BARTLEY GORMAN the never forgoten ledgend

[blutobelushi]

10 years ago the mighty man of valour as holy writ calls men like him ... left this world.may he rest in peace.he was the greatest.

[blutobelushi]

rest in peace Bartley Gorman. he was as tough a man to ever walk this planet.a true hard man.and a gentleman.he passed away far too soon.

[GLH03]

just not enough footage of the man. He lived in best era, the hardest era, like Ali during his rein, you only need to look at the HW division now to see this. Men just arent made like this anymore...FACT.

[7676461]

i would love to see a better biography film of this huge huge man.. pure iron

[miketysoncantpunch]

was Mr Gorman better then Paddy Doherty 

[sonnyboy167]

@miketysoncantpunch

Definately..no question, where Paddy was a good fighter and leader of his clan Bartley was king of the gypsies purely through fighting, his autobiography tells it how it is in detail; and for all the cunts talking names bare knuckle is a throw back sport and comparing it to other fighting sports is fuckin stupid, you wouldnt compare golf to football cos there's a ball involved u thick fucks.

[miketysoncantpunch]

@sonnyboy167 guy richie should do a film on mr bartley

[cryptozoology100]

His book is excellent, and he comes across as a man of honour, I would love to have seen him fight.

[keefy99999]

a real man rest in peace big guy

[royster007]

Jerry.

Is there any footage of Mr Gorman fighting that i can buy ?

[BigDaddyHeavyweight]

Cheers for this "ancient warrior"! And in the background the Dubliners are intonating: "The wild Rover".

Great stuff!

[msg2urudy]

absolute top bloke PROPER man

[darktim99]

the glory of it would be amazin. but the rawness of it. its reral life. think about it. most people take the piss out of gypsys. but could they live like bartley?

[sonicrules666]

Just finished his book, a one off, a truly unique man, one of the hardest people to ever walk these isles I have no doubt. A great man who stood up for what he believed in, he feared no man, long live the king!!!

[KetsuekiHana]

@swettybettybob its kind of amazing to see how racism is ok if it's against any white race. how do you know that the gypsy didn't train all day everyday? on top of that tyson admitted the only reason he boxed was for money and women.... this man is at least fighting for his family and honor. Tyson also bit a mans ear off in the ring and was convicted of rape. Not to mention he'd tell people he was going to rape them as well. Real stand up dude you're getting behind. Think before speaking.

[coventry87]

i read bartley gormans' autobiography, good book.

[markrskinner]

ledgend?

Is that a word?

[barneyboscoe]

read Bartley's book it's great i couldn't put it down.May the lord watch over him.

[petertunny]

mr bartley gorman i believe he was one of the hardest cases on the planet ! he was very much like a fella called colin cocks who was unstopable !! a lovely true fella but could do the business god bless the pair of em

[savateuk]

Respect to a great man, a fighting man.

His book changed my life

Too many people on here disrespecting a true gent and worthy "King"

[RCS8911]

@nickic272 you are a sad bastard

[MsTheresaMaria]

RIP LEGEND

[dibbleman]

the streets were a much safer place to walk when people like bartley was around..a great man..

[Loshpot]

Are there any vids of one of Bartley's fights anywhere?

[imwtchingu86]

sad that somebody with such a legacy lived such a poor life even after his achievements. i suppose to his kind it wasnt about money , just a simple life with simple values. I wish it was like that for me...God Bless

[ravingculs]

Bartley Gorman was not short of a bob or two mate, he was a clever man, a dealing a man. He lead the life he wanted, a travelling man's life.

[ih8hertz]

R.I.P Bartley

[bunglecraigavon]

Not only the greatest man among gypsys,

but the greatest man full stop.

Heaven needed another angel. R.I.P

[E15geezer]

a real man's man R.I.P. bartley.

[blutobelushi]

the more i read this book the more moved i am.what a man.God bless him and his family and all the traveller's.i have great respect for them.bartley was the REAL DEAL.

[flynnafc07]

He sparred muhammed ali.

[cipslim]

RIP...

Read his book: a book of honor and bravery

A true story of the fall and rise of man, the Phoenix of modern Britain.

[hectormandarin]

I've read a few books by these fighters and some of them come across as arrogant bullies, but Bartley came across as a sound bloke, hard but humble and Paddy Considine, who is supposed to be playing him in a film, said he had a good sense of humour too. Top man.

[ravingculs]

He was a proper man! These cowards putting nasty comments on here with their sweating little hands typing at their computers want to go and get a life! Respect to Bartley Gorman- A proper man!

[hectormandarin]

There are a lot of internet "tough guys" who say things hiding behind the screens they would never dare say face to face.

[blutobelushi]

so true mate.he was a GREAT FIGHTER AND MAN.his book is second to none.its a GREAT read.

rip bartley.the world lost a gem when you died.

[wiccaman69]

R.I.P Bartley...Have you,s ever heard of Billy Marshall Gypsy King of years gone by.?

Respect

[newall7]

[cogangeezer]

[ax1237]

@roverthedog01 put u in the ring with chuck norris. he would uppercut u 2 heaven.

[MystSilverDragon]

dont ye dare skrew with the *Irish* because of one ignorant man lol

[roverthedog01]

Irish are not real Gypsies.

Fucking land thieves.

If this guy was any good he would have made real money in the pro. ring.

Catholic religion is shit.

[deanlanepark]

yeh he might be getting on in this vid,but hes still got some weight and power inhis punches,in the old days the punch bags used to be filled with sand,you would belt the bag and it would only travell 6or7 inches,in boxing or bare fist youv got to be able to take punches it no good dishing it out then gettin one on the jaw and going over,thats why he says if you cant take pain for get it, agood man with princebles and nice famley,RIP,,

[MilesMuhldoon]

yes, this man is old in the film but he appears to be just a plodder, somebody throwing a lot of winging punches, telegraphing the blows...would 'ave liked to see him in his younger days.

-Muhldoon

[deanlanepark]

if you cant take pain then stay away from it.a gent and not a bloke to mess with.

[Weston1968]

Please try & get to read some of my Great Uncles books he wrote in the early 70's on the Great Prize fighters e.g. Tom Cribb, Tom Sayers e.t.c. His name was Tom Langley. If any body is interested please mail me.

[irishredrose81]

Just read the book,what a wonderful man,

r.i.p Bartley, King of The Gypsies.

[1981may8]

try reading ON The Cobbles another great bare knuckle book

[johnmaff36]

Could anyone tell me the name of his book

and the author

[sicKpup9]

king of the gypsies, bartley gorman with peter walsh

[benolly22]

I too have just finished his book, It`s a brilliant read I`d recommend it to anyone...

A hard & clever man, and a man of principle,

R.I.P Bartley & Sam.

[thedonracha]

just read his book what a greatman r.i.p

[Rovers]

I'm glad this has been recoreded because it is a very valuable piece of history. One day those that seek to control the lives of others would hope to end the ways that Bartley and his kin followed. Videos like this will remind the rest of us that these folk are real and we could all learn from them. God bless The King RIP Bartley.

[gummygimp]

Is this guy been layed to rest in swansea? cause there is a huge grave there and its apparently him??

[badgersbabe]

No bartley is buried in a small village just out side of uttoxeter staffs

[dsis30]

[stormmaft]

[darktim99]

APPERNTLY is was joe "hulk" joyce. BUT he got beat. although bartley said in his autobiog that ALL the top men nower days are all mates and wont fight eachother. i think bartley was the last great king.

[stellaemma]

[bigsargecab123]

[darktim99]

LEGEND!!! reading his book for the 17th times. this guy is pure ACE!

[andynorvo]

is there any truth in the rumor that paddy considine will play bartley in a movie by shane meadows

[bov1984]

i heard that too mate but im not sure, dead mans shoes cant be beaten tho fucking masterpeice.

[OrthodoxSteel]

Gang Member: What you looking at?

Anthonys Brother~: YOU YE CUNT!!!!

Class movie.

[hamigon]

Bartley Gorman died of cancer, shortly after he finished dictating his memoirs. It was the only thing that could beat him.

Such a shame.

[AthleticPassion]

Like Lenny Mclean and many others doesn't matter how hard you are Cancer is harder. R.I.P

[bm2g]

how did he die?

[valerioviccei]

[just1boronut]

after years of hearing about this guy, I finally get to see him .. cheers, what a legend this guy is , wish I could have gone a few rounds with him .. peace

[siickwunn]

which bobby gunn is that? its the same bobby gunn thats posted on youtube. the former cruiserweight champion of the world - as far as a gypsy fighter he is the best there is ... best there was & the best that will ever be

[Sidthecrow]

Enzo Macraneli destroyed Bobby Gunn in one round on the undercard of Calzaghe Manfredo. Bobby Gunn is average at best.

[timvpduncan21]

Bobby Gunn is the new king of the gypsy fighters! He would beat any gypsy. He is colorful and a chracter himself. He is very respectful to Gorman bar none, Gunn is the king of the gypsy's

[BoxingSmith]

Which Bobby Gunn is that then?

[Sidthecrow]

Enzo Macraneli destroyed Bobby Gunn in one round on the undercard of Calzaghe Manfredo. Bobby Gunn is average at best.

[BoxingSmith]

Good to see more travellers getting on the internet Jerry.

[spaghead1]

hey just seen vid of ur uncle on a bag his left hand is as hard as his rite

[Ansatsuken]

I'm in the middle of reading his book and it's without a doubt one of the most fascinating lives ever.

To me he represents a lot of things that the world could do very well for itself to relearn.

[carlisleutdno1]

Bullhammer was one of a kind, the plaque still on the wall in 'The Grapes Inn' at Appelby

[elbartos13]
