I met him only four or five times. He was highly intelligent and cultured. I was going to interview him for my first PhD but sadly he died before it was possible - and he was understandably reticent about giving interviews on matters of detail. In that regard he was the opposite of most people in the business - he did NOT court the publicity associated with high levels of professional ferrocity. I was close friends with people who knew Mr Spiers very well indeed, and all attest that he was never an agressor, never thuggish or volatile. I have no doubts - ZERO, NIL - that he was capable of the most extreme violence... but I formed a strong impression he was also a man of principle and honour. In his ''civilian' activities he was the sort of person your mum would describe as ' a real gentleman' ... mine did.
I went to a couple of Gary's classes when I was a kid. Great fella.
Grew up around Gary all you hear is utterly true a real legend . A calm and controlled person ..... God bless him and all who trained with him ....... Never has a saying been so true ... They don't make them like that anymore ........................

Love this channel new stuff i never heard off bless up Bristol uk
I'm really enjoying your posts now bud. Look forward to them popping up in my feed. 👍
Thankyou mate
Met him a few times as a lad, complete gentleman.
The "long firm" was perfected by Charlie and Eddie back in the day, they made serious serious gelt from that alone. Helped with tame old bill ensured to develop a very myopic eye to it going on hehe My second hand car operation was closed down by a FS inspector and I swear he was looking for a bung more than a nick, said to me I needed to take a holiday because some of my sold motors happened to be used in naughty no no's and they were looking to tie me in for 'piracy, aiding and supplying or I could go visit me mum in Bournemouth for an extended holiday, we were gone by end of week to Dorset where I have stayed ever since. I always like to trot out the banter between me and this old bill, I says to him "So you want me to have a sign, wear a T shirt saying 'my cars are only for sale IF you aren't going to rob a post office with it'? yes?", I was such a lary scut back then full of me own mustard but to be fair we both had a good laugh about it... It was down in Bournemouth I got approached about John Ackerman's whereabouts so someone noticed where I went lol These days I deal in watches, self taught watchsmith, honest money too as sometimes you score an absolute diamond of a piece :D
Brilliant mate.
I missed this one 🥊👍
good channel this man, seeing you here just confirmed it!
Gary definitely seems like he was a character larger than life.
Nice piece work Mr E and well told, the breakdown from you at the end was interesting aswell. And when you said about people/enforces blurring the lines etc..got me thinking you were on the ball with that one! Respect your neutral position on it all the time! Take care be lucky 🍀 godbless my friend.🙏🗣🎙
Thank you my friend
I trained with Gary in Liverpool and I can vouch he was a real gent but but lethal when he got going, he lifted me off the floor with a kick to my love spuds and when my Sensei did the same on Gary he just stood there and didn't bat an eyelid ! 😮 😮😮😮 He was the real deal 👍
do a video on gary spiers minding micheal jackson at aintree and the promoters tried to rip gay off and gary wouldnt let michael jackson leave till he got paid and they paid him right away
I lived in aintree at the time, that is indeed a true story
Love the 2 videos you done on gazbo. In the video you done about the Scottish thugs there's a picture of my grandad and uncle in Terry O'Neills fighting arts magazine
Brilliant il have a re look at that
I would have loved to have seen Gary in the ufc back when it was starting out
I worked with him and Lou Sarsolls if anyone's heard of him
😎💪💪💪
Cool , i have trained with him in wigan doors , maxims wednesday nights plus anything r where else he was training , go ask joe teirny shorai karate bolton ,mike lyons wigan doors ,i am 60 hehehehe great bloke
Great video as always mate.
Just out of curiosity, who are your sources that claim he was a martial arts legend?
Hi mate terry o neil to mention just one very well respected
@@enquirer2.0 fair enough mate. I’ve seen 2 of my favourite crime/hardman podcasts, yourself and Matt Legg both refer to him as a martial legend & I’ve asked around as high as you can go in the martial arts industry in Australia and nobody seems to know of him.
I have no doubt the man was an absolute weapon on the streets & earned his reputation, I just question his martial arts background in australia/New Zealand as any type of legend
He was in Japan with 2 off the world's to karate masters look him up on the internet these loads about were Gary trained in martial arts
@@andrewthurgill8816 Fair enough, however that just makes him an average student, not a martial arts legend as absolutely anyone can do that
@@pjbennett8931 im a kiwi .. 60s .. and known about his lethal abilities since my mid teens .. thru an older (actually 2 older ) mates .. one ended up bring a style into NZ .. and having abt 20 studios here ..both mates worked and run club drs in aussie .. one with studios did band security too here and aus ... gary was days before vids etc .. plenty photos .. stories of him tho ..
Put them againts roy lenny the likes easy

@@davidmckay2386 bomb testing? 🤣
@garfieldsobers4188 yes lol
Same thing happens in the drug world, and people get to big for there own boots .
Another blinder top man .
Thankyou my friend
@@enquirer2.0 no fella always bang on and how it the turnout is then analyse breaking down the story .respect God bless
He's been dead for over 20 years and the vid starts by calling him a living legend.
No doubt hes a warrior but he didn’t get the money back so the gangsters be happy long term
or did he get the money back ?
😂
ANOTHER GREAT BEN
