Geoff Capes, if my memory serves, was originally in the police force.
He boxed for the police know a man who use to spar with him
He..was indeed, a fact they used to avail viewers of during his competitions
He joined the Navy when he was about, he was in a dorm at HMS Ganges with my old man. Apparently Geoff was pretty sad to be away from his mum :P
@@johnroberts8739 yeah, he sued the police force for spinal injuries. Nothing to do with "strongman" events, nothing at all 🙄
So Spears beat Capes with a knife. Not all that honorable.
I'm sorry, but Geoff Capes is a national treasure. And he kept budgies, which shows he was nice to animals. Gary Spiers can't compete with a budgie loving , telephone book tearing freak of nature.
Canaries I think
Budgies i met him at a budgie show when i was a kid he had his prize winners with him. lovely bloke@@edborris6934
@@edborris6934 I don't care about the sub species my man, all I'm trying to say is that Geoffrey Capes is a goddamn icon. He should have been made a knight long ago. He should be crushing skulls with his bare hands.
Saville had loads of cats…aah bless, animal lover??? Stupid comment, ever!!!
@@edborris6934budgies
Steve Wraith is one of the most despised men in the north east. So many stories about him ,police informer ,ex drag queen ,and soft as shite. Heard numerous ex doormen say he'd run out of the door as soon as it kicked off. He's frightened to go to St James Park now he's so hated ..
Humphries 😂 the drag act wannabe
soft as shite LOL HES NOT THAT GOOD
I met Gary at a seminar in Australia, NSW back in the mid 90s via Jim Tierney (JTs Gym) in Golburn. I spent over an hour with Gary the night before the seminar (free to ask him anything), probably as a thank you and him being nice, since I tried to cavas support in Victoria for someone to host his seminar. His series of interviews in Australasian Fighting Arts, at the time raised concerns amongst ‘traditionalists’, hence no one wanted to help. I feel priverlaged to have talked, trained and learnt from Gary, even for that brief time. It was an honor. R.I.P. Gary✊️
Always great to finish work and get home to watch a video from you!! Keep up the amazing work my friend!
Thank you my friend
Gary used to come around my best mates dad in wigan in the late 80s and 90 he was a top man was always a gentleman we all loved him r.i.p gary xx
maybe the martial arts in him is why he was a gentleman,because the one thing i learned in martial arts was mainly about myself,fighting was nothing to do with it,even though i used to like to compete,it makes you a better person,and respectful to overs,just my opinion
I was under the impression Geoffs' son was behind Capes security. Geoff used to come down for Big Bar openings that Capes security was a part of, I met him at a Bar Opening in Luton, Absolute Unit of a man 🙂
Capes was known for being a hand full...this was from the farming hands around the Fens...Geoff was no mug
a cop too.
Steve Morris is THE man. A real machine! Check him out before he's gone...................
First time I have came across your channel Mr E... Watched a few short's.. could listen to your voice all day...thank you for these 👌👌
This strikes me as a bit of a myth, I agree with you he'll have been the figurehead. I really can't see Geoff Capes running around the country fighting Bouncers to push a business given his profile at the time.
Gary used to work the door at the club called le bank in Secombe on the Wirral in the 90s , he was a very hard man, he always wore flip flops because he had size 15 feet
That sounds right. Maoris are known for their big flat feet.
Spiers sounds like a lovely guy! Skims his clients cash & pulls a blade in a fist fight. I wouldn't want this pond life working for me!
mate of lennys
Fortunately, Spiers is now on the wrong side of the grass.
I'd love to hear more about Gary, great video.
In the 90s, there was word around my local area about his security firm coming to my town, I can't confirm if it ever happened though, another great video.. 😀
Thankyiu mate
Well to bring out a razor is pretty Cowardly what do you think, if he was as tough as People say
You never know with people like him ,with all he's done spiers and coward is a stupid thing to say .
gary spiers is no coward i know people who worked with him and people who worked for him he used to take gangs out on his own go ask the people who knew him theres loads off men seen him fight he was a very hard man theres more to this story than been told
Geoff Capes was a strong man not a hard man correct
Just because you are strong don’t mean you can fight ffs 🤦♂️ every one knows that
Geoff was in the police at some point and now spends his time breeding budgies.
I know Terry very well and is not the type of person to lie. He has no reason to. Terry himself is an unbelievable character. There’s so much to know about Terry.
I don't believe that Gary Spiers would carry a knife.He had stated that anybody pulling a weapon on him would suffer a severe lesson in brutality.I know people who were taught by Gary and they all said he was an absolute gentleman and a great bloke.I also find it hard to believe that outsiders could take over the Liverpool club doors.I have lived on Merseyside for over 70 years and have heard many tales of legendary doormen such as Gary Spiers and Terry O'Neill but never heard of any trouble with Mr.Capes.
Finally a credible report among all these comments.
@@johndevries7122you said you were glad Gary was dead in another post you plum 🤷🏽
I worked with Gary in 1982 on the doors in St Helens,Park Lane Club, Fleece Hotel, and Cindy's which was like something out of Road House.
As a scouser I thought everyone else was a dick if they weren't from Liverpool 😮...how wrong I was ..I was 21 ..the youngest doorman out of the 10 of us on the door. I was inexperienced, but Gary always has my back ...when I first met him he said to me what's ya sport digger ...
I would drive him from club to club in St Helens in my vw beetle..fuck ...when he got on to the passenger side the car would tilt to one side 😂...
One of the nicest fellas I have ever met...kind, caring, thoughtful...but never ever fuck with this guy.
Lew Yates one hard man had the licence for Park Lane night club ...he was up to fight Lenny McLean but it didn't turn out...as hard as Lew Yates was he was so weary of Gary...you could feel the tension when they were together.
Lew Yates is still alive ..he must be 80 years old now ...but you wouldn't want a rumble with him even now.
I worked on the doors in wigan years ago on the cheers bar and gary came in one night and it kicked off big time. Gary gave us a hand and the result was a load of lads lined up snoring on the floor outside. He was a top bloke. I remember him wearing jesus sandals and his finger nails sharpened to points, like claws
gary use to keep 2 nails long incase he had to stick them in the eyeball if need be
@@pauljones8218I know bro 👍
Met the man on many occasions and had my fridge cleared out by him more than once. Last meeting was when we bumped into each other in the Cherry Tree next to Arrow Park hospital on a Sunday lunchtime, I was ordering lunch...tap on the shoulder...Little Dig, how you doing....I'll get this. He then promptly ordered one of every starter on the menu for himself and then said..what are you having? Class guy....Does anyone else remember the Baboon story?
A popular Maori greeting is, "Hey bro, you got any food?"
brilliant would love to hear the baboon story
Geoff Capes was a police officer himself he would of had him arrested. He definitely wouldn't of been slashed and walked away. N
Yes mate you'd hve thought so although I have seem his son worked door for him also 6,5 n 22 stone and he was heavily involved in cleaning pubs up. Wid be interesting to hear geoffs take
Why is the word 'have' so difficult for so many people?
@@seanscanlon9067 It wasn't appropriate in the statement
@@enquirer2.0 I have never heard the story until I listened to your podcast. I remember big Geoff Capes he was a police sergeant whilst he was competing for the strongman competition's. I just don't see him letting someone slash him across the arse and not doing anything about it. He wasn't a criminal so for him it wasn't grassing and he wasn't known as a top fighter he was a strong man who certainly would over power most men but top fighting men would be a different story. I don't believe it happened unless Geoff Capes says it did.
@@edborris6934 Would have rather than would of.
I met Gary Spiers several times in the 90s, and on all occasions he was intelligent, affable, and gentlemanly. I do not know the detals of the alleged razor episode, but I suspect Gary would only use a weapon in anger if it was dropped or confiscated from an attacker. Mr Spiers was certainly capabe of extreme violence, but I saw ZERO evidence that he was a thug or a volatiile psychopath. Quite the contrary, he was a very effective antidote to those conditions.
🤡
keep up the bullshit
@@johndevries7122 seriously interested in why you think this is ''bullshit''. Do you think Gary Spiers was just some sort of highly-trained thug, or a hermit who never met people despite his work as a teacher and doorman?
@Ardwick-Crome True enough. But as a very sought-after teacher, and as a guy who stood on doors three or four nights a week, there are bound to be literally thousands of people who ''knew'' him from the busy Southport/ Wirral/ Liverpool/ Wigan club and martial arts scenes. Plus he was the sort of guy people remember - not exactly inconspicous. :)
@@johndevries7122what
Another great upload
on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks mate top man
0:56 That's one hell of a photo. Lord Lucan Bruce Springsteen and the Yorkshire Ripper all at the same do.
LOL
I HAVENT HEARD ONE PERSON SAY A BAD WORD ABOUT HIM IN EVERY BIT OF FOOTAGE IVE EVER SEEN SO THAT MEANS HE IS LEGGIT SHIT 💪 I TAKE MY HAT 🧢 OFF TO YOU MR SPIERS
Capes was a good man and it's sounds like he was trying to do a good thing. Gary Spiers sounds like a bully.
Have you ever met him ?
My wife was part of an event, where he was opening a new sports shop, and as an employee had the unpleasant duty of keeping the celebs fed and watered.
He was the most obnoxious, arrogant, and thoroughly narcissistic person she had ever met.
Demanding , and clicking his fingers, getting loud when he wanted stuff……
Typically bullying behaviour, from our “ national treasure “
Long may he stay off our tv screens.
@@HarryHewitt-lh8xx Too bad your wife went through this. I know him pretty well and only know him as a gentle giant.
@@johndevries7122
Maybe he was just having an off day….we all have them.
Good to see at the beginning of this video images of two legendary nightclubs in Romford Essex, Hollywood & Secrets and the clubs head of security Mr Mick Kelly. He was hard but always fair. There are a few videos on You Tube of him talking about his time on the doors.
I worked with Geoff’s firm when it was called ‘Capes & Cullingtons’ around Chatteris and Surrey in the 90’s.
I can’t see it myself , Geoff was a magistrate for years so can’t see him letting that go .
geff had to let it go after gary droped him to the floor and chased after him slashing him on the arse . gary had powerful freinds all over the world even people in high places say no more .gary went easy on jeff as jeff had the police on his side gary had freinds in high places on both sides off the law theres more to gary spiers than we ever get to know about
The problem with gary was that he watched too many action films. He also loved his food too much rather than looking after himself.
Gary Spiers was a trained killer in the making . He trained in Japan under the most strict of conditioning & training of top karate masters .
Also he was a trained merchanionary who had worked i believe for C.I.A. at one time . Story saying he was dropped of by the C.I.A. to bring back a War Lord who had his own army in the juggle . When he came back into the C.I.A.office they asked where was the prisoner for interrogation ? Gary Spiers threw the man's ears on the table & said he is listening !
Mercanionary can be sociopaths & take body parts as memorbial of action . Very sadistic . I was aware that a photo of him was in a dojo getting seen by some sensei's where he was doing the splits with each foot on a 2 decapicated heads . I was asked did i want to see? I said no thanks .Gary Spiers was atrained killer & Street fighter & highly trained martial artist . His conditioning & stamina & will would give such a big advantage over street fighters or boxers or known hard men . He was fearless. Him & Terry O'Neil must of been some team together . Geoff Capes had a very lucky escape lol
Yep. I don't believe he was an Islander, or a lot of the stories. You meet a lot of fantasists in the door game, hard as they might be, and there's a lot of fake Islanders/Maoris/Aborigines in OZ and NZ. To quote an Aborgine pal of mine "You're not an aborigine, you've just got a beard and a broken nose, mate."@@johnbrooke9948
Gary was a top BS merchant. In reality he never fully grew up. All those action films he watched while gouging on food seemed to warp his mind to a point where he was detached from reality.
If my memory serves me right I think capes was involved with a company called Higgins security, they came to Newcastle in the early 90`s and yes it all centered around Legends club/bar. They didn`t last long and were basically run out of town, it was before Viv got shot.
Wraith would have still been in his short trousers then.
It wasn’t called Capes Uk originally, it was Capes and Cullington. His partner was a chap called Paul Cullington. Higgins (Mark) worked for Leisuresec with Cusack Gordon.
I once met Gary in a night club in Liverpool which my family owned in very late 80s he always wore sandals/flip flops so he child whip them off and kick you in the head which was his party piece . Truly respected and feared man
haha I worked on the doors in wigan and he used to come in the bar i worked on in his sandals, just sitting at the bar usually eating something
@@ste8225 Late 80s early 90s ???

I've only just remembered this legends name after 20 odd years. I saw him knock a man out with a back hand outside a club in wigan i the 90s.
enjoyed all the gary spiers videos just make them a bit longer and more about him thanks
enjoyed theses videos on gary spiers are you doing any more videos on gary spiers there loads more stories on gary
Another fantastic informative video!
I heard spiers also worked as a mercenary.
Bugger me, I used to drink, excessively, in Legends and Rosies amongst many others in the toon. Oblivious to this side of things. Never had a bit of bother.
For a further antipodean connection Ray (sugar foot) Sefu and Mark Hunt have a legion of stories behind them.
What was the story behind an alleged 'straightener' involving Gary Spiers and local Liverpool knucklehead, Eddie Palmer...?
gary ... 1 ... palmer .. 0 ... toes up ..
Thank you.
Enjoyed this thank you
if you ve ever been shoved by a strongman or shot-putter, you go flying. At least Capes ,made his living legitimately. I dont think Spiers can be called a " Legend" in teh same way as he was known for beating up people who had a bit too much to drink. Wow. Top level legend there....
Isn’t that the problem…a few too many and we think we’re 10 men!!!
I met Capes when I did the 'race for life' at school, and Capes came to let us have a photo with him.
He was ignorant, miserable, and unwilling to even speak to us.
That said, slashing somebody with a razor is a b1tch move, if Gary was such a hard man surely he should have been able to deal with Capes with just his fists.
@@DjNikGnashers gary sent geff capes to the floor took his legs from under him and jeff ran away and gary chased him and slashed him with a razor as a warning gary had to go easy on jeff because had police backing
you obviously know nothing about Gary he was a legitimate hardman didn't need a weapon the guy was a weapon and would back down from nobody and was very feared and would smash Geoff capes easy
@@DjNikGnashers Same here, he came down to host a strongest man contest held at the Pier Approach in Bournemouth in the 80s. He was a complete dick throughout the event and even started making racist jokes about Greg a fellow competitor who was from St Lucia. He didn't realise Greg who was 6 foot 6" was a good amateur boxer and local doorman. Greg ended up pushing Capes over onto his ass, much to all our amusement and he cut out the crap after that,
My old man and Garry were friends through Karate 🥋🥋🥋 THEY DON'T COME LIKE THE LAST SAMURAI'S WHAT A GENERATION OF GENERAL'S...
Another top quality story mate,bit disappointed that you didn't use your dodgy accent again!!!! keep on smashing it mate
😂😂😂😂
Met Geoff once, he was very friendly and chatted away. Massive man. Hands like a bunch of bananas. I wanted to tell him the joke about him opening a shop selling capes; called Geoff’s Capes. But didn’t. Maybe for the best…
Gary spiers told me mate that he once sparred with Bruce lee.
Correct.. Viv ran security on many pubs and Clubs. Once he died there was a power vaccum up here.
I met Capes in Chiatchurch, N.Z. at the games in 1972 I think it was. Spiers was a Kiwi Maori i tjink.
I use to collect the money from clubs in envelopes with club names on then count it up with gary and mike lyons . Never did i c any of that taking extra money ????
Tibbs’ were well known and many a deal were struck in the back office next to changing room!!!
Legends is still there now had some good nights out there
There's no company called Capes UK recorded at Companies House.
That thumbnail must have everyone fooled!. I thought they were both capes 😊
The first time I heard of Gary was in Terry's magazine.fighting arts... which U have shown a picture of....I was told Terry regretted bringing Garry over.true or not I couldn't say...
A 'story' is just a tale told by someone. That doesn't mean there is any factual basis in it even if it's repeated by someone else. I'm struggling with this particular 'story' because it sounds like a bit of a stretch to me.
Capes a pudding and spiers is a bully fraud who fights dirty
Any chance of some info on the late Wayne Hurren.....👍
Great video mate
This Gary seems like a very interesting character.
Hard to know what's true or not though as he wasn't exactly honest about his martial background
Lol I can imagine Gary Spiers doing that.
Especially thst phrase he used, lol
Great video again mate
🥊👊
Thanks Matt crazy life he had think we only scratched the surface il call u about something I've been told I'm trying verify
Instead of getting a bus to the hospital, he harnessed up and towed it there!
Gary was a solid man..i spent precious time with him and got to know a different side to him.he suffered with his weight and a few other bad habits which he was in denial about..he relied on natural strength and his weight..i knew it would prove fatal in the end..i wasn.t wrong he was a true character and a good all round fighter..the last time i saw Gary i really was concerned about his health and breathing he said he would go back to Japan and spend time training and sorting out his weight..it never happened and sadly his heart would eventually show him that enough was enough😊
Was it not Capes and Cullington? Changed to Capes UK later
Don't take any shit in Liverpool mate
i met geoff once at a strongman event in my town nice bloke
I live in the Highlands ,and way back in the 80s, Geoff Capes came up to invergordon to present the trophies at our local highland games.
A guy i know, who is known to be a right hand-full, told me a story that him and his mate were shouting abuse at Geoff and the girl he was with.They were both steaming drunk.
At the end of the games, they saw Geoff, in the distance and start giving him and the girl a right mouthful of abuse.
Geoff was so far away they thought they were safe enough, but he couldn’t believe how quickly Geoff could run, who then caught them up and battered the living daylights out of the both of them!
So, thats his claim to fame....getting battered by Geoff Capes😂
Big Bri Cockerill knocked out Spiers, Capes and Ian Freeman, breaking their jaws in three places each with his famous corkscrew uppercut. Capes was so impressed he gave his world’s strongest man title to Big Bri, and Freeman awarded his UFC belt to Cockerill
@@tonywilson4339 impossible, Big Bri is the world’s strongest man and the sixth hardest man in the world of all time, and undefeated. He says so in the McIntyre documentary.
bollocks
I heard he also got a 10% discount card for sports direct and Geoff's lunch money that day
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@heimihenderson4543 😂😂😂😂😂😂👊👊
Capes was a policeman, someone would need to look into when he retired if only to help understand whether these events happened.
I remember he was a copper!
I agree I've done more research and capes son was 6,5 and 22 stone who fronted a lit of doors maybe was his son?
I was thinking that I thought he was a copper
Just stories
One hundred percent he had a door firm I remember. Also he was the village copper in a village called Wittering. He was okay as coppers go
Steve wraith couldn't fight sleep , Horrible little rodent ,
I met Geof capes once at a funeral of a nieghbour.
Geof was named after him.
Geoff Capes was a copper for ten years before becoming a pro strongman so he had more than just a reputation as a strong man to rely on when he moved into security, he may have gotten his ass handed to him but i doubt he was unfamiliar with dealing with hardmen.
Capes was not your average Joe . 😂😂
He was 6 feet 5 inch tall and almost 320 lbs with tree trunk like arms and incredibly strong too .
And he was from the country side and grew up
On a farm and was not a SOFT City person .
I don’t think Spiers had the strength to take him down .
And Spiers was not some pro MMA heavyweight fighter like Ngannou or Brock Lesnar .
He just knew a bit of Karate . 😂
That does not mean that he was a pro fighter .
Interesting
Dangerous Job, in my City Glasgow a Doorman slung someone out and the Guy came back with a Sword and Murdered him. 😎🇬🇧

@@enquirer2.0 thanks mate. Took me by surprise that
Apparently Geoff Capes had a bit of an ego and a temper. He had to be put in his place by Pat Roach one time at a Strongman or Highland games event.
There's a blast from the past. Old "bomber" was pretty legit by all accounts.
Pat roach wat a legend love here that story
Seriously tough man pat roach , wrestler, judo black belt and unlicensed fair ground boxer . Used to bodyguard as well before his acting career took off
It was the original Britain’s strongest man in 1979 , the story is Geoff kept complaining about the squat events favouring shorter men ( capes was 6’6’’) pat apparently got fed up of listening to him and told him to be quiet.
@@speckles82my uncle RIP trained him back in the 60' could be 70's. Roach was huge, had a bit of an ego on him too

@@jimsmith1998 Yeah I know, he shit himself when a G.I called Barry who was half his size, fronted him on Mulgrave Street, he's pretty tough when holding an axe 😡
Spiers was a thug. His constant swearing made him totally unfit for a dojo let alone being a teacher. Also his martial arts technique as shown in videos was very limited to very bad. He could be classed as a disgrace in a traditional martial arts environment as he was offensive and he had no clue about the code of honour embracing the martial arts.
Sounds a bit generalised to be true. Another disaffected muscle mary?
@@jzkramer Very specific. He understood nothing about the code of ethics associated with legit traditional Martial Arts. People who admire him for his street fights, beating helpless drunks, don't understand the difference between a Martial Artist who bows and shows respect and a street thug. Furthermore I seriously wonder how he would fare against a worthwhile opponent with all that fat he was carrying and his very unhealthy general condition which sent him to his grave.

@@misakiyoshida Bouncers flatten people who cannot fight. Adding alcohol only makes it worse for the victim. Seriously I can see nothing heroic about flooring an intoxicated disoriented dazed drunk who cannot fight back even when sober.
Very interesting video. Was expecting to hear that Gary wiped the floor with Capes - who I’m sure could handle himself but think Gary might’ve been a bit too much for him. Like you say, be interesting to hear Capes’ version of events.
Would love to see a video on Ian Freeman, the MMA fighter from Sunderland.
Keep up the good work 👍

I have a mate whose surname is Speirs where the E comes before the I and is pronounced like Spears, but there is also a name Spiers that rhymes with fires and where the I comes before the E.
So is this just a spelling mistakes and Spiers was meant to be Speirs and is pronounced like Spears, or was Gary's name actually Spiers that rhymes with fires?
Rhymes with fires is the right way mate
He's Maori of course he's not going to be intimidated 😊
Frank Brennan who trained with Andy sherry and Terry O’Neil
A bit like Big Daddy coming in to sort out Paul Sykes
probably realised that Karate doesn't work in reality a bloke Geoff Capes size, the reason I gave it up
If Spiers had to use a knife then either the fight was definitely not one sided or he didn't feel confident to go hand to hand? Strange one
I was in a cinema in Peterborough and capes was sitting in front of me and a little boy of about ten split is drink on him and he went mental the boy was crying and ran off, changed my mind on him after that
Can you do something on Steve Morris? I trained with him once and when he hit me in the chest my legs buckled and I felt like I'd been electrocuted.
