Paul Sykes part1

[mannzymunster]

Why dose anything I'm ever interested in cost fuckin fortunes? Would like to read his bio but I'm not paying 45 quid.

[madmaxasa]

watched the videos of paul sykes got me wondering what ever become of a doorman from norminton who worked the doors, he was known as bopper. we used to stay at the elephant and castle in july and go to york races on their bus trip. we would then spend the night doing the westgate run, we never once had any trouble in eleven years. the locals were allways friendly and made us welcome. eric nutter had the e and c is he still lanlord, he was a top man.

[jr91wba]

whats yosser hughes doing in jail?

[whitewaxa69]

mugs legend raped y p s young prisoners up and down the country and screws turned a blind eye in 70s because he was a riot threat what a filthy animal i was born in 80s but heard about his fowl sexual rapes in 90s

[stitcha123]

3.40 - you mean............'a sit up'. ;S

[Helios601]

Kids only imitate their atmosphere and start as a blank canvas, so it is a great shame you get someone who goes from that photo as a lovely little boy to a deeply disturbed adult, he clearly had serious issues with his father, alas, a common theme with troubled adults, Lenny Macleen etc, some fathers should hold their heads in shame in doing sucj a foul job in bringing up the next generation.

[SH4R9Y]

I liked Paul and yeah he was a twat when he was younger but it was a shame how things went 4 him but some people called it karma.

[MultiPlayaaa]

@eltubster14 daft cunt we all batterd him up in 88 then the shipped him out to hull.he was only raping scousers and cockneys haha you arsehole..............he would of loved you

[preetonk]

just a big bully!!!! all the people on here who say they like him are not from wakey. everybody from wakey knows he was a prick and everyones better off where he is now!!! and dont even give me that shit he was hard!!

[smithdvr]

@preetonk totally agree mate the guy was a fucking dick.i lived on lupset for 24 years and all he did was get pissed,punch and beat people for fuck all and in wakefield itself cause more trouble in the pubs and around town.

wanker got beat fuck out of in the HAREWOOD ARMS one night by a geezer called george who had just got out of prison.apparently he smashed his head in with a bar stool,he should have done it with a hammer.sykesy was scum

[TheLizardmonkey]

Playwright Jez Butterworth must have been inspired by the likes of Paul Sykes and Charles Bronson for his character of 'Johnny Baron' in the play 'Jerusalem'. Very good and I think Mr. Sykes would have been proud.

[MultiPlayaaa]

@eltubster14 shut up you dosy cunt .your the cock.probley the cock that went in sykseys arse in jail he was a fucking nonse

[eltubster14]

@MultiPlayaaa I've heard strong rumours Sykesy got you pregnant during your time as his prison girlfriend, then refused to support the child, causing you to obsessively post comments on his YouTube videos.

[TheJay9002]

He was a fucking scumbag.The people defending him here don't have clue what this cunt was like. You want to know what sort of man he is take a look at his sons, two are doing life for murder. One beat an ex-policeman to death in his own home (he was on that strangeways documentary that is on bbc atm on a monday night, his names michael sharp) and the other stabbed a man to death in his flat. Mental health problems? Fuck off. The man was a bully and a scumbag,THAT is the reason he ended up inside

[26wordy]

well if they make a short documentary about me before I die it'll do me,but not like this

[26wordy]

send us his book pablocostanza

[Broomehall]

Boxing gloves at 4 !!! press ups, body tucks !!! getting beaten up at 7 ??? he was just a tiny kid, the father may have thought he was giving him life skills to avoid the bullies but he turned out to be one himself, the shame of it is he seemed like a very decent bloke whose early life as an only child and upbringing shaped his later life, such a waste, R.I.P Paul

[MultiPlayaaa]

ya dad was trying to make you the best paul so you woudnt get bullied .but you turned out to be that bully of course ya dad loved ya he didnt want to see you get hurt and then you turned on him the poor olf fella he made you the good fighter you was so dont blame ya dad

[MultiPlayaaa]

hes a man who had 2 plates on 1 plate he had the heavyweight champ of the world title .women money .you name it

on the other plate he had alcohol knocking inocent people out for being a bully .and thinking hes was untouchable EGO  he chose the wrong plate

what a fucking idiot

[jonnyslater72]

Sykes, Bronson, Mclean, Shaw...all shared similarities. All were massively strong and powerful, and all crazy to various degrees. It's the mental aspect that is key here. Plenty of big strong guys in gyms, but none as deranged as those just mentioned. Inside, Sykes was the daddy and the regimented lifestyle suited him. When released, he fell victim to his biggest demon - alcohol.

[MultiPlayaaa]

expert at violence my arse is that why he got batterd in the ring agaisnt john l gardner?

he thought he was to good

wen he shudda been training he was on the drink 24/7

useless scruffy cunt

see ya SYKSEY U NONSE

[MultiPlayaaa]

@pablocostanza fuckoff you daft cunt hes book is full of shit 50 percent of it is

he was a jail rapist were ever he went

fuck him hes better off dead

the nonse

[MultiPlayaaa]

he always took libertys spitting in peoples pints of lager then walking of with it

he had no m8 outside

only inside

[eltubster14]

@MultiPlayaaa Are you obsessed with him you cock?

[matrixsenior]

Basically a bully. Good at filling people in, but when someone harder than him was dishing it out he didn't want to know, which is why he couldn't make it as a boxer.

[MultiPlayaaa]

@pablocostanza absolute arsehole he was

he was fucked up in the head

he used to nock out the yps in durham jail in the mid 1980s and rape them

he was a nonce

and hes 2 boys are now doing life for murder

im glad hes dead

fucking bully off wakefield

[Gfresh844]

Lol, I'm suprised Russell Brand didn't use any of this in his ponderland programme. The pumps bit was hilarious. He's like an angry chuckle brother.

[GLH03]

Never heard of him.

[yesnoyesno52]

Paul Sykes is mistakenly considered to be a legend. Anyone who lived in Wakefield over the last 25 - 30 years knows that he was an absolute cunt. Hated by an entire city. Does a legend sit in a bus station drunk all day every day shouting random abuse at strangers? Does a legend spawn two sons who are both serving ife for murder? I know the family of one of his sons murder victims, all you Paul Sykes fans get yourself up to Wakefield and tell the victims son how much of a legend this cunt was.

[bigcherry99]

@yesnoyesno52 you need to show more respect for a great man, paul sykes is a hero!

[Edam3000]

I blame his dad for his mental f*ck up.

Sad.

[micky311972]

I NEW HIM N HIS SON PAUL, STRAIGHT DIVE'S...

I WENT TO GO SEE A MATE IN THORPE ARCHE (ANA) WHEALSTON WETHERBY N HIS HANDICAPTED KID HIM MY DAUGHTER I FUCKING FLIPPED,

HE DIDMT SAY NOTHING TO ME HE WAS VISITING HIS SON N MY PAL WAS ONTHE SAME WING, (STAIGHT SHIT ED'S...)

[pablocostanza]

absolute legend. just read his highly rated book. he had a troubled mind, but a great brain, good heart and crackin sense of humour. it's a shame he has gone. too many idiots bad mouth him on here. he had the potential to be heavyweight champ of the world. he had mental health issues, that was not his fault. he was twice the man all you bad mouthing cowards are. RIP.

[yesnoyesno52]

@pablocostanza You know fuck all. He was not a legend. In no way should he RIP. Tell the families of his sons murder victims that Paul Sykes was a legend. Is it a coincidence that he should have TWO sons who go on to murder? Dont come back bleating that he cannot be blamed for the actions of his sons, of course he fucking can, and so he should. You are a cunt.

[pablocostanza]

@yesnoyesno52 should you blame paul sykes's dad for his actions? then blame his grandad for his dad's actions? dont talk rubbish! people are responsible for their own actions when they reach adulthood. i have read Paul's book, have you? the guy would be considered mentally ill in this day and age. i admitt he could be a nasty bastard, but deep down he was a good guy with a great talent and superb wit. he went downhill but he achieved a lot more than you ever will. i pity you.

[yesnoyesno52]

@pablocostanza Paul Sykes is definitely to blame for how his sons turned out, you must live in a dream world if you think otherwise. People are responsible for their own actions true, but the actions that they take or consider to be acceptable are shaped by their upbringing. Did you ever meet or see him first hand? How do you know what I have or haven't achieved by the way?

[RazgrizPrideofOsea]

@pablocostanza every time i saw him on the streets of wakefield i offered him food and water and talked with him, he actually was a genuine guy, A classic tragedy

god bless wakefield and god bless my home, lupset and everyone in it.

[pablocostanza]

@RazgrizPrideofOsea-i would have liked to have met him. it was a tragedy, a massive shame. wakefield is the 'best little city on earth'. god bless huddersfield, god bless yorkshire.

[EBTerriers]

@pablocostanza whats the name of his book mate ?

[pablocostanza]

@EBTerriers it is called sweet agony. you might find it on amazon. it will be expensive tho because there aren't many copies about

[xazer0]

@EBTerriers hia, books called sweet agony by lofthouse publications, it cost £3.99 back in the day now average price is £30 to £45 have a look on ebay, i have had it since the day it came out given to me by paul himself and he signed it, everyone who slags him off on here either did not know him or had a run in with him in the past, ive spent many a night out with him with no trouble atall, when trouble started most of the time it was someone trying to have a go which they did not get far

[stitcha123]

@pablocostanza bullshit. he was a bullying, violent sociopathic shit parenting loser. fuck him.

[pablocostanza]

@stitcha123 its too easy to browse the internet and bad mouth people. it is a game for faceless cowards with nothing better to do.

[stitcha123]

@pablocostanza ...or people wishing to offer an opinion.

[WakefieldTrin]

@pablocostanza YP's committing suicide should be celebrated.

[WakefieldTrin]

@pablocostanza Pissed up problems.

[tenodogblu]

@pablocostanza Good comments mate, really sad to learn that Paul has gone. May I ask if you know when he passed away and what from?

[pablocostanza]

@tenodogblu he died in 2007 from pneumonia and liver cirrhosis according to wikipedia. he was a bad piss head in his later years. this documentary on youtube is an absolute belter and his book is quality. i know a lot of people slag him off and i can see where they are comin from, but he had a bad upbringing. its hard not to appreciate his wit and his talent.

[mrmartinmartin]

@pablocostanza too right mate.

[MultiPlayaaa]

i remember him in durham jail in the 1988 89 knocking out the yps and raping them in hes cell he was a fuking nonse always was 1 fuk him haha

[pybonator]

@MultiPlayaaa this is right, he raped a lot of young men in durham in the eighties, pure nonce

[rankinmania]

Hard times = hard people .. victims and products of circumstance no matter how hard.

[billybobobenner]

Were the authorities unable to convict him or even section him for mental evaluation for himself and more pertinently, for society as a person deemed a danger to themselves and others and behaving as irrationally and dangerously as him? Had this happened so many people would not have been hurt by him; police, his family and the general public. A tragic story, not least in that his own sons went on to murder.

[billybobobenner]

The many anecdotes I read here, if only a handful are true added to his being well known by many police forces in the north of England and still he remained on the streets either for the entire time or at least for long periods of freedom after the documentary was made until his death.

[billybobobenner]

On screen Paul Sykes comes across at times as funny and eloquent, at others a bombast and boor, and also as disturbed, on edge, and he is forever fidgeting. He was clearly mistreated by his father, though that does not mitigate his subsequent violent behavior.

[njjroberts]

lenny mcclean would eat this guy, no?

[poola169]

his mom looks like bo selecta's mel b ooooh ya bastard

[Camberwell86]

@poola169 OMG my internet is a bit slow today, this video buffered so I scrolled down and had a gander at the comments... I went back up to watch and was waiting for his mum... when she came on I spat beer all over my laptop... it's actually too much :D :D :D

[minxious]

@poola169 i love you 4 that :0)

[andymac6263]

@poola169 leave mam's out of it you cheeky little cunts.

[Tehploe]

[6anatolyy4]

[bombaymatt]

[p2dC]

[MrMusclefish]

A tough man indeed but accent of a northern faggot

[superdave31]

i dunno why but he just reminds me of lik a hard central defender type bloke

[riddla81]

i looked this mug up coz someone told he was a hard man and there was some good vids on this complete dickhead,this person also told me that even the likes of lenny mclean and roy shaw feared him....soo all i can say 2 this person is u chat even more shit than paul sykes himself.......FUCKIN IDIOT

[Thebigdogg666]

Any silly cunt who looks up to this waste of space must have a screw loose. HE WAS NOT A HARD MAN!!!! He was a bullying, lying drunkard who never did anything with his life except make his family`s life`s miserable! Acomplete waste of time.

[capitalsho]

Thank god this piece of crap is dead now.

[capitalsho]

21 years in prison says to me that there is some thing about being locked up with lots of other men he enjoys :)

[kirkbyla]

bo selecta 4.20 shamon

[LollieSmith]

the man is a twat not a hero

[BoogieKnight1976]

Paul Sykes is mentioned in Charles Bronsons book. It is said that he once skinned the prison cat and made a hat from it. Bronson described him as a big man, hands like shovels who loved birds ,booze and fights.

[Edam3000]

Paul Sykes = "Bullshiter Extraordinaire"

[LollieSmith]

@Edam3000 he really acts up for the camera

[Edam3000]

@LollieSmith - ah, cheers :)

[Thebigdogg666]

@Edam3000 you`re not fuckin wrong, mate. The dopy cunt never even left british soil in his whole life!

[Edam3000]

@Thebigdogg666 Lol ! :D

[BoogieKnight1976]

02:10 Mmmm ! Dinner looks good !

[LollieSmith]

@BoogieKnight1976  diahorrea on mash hahaha

[spagsylee]

check out his pumps lol

[LollieSmith]

@spagsylee i wanna lick them pumps

[flanneryged]

When he was on the out he used to drink

Brandy and take Barbiturates through the day,this just made more crazy.One day we were driving through Manchester it was about 10 to 9 in the morning.When we pulled up at some Traffic lights we were directly opposite a Jewelers.Sykes never said a word he just got out the car

and walked into the shop.The owner was

just putting his stock on display for the days trade.Sykes whacked him right accross the Jaw and knocking him out.Then robbed the shop!!.

[Edam3000]

What year was this filmed ? - looks like between '82 and '84.

[orbtastic]

@Edam3000 Looks about '88 to me?

[Menschenfreind]

paul sykes looks like günther grass

[CJOKUSAP]

Hilarious in the same way a hanging using a bungee cord would be.

[DW01]

Someone also told me "does you good does chocolate"... Complete bastard, i'm seventeen stone with a beer keg for a belly. Twats.

[flanneryged]

You can see where the big daft arse bandit gets it from,he's idiot of a Father.Just look at his Mothers Face!!! she has had more punches in the Face

off Wanker Walter than Tommy Hearns got off Marvin Hagler.Paul Sykes is a fucking rapist,he is scum the shit of the Earth.He should be locked up forever and never get out.He used to walk down to the

YPs wing in Durham Jail and knock a young Kid out and fuck the Arse off him.A lot of Kids killed themselves because of this fucking moron.

[bombaclotable]

@flanneryged he is dead

[flanneryged]

@bombaclotable I must admit this is news to me,and I am not going to dance on a Dead mans grave.However Paul Sykes was a serious headcase,although

listening to his old man you can see where all this anger and rage got put into him.People like Sykes old man should not be allowed to have Kids,just look at the life this bloke endured.He never got one second off his Jail he always did the full sentence.I met him in the special unit in Hull Prison years ago.He was a dodge pot but he backed it up.

[smithdvr]

sykes was a complete CUNT no one in wakey liked him.(not even his wife)

the best thing i ever heard about this cunt was when he got done over the head in the harewood arms with a cast iron stool by some geezer called george he nearly killed sykesie.all these cunts who say they knew him are lying the reason is nobody wanted to know him not even his own kids thats why they turned out the way they did.he was a fucking time bomb and when he went off if you was near this cunt you was gonna get it.

[briklay]

ye he was a proper liberty taking cunt he come unstuck when mitchell chinned him

[audiurs6]

A good friend of mine fought him twice in the ring, he drew once and beat him once.

So less than 10 miles from sykes was a better boxer, and harder man. No disputing sykes could do the job physicaly, but power is nothing without control.

I must confess i pissed myself laughin when he was explaing how thick his dad was, " he'd come home atleast twice a week with dog shit on his shoes!!"

The point being when people watch this ans say how funny he is...we're laughing AT him....NOT with him.

[iiCazador]

Wakey Legend :)

[cdwordsworth26]

everyone in wakey knew him. was a local infamous character.

[grg900]

i feel sorry for him i met him a few times he was a crazy fucker but he wasnt a phsyco like every one thinks

[jordjam]

lenny mclean was going to fight him but he got locked up b4 it happened.i think lenny would have beat him easy

[dibbleman]

mclean and roy shaw were terrified of paul sykes..everyone around them days was..on the cobbles he was unbeatable...

[0poIE]

Squatting 210Kg i think there ledgend

[pete2007owens]

woooo wank me you immegrants

[yesnoyesno52]

learn to spell.

[gapmanreturns]

Paul Sykes is a fucking idiot plain and simple , he should have been put down like a rabid dog , I hope he rots in the carcasses of hell.

[pete2007owens]

id fucking marry that man if he was alive he makes my fucking day

[yesnoyesno52]

you stupid cunt. you stupid cunt. paul sykes spawned 2 murdering sons. would you stand in front of the families of the parents, sisters, brothers, cousins and other close relatives of the victime of the people his sons killed and say he makes your day? Bravado will probably make you reply "Yes". You stupid cunt.

[0poIE]

Maybee she doesn't know anything about him and just watched this 1 video, he seems ok in a way but ye

[yesnoyesno52]

you stupid cunt. YOU STUPID CUNT.

[pete2007owens]

HAHAHAHA calm down you fuckin outcast! He just makes me laugh thats all. Now go home before i take you home you silly little faggot

[yesnoyesno52]

awesome response. i loved the bit about going home before you take me home. i am mortally wounded by being called a silly faggot too. you really did write the most comprehensively amazing reply ever. "Now go home before i take you home you silly little faggot ", priceless!! what does that mean? TIT!!!!!

[jerrygormanNO1]

no wonder he went mad locked up 4 21 year`s but u can tell hes a hard man

[reason52]

What a great man Paul Sykes was. Both sons in prison for murder. Anyone in Wakefield knows that he was a total loser and the entire city hated him. Stop this romancing of a disgrace. A few amusing words he says in this seem to make people forgive every wrong he has committed. Even Huntley could probably tell a joke with a great punchline. Disguises nothing. NO MORE PAUL SYKES GLAMOURISING.

[blacks1982]

I knew Sykes he was a bully and a rapist and his sons were no better but what chance did they have with him as a father

[2503vinny]

what a Fuking Guy :D

[TheSaintST1]

Crikey, I remember this programme from a video my uncle showed me. I wanted to take so many samples from it because he came up with some great one-liners! "I'm an expert at violence, I've been at it all my life...!" LOL! Classic.

[kirkbyla]

what a wanker john wayne cmom ashworth material

[captspualding]

Paul wasent perfect but he was a man a true two fisted man. And if you didnt like him chances are you are a pussy.

[muayboran]

Tommy gildea from liverpool fought this guy? What happened? Ive heard tommy was one hell of a knockout merchant.

[dibbleman]

@muayboran lol tommy glldea was only a kid when paul sykes was around..i knew tommy well..i was in d.c with him..he was quite hard..but not in paul sykes league..

[smithdvr]

paul sykes was nothing more than a fucking menace in wakefield.He went around pubs abusing and being a complete twat towards people and pub landlords.He is no legend he is scum,he attacked innocent people in and out of prison fucker deserves to rot D.I.P(DIE IN PAIN)CUNT.

[reason52]

well said smithdvr. why do people want to glamorise him? i only look on this stuff to reaffirm my hatred. plenty of people got hidings as kids but didnt turn out like this. WEAK EXCUSE.

[turksmikey]

his lads are inside for murder eh anyone know more

[charliejones116]

Michael Sharp (also known as Michael Doggett) another delinquant son of Wakefield's deceased former boxer Paul Sykes, has been charged with the murder of David Ward, a car dealer found dead in his home on Denby Dale Road in the early hours of 23rd Jan 2008. Mr Ward's body was found in a first floor bathroom by police officers responding to a report of a burglary in progress at his home.

[daveybaby10]

david ward was a good friend of mine and i hope the little smack head shit dies in jail

[charliejones116]

and as for his other son Paul Sykes Jr. Sykes Junior has been serving a life sentence for murder since November 2004 after stabbing 50-year-old Michael Gallagher to death at his home in Lupset, Wakefield.

[jonny4274]

Nasty bastard, who beat women, make no wonder his two lads are locked up for murder.

[yesnoyesno52]

@jonny4274 Well said.

[Fioneenacockeen]

Saw this documentary shortly after it was screened on First Tuesday(?)His sayings have stayed with me since.

RIP Paul.

Also, thanks for posting this Nalgazo

[hmw1970]

nalgazo thx 4 postin...plz can we have the end of it?????????????

[muttyp]

I think they should write a full biography about him,i just read his book 'Sweet Agony',it was great,i'd love to read more about his life....what happened with him and Cath? How he ended up on the streets?etc. I respect Paul Sykes,a funny,interesting guy....never knew him but wish i had the chance to,loved this documentry when i first saw him on 'Me Dinner',its so funny and tragic all in one....R.I.P mate.

[captspualding]

Paul Sykes was a warrior show some respect cause if you didnt and If Paul was still in his prime youd be picken your fucken teeth of the cobbels. RIP Paul Sykes.

[dixiedeanlivesalways]

nugget born to do jail , never taken a liberty in me life one bullyin cunt exspert in violence fuck off

[lupsetlad]

spoiled his life and others but still died a legend

[reziztanze]

Yes, he does deserve respect in some ways. However, he was bully who abused vulnerable prisoners in jail for sexual favours. I was in Strangways when he was there in 1983. A very tought man, but also a big bully.

[bobsinno]

[tinternet66]

A real good mate of mine was banged up with him in the 70s. Then agin in the 80s talks about a mad fight with a scouse lad who he smashed. Later on he said he was knocking out younger lads and took to them with his penis.(which he informed me was like the rest of paul.) Some of these young men were only in there (his cell) one night before it was off to see the doc. Personal i think this is pritty funny the family thing to my mate reckons he was a big bully bum boy.. Either way a hard Man

[lehipster]

I know a bloke who lived with him for a time...he was a seriously hard bastard....

trust me

[lehipster]

What did he die of ? And what was that ugly scar on his back ..looks like a knife wound

[lehipster]

He may well have taken too many punches as

he grew up.....he seems a bit punchy...

sharp but potentially explosive...shame

[satan0207]
