@smokethamodry, I aint responsible for this disgusting post, luckily I know who is, I was not aware of it till I recieved email with your comment. I can only apologise for any offence caused, and this cloen will be dealt with big time, thanks for bringing it to my attention
The only pricks on here are the ones disrespecting a dead man, most probably didn't know him. Big, hard keyboard boxers. Well he was a pal of mine so heres a bit of my respect for ya, I hope all these people makin these comments contract terminal cancer, hows that ?
One prick started this nonce bullshit then a couple of other muppets repeated it. Delroy Showers was a good friend of Sykes, he wouldn't have associated with a nonce. Paul Sykes was just a genuine hard bastard.
Who are you all to dissect his mind and inner torment, Bully? Loser? a disgrace? everybody in Wakefield hated him, ( Everybody ?) even a rapist apparently?however much is fact, whatever he did he clearly needed professional help in the decades when such medical understanding or more so, the availability of medical and mental health support was in it's infancy compared to todays model,how quick we are to accuse and denigrate but how many of us will ever know what it was like to walk in his shoes
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.
mack 70-expand on the book or the anecdotes?.As i said the book is well written-but a lot of it is taken with his relationship with barely legal girls.I have heard many anecdotes about him,from people who knew him in Blackpool,-none good,if even one of them is true,he was a lowlife piece of shit.There are bullies like Paul Sykes in every town /city-they always end up in the shit.IBad karma caught up with him.
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.
@reason52 woah now thats a bit out of line whole huntly bit, i agree with what you said for the most part but he was no fucking huntley that.... abomination or perhaps shall i refer to him as a shit stain on the cloth of humanity.
ive read his book"sweet agony"-ita a good read and well written,but you can see he was a proper deviant in it.Ive heard lots of anecdotes about him,and by all accounts he was a real bully and a low life piece of shit.
pauls autobiography is called sweet agony the first 4000 off the press went to paul who travelled country flogging them. interesting book. i shit myself when i beat him at scrabble at his home.rip mr sykes
If he had been born 500 hundreds years ago you would have called him a hero. But theres no place for real hard men in our politically correct society... At least on the right side of the law...
so wakefields all about takin liberties and abusing young prisoners and thinkin you can box when your just a fuckin moron ,i want to be a wakefield leg,end i think it will be easy anybody 5..ft 8 stone step forward
i watched this documentary when it first came out and i recorded it. i have watched many many times it became a cult mongst my mates. This is hilarious or tragic depending on your view.
i read about this guy in FHM magazine a few years ago.....tough guy....but...how would he fare against charlie "completely insane but desperate to be free" bronson?
No - it was Sykes himself who was the 'dickhead' - his dad was clearly too lenient with that ignorant piece of thuggish 'shit' (as our Paul would 'a said). All that reading didn't do much for him now, did it?
How weird is this ? I was chatting to a new mate in the pub yesterday and he had lived with Sykes...he said he was thick as shit..but hard as nails . How did he die..does anybody know ?
He died of pneumonia and alcohol poisoning, my mate was in jail with him and said he was a proper hardcase one of the toughest men in the British prison system and was well read and articulate.
this guys my uncle he was a real jekil and hyde...could be terrifying and then funniest man alive the next minute R.I.P its a shame how it all ended up really
Yes his mum is proper BO! Mel B Style.
