all but finished by about 2017-ish...😢 Never in a million years dis weaver omgine the "Cross"to be anything wleby full of sin...

[@ScottAce-Macgyver]

What an amazing story 👍💯

[@NevilleMaroon]

Great video………impressive format & very informative. From someone who was there for most of the events that were documented, I can tell this video is almost 100% spot on. One update that needs to be mentioned though, is Sam Ibrahim’s deportation was overturned before finalising so he never left Australia (he was held in immigration detention for a very long time) so he still lives in Australia (which is really his home anyway). And in my opinion that is proper justice & how it should be, because had Sam, John & their crew not stood up to the bikies & won, paving the way for the future & allowing Kings Cross & the whole of Sydney to become a proper party capital of the world for the following 2 decades, who knows how bad, much more dangerous & ugly it could have been if the original bikies took over the Sydney nightlife. Anyway, it doesn’t matter now days as the government, along with the pandemic put an end to Sydney’s entertainment nightlife for good.
