Moderators PowerButchi Posted December 19, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 19, 2017 True. The whole Paul Sykes episode was ace. Â Â As was the original Paul Sykes documentary (which is where my avatar comes from). Such a strange and interesting character. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 19, 2017 World Cup Heroes and Villains was a cracking one-off during the 94 World Cup as well. Exactly the same format as In Bed With Medinner, worked a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a strange and interesting character. Â That is a classic documentary and the guy in your avatar has probably the greatest desk ever created. A search of Paul Sykes and boxrec is well worth a look. Theres been a number of threads on him over the years as he was a handy boxer. That forum also brings out the old timers with crazy stories. He was a horrible prison rapist preying on the young lads by all accounts. Both his sons he beats the fuck out off are now lifers in prison for murder. He spent his last years as a homeless drunk in Wakefield where he was set on fire by some youths for a laugh at one point. Karma came calling on him for being such an evil twat when young.

Go back and do that again, and this time make look like you actually want to be here!" Cracking story. Like others I’d heard he was a nob but didn’t know of any specifics. He sounds like a right arrogant prick. Regarding Sykes, I posted a while ago that he’s probably stated one of my favourite ever quotes: “Remember what the conservative party announced.. spending 216 billion pounds on widening the motorways, to deal with the increase in traffic in the year 2025... petrol runs out in 2019, who they kidding?.. they're building them for skateboards".

Hugh Thesz Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Butch,  I have always wanted to ask this about your avatar - why Dennis Flint; especially considering what he was fond out for? The meeting with him in the Paul Sykes documentary with that fucking desk is truly a thing of beauty.

Really Big Shoe Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Paul Sykes had an autobiography out which I believe got a re-release on Paperback and kindle called "Sweet Agony" and there is one about him called "Unfinished Agony" which is almost sold out.

Mainly because of his desk and general look. Like something off Jason King. I dread to ask but what was Dennis Flint found out for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Mountevans Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 There is "Unfinished Agony" & the sequel which  i am currently reading called "Further Agony". Great books, but i am finding it tough reading about a truly horrible person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Thesz Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Sorry Butch. Fuck all as it turns out. Jealous rumours posted that are now deleted on a boxing site which had links to a case with someone of the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
