    I was really drunk one night at my local The Eliot Arms in Saint Germans, Cornwall and I’m sat at the bar when this man bumps into me. I turn to my side to see it was Alan Ford, though being very drunk at the time I couldn’t remember his name just his face. I said I recognise you from somewhere then I said you were Brick Top in Snatch and continued to call him Brick Top. I bought his drink, had a chat to him and asked for an autograph (behind the bar were postcards with a picture of the pub on it so I got one from the bar) where he wrote “To Nich thanks for the drink, chat and recognition. Wishing you all the best Brick Top AKA Alan Ford”. Still got that autograph some 16yrs later

A waitress asked him if he wanted another wine before going on stage. He said “yes please”. The waitress asked “small or large?” He said… “Large… I’m old, I haven’t got time to fuck about”. Everything he said that night was a perfect quote.. An absolute legend of a man!!!!

    Snatch was my favourite film when I was growing up. I remember renting it from a video store (those were the days). Then I got it on VHS.. played it over and over and over, never got tired of it. I'm sure I must have watched it close to a hundred times back in my youth.. I knew every word in it off by heart. I always thought it was by far the best British movie of it's generation.. in my opinion much better than Lock Stock which seems to be more appreciated and held in higher regard.. for whatever reason Lock Stock never clicked with me in the same way Snatch did. Personally, I much preferred Snatch. Maybe it's just because I grew up with it. But either ways, truly fantastic film. One of the best. A real classic.

      Brick Top's glasses were accidental, not at all part of the script or the character's initial design.

Some real experienced actors, heavy hitters of drama, comedy, action, absolute genius. I love gangster movies. We all dream of being bad asses, wise asses, able to kick ass, and tell people to bugger off. Even if it's not in real life, it's fun to listen to the (reality checks) when the thugs get after you. No matter how tough you are, or think you are; there's always a thug crazier, and more dangerous than you. Great laughs, great fantasy. Glad I'm retired.
