R.I.P Dave Courtney absolute legend 🙏
“I gave the England team talk before the 1966 World Cup final and that’s why we won.” - Dave Courtney. 😂
Hahaha when he was 7
"Not only did I give the SAS tactical advice before we went into the Iranian Embassy in 1980 but I also loaned them blokes and weapons" 😅
You sure that wasn't Brian Cockerill? :P
The English version of Gianni Russo lol.
@@guntherbeckman1257 l
The guy is a cross between Dr Evil and Zippy from Rainbow.
nb7 9uk 😂
You mean George from rainbow and jimmy savile
Throw in a bit of Tehwway tibbs an we’re good to go.
😂
😂 😂 😂
*"I'm multi racial myself, my wife is Jamaican"* 😂 😂 😂 😂
dear god😂😂😂😂
Same as me I got a black and white tv 😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@discodaveschannel8226 me too, I've got a Chinese postman
So is his boyfriend
Oh how I cried laughing at that, like a little Britain sketch 😂
When I first saw this video, the first thing I thought was "can't wait to read the comments section". 😅😅😂😂😂😂
Great shout about av slope.Felt exact same.
Yeap thought the exact same👌😂😂
same here, didn't know he was still around.
Spot on 😂😂😂
Too right. The last video re his prowess at Flatpack Furnite Assembly gets things going for me.
The reliability of Dave Courtney's anecdotes can be ranked somewhere between those of Carl Beech and Jay from the Inbetweeners
Hahahaha!!!!
I give more credit to random graffiti scrawled on the inside of bar toilets.
@@KingFluffs I give more credit to pornhub telling me hot women in my area want to have sex with me.
Awesome loll
@TheGooners11 If you think about his situation it would have to be 50/50 or 60/40 or similar either way,that would ensure that any slip-ups that could convict or connect him to any future criminal case can be put down to 'artistic license' or vived imagination to promote his books etc.
“You’d break in to someone’s house and leave em a fiver!” 🤣🤣🤣
The Steven Segal of the “underworld”. 😂
"I've been flying helicopters for like 87 years"😂
Legal is now Fatter I think!
Couldnt have put it better myself...yip dave is the bullsido of "gangsters"..the fake martial artist and who is a grand master of no touch, but dave claims he touched everything from guns,banks to your mrs.
John Pappan I feel like I’m the only one that knows where you got that from Lol Tom Segura is one of the greatest of all time
@@fireboigotti2647 As long as one person smiled, it was worth it.🤘
"choose the weapon you don't mind doing the bird for" What excellent life advice...
😂😂😂
Agreed. I thought a deadly weapon was a deadly weapon tho no matter what, or maybe it depends where you are.
Its actually good advice. The only smart thing I've heard him say. He is apparantly a crime lord but says he doesn't understand why you "give" away cocaine.
@@lukethompson4260 even he'd piss himself laughing if he heard he was a crime lord
😂😂😂😂
Dave Courtney robbed my house once... The ashtray was empty and my cat was pregnant !!!
tickled me this did
@@Ricky_Super Jack was the, or is the, now pregnant cat.
@@Ricky_Super me neither
And your thongs were gone too
dib picker class
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!
That's the truest statement on here lol
People can say what they want sitting behind a computer screen in there mums box room
The irony of this automatically playing after a video on David Hunt ….
Watch the full 10 episode sit-down between Sammy The Bull and Michael Franzese here: mafiastatesofamerica.com/
This interview was a real mistake as this guy was and always has been a paid police informer In short hes a laughing stock in britain who stood as a prosecution witness against his own stepson who beat the shit out of him
Hi do rember that from some did is stepson get killed
This old man is a Nob making money talking hard dickhead
@@matrixstrobe1176 yeah gangster 🤣det collecter only det this tit did was blue giro for snitching .and collecting provie money around old peoples home
Come on David he's conned you .I thought you smarter than that .please tell me he payed you a lot of money and you didn't pay this tit
THE GANGSTER CODE: 1/ SHORT HAIR 2/ SHINY SHOES 3/ BE NICE TO YOUR MUM
Oh yeah, no swearing in front of women. Lol
And don't hit women ! Haha !
Howd you forget the most important one? Don't tell tales
Bo Zi it’s a joke lol
I talked about his in my main comment on here, to me being nice to my mum means not getting involved in crazy shit like this lol
wtching this in the UK. Patrick you handled the slang brilliantly lol. The pop up explanations, to me, are hilarious. Great interview.
This English Gangster is a Comedian & my first laugh of my morning! Lol!
'no one had nothing, you'd break into someone's house and LEAVE them a fiver. You felt terrible'
I diedddd lol
@@kadzdaman8474 really, you died ?
@Mark w You chat shit..
@@ThemrRewind This prick say's he worked for the Krays he was fucking 9 when they were sent to jail? He's that full of shit his eyes are brown.....
@1878EFC2008 I know but he wasn't one of them he was a bin man and chancer ask Albert Reading what he thinks of Courtney....
His comment about coke is probably the truest description I have ever heard
Nah, the only reason he never did coke was because people typically don't share their gear with dickheads
Nah cause if you do enough coke to get twacked then you are definitely high and definitely feel it. He acts like it just makes you feel normal. No if you do a couple tenths as a normal person you're gonna be high as hell if you have a tolerance and do half a gram to a gram you're gonna be high. He probably did half a tenth or less and didnt feel anything but a lil energy like an espresso would give and thought it was shit. You do enough and you experience a hell of a euphoria that many other drugs cant rival
Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim My thoughts exactly, feckin snitch can’t keep it shut
Zack Thayer the more you do the worse it feels. After a gram or two the only good feeling u get from it is when ur racking up.
So true tho
This is the most comically unique interview I've seen in a while. 😂😂😂🥃 With a touch of class
Patrick Bet~David is the BEST interviewer out! The way he gets his guests to open up without forcing the tempo or vibe the conversation makes his interviews feel like two lost friends reconnecting and shooting the shit! I love the diversity of his guests SaLuTe & KEEP ⬆️ the PHENOMENAL work Patrick 👏 🙌 🤘💯
David Courtney is a cartoon character. Interviewer see this early on.
Dave Courtney. A legend in his own mind !!!!!
He was such a legend McDonald’s named a burger after him
I know Courtney promotes himself and he was never a big time gangster but he genuinely did know most of faces in the 70s and 80s he knows how that world works he's been on the edge of crime all his life dabbling in everything
@@michaelharrison3602 yeah right. Car dealer and pound shop Terry Tibs. Being a jock I'm about as scared of a "London gangsta" than I am of the Burger King I'm about to munch. I slap Londoners about for a pastime.
@@thegoodthebadthegypsy8785 it's Burger King that does the whopper
@@thegoodthebadthegypsy8785 😆
"Im multi-racial myself, my wife is Jamican" thats not how race works mate...
DirtyyChimp .he doesn't care how it works... he only cares how it works for him..that's what makes him who he is.
@@daniellionheart3788 Yeah, that doesn't wash.
schmatever I really don't care what washes so I know it dose wash.
DirtyyChimp He is good in all the estates though everybody rates him.. He must still knock it out hahaha
@Chief Sunna jesus you're a miserable bastard haha
I first met Dave when we were both 12yrs old at Forest Hill school. Some people say some shit about him. He's totally a genuine bloke. I'm one of he's oldest mates.
No you're not
Cool story. Tell it again.
Sosa, phoned Dave, for backup, before storming Tony Montana's mansion! 🤣🤣
1.3 ford escort... talk to me And thats how you do business with terry tibbs
Lol u watched it
shady sapper ladders talk to I got a guy in Russia who owns a ladder museum talk to me
🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Made me laugh far more than it should have done!!
Terry Tibbs was actually funny
One of the best interviews I’ve watched. Scary to think this man literally had me in tears laughing but could still have me in tears for other reasons. Unbelievable interview Dave
You are easily amused.
@@chopper8357 Well you watched it, didn't you, you plonker
Tears? He's soft as shite🤣
"I'm not glamourising crime... I'm glamourising DAVE!". I really found that very funny.
Never had much time for DC,but i now find him very entertaining with great intellect, truth, and honesty of what's what in that world.enjoyed the interview.
He's changed quite a bit since I'm too sexy for my shirt!
Ahahabahahaa
😂
😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣
😂 😂 😂 👏🏻
Ahahahahahah
Thanks again for the great content, I could listen to his story’s all day, would love a PART 2!
An outstanding interview...DC sharp, funny and tells u as it is..
Great stories and smart philosophies! So true! Cheers to Dave!
In the UK we all know how “gangster” he actually is.
mike his biggest weapon was his phone 999 he was a protected police informer. He was aloud to do certain things for information on others true facts
@mike he would not of run the doors if he was a soft cunt. if you successful you get haters in uk
As about 'gangster' as Capt. Kangaroo, huh?
I’m sure valuetainment and David have done their research and wouldn’t interview him if there wasn’t some validity to his reputation.
Dylan stanford reputations aren’t always accurate
I like Dave. His self delusion and megalomaniac personality is entertaining to me
Dan B that’s all he was A JOKE amongst the criminal world everyone likes a Vilage idiot to make them fill good about there selfs .
Handbags and glad rags. 😂😂😂
Just discovered who you are about two weeks ago, Love your work patrick, great content great attitude. Keep it up
Best interview on this channel...this guy is great stuff!
Yeh😂😂😂😂😂😂get a life sad Twat
Hardest thing getting busted on coke, telling cops no comment - pissed myself laughing at that.
I know lol do you think that’s his way of saying he’s a snitch 😯
Lovely Jubbly how is saying “no comment” being a snitch? Lol
@@DoktrDub It's what he said in the next sentence is what he's referring to. ''No comment. Okay, I'll tell you a bit!
Its bullshit you dont get questioned while under the influence, been banged up many times wired n worse thing is been off ya box in a cell pacing unable to get your head dwn paranoid out ya head
@@theloser4886 😂😂 yeah I know. When I’m off my nut. I can’t even talk. When I get to wired. Wtf is he on about blblblblblblblb 😂. I suppose some people do waffle on it
This was one where I just came for the comments.
I absolutely love this interview!
Another great interview👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Dave Courtney , self proclaimed gangster. That says it all really.
@K L Damn you're thick. "...SELF proclaimed gangster. Says it all really..." How do you not understand you are saying the same thing? Both of you are saying he is full shit but you want to argue KL.
He was old Kent Road bouncer and a debt collector and nothing more than that
@@johnlewis9158 Hes known in south though and respected by many he is good in brikky etc.
@J130 G810 The guys a joke I've no ides why anyone takes him seriously
@Armoured Rat I don't think he's serious do you?
ive been fed up all week and its xmas day and this video shows up on my feed and i havent laughed so much in weeks. thankyou dave courtney
Love Dave Courtney such a legend and was an honour to party with him and Jen back in the day. Such a genuine man ❤RIP 🫶🏽🙏🏾
The King of Bullshit
RIP Dave Courtney.
Dude looks like every englishman I've seen borderline passed out drunk at noon in Mallorca
its where they go on the run too lol
@Andrew Wells you have a few missing brain cells.
Or Benidorm
Aye.. On holiday after a hard weeks graft. Us
Yea hahaha I was the guy in mallorca falling about drunk telling old war stories lol
When this guys movie is made, I hope it's Mike Myers that plays him.
I need sharks with lazer beams on their fricking heads!!!
kernowarty come mini me!!!!!
Terry Tibs (Phonejacker) already has been playing him.
Jimmy Saville would probs play u in a film u maddy
Phillip Schofield would give a good portrayal of him
I always thought there was a vein of honesty in gangsters... How refreshing it is to hear the voice of Dave speak so much truth and be so candid. I have been spouting this stuff for years, only to have it all fall on deaf ears....God bless you Dave :) And God bless the host too :)
🤣🤣
Lol
good interview!
You are a very good listener , assertive and you show respect and get respect and it makes these interviews very good.
Yeah he is good. Doesn't make the show all about him like some.
If all gangsters were like him, the police would be laughing
Criminals and Gangsters love telling their stories.. you've never done something you wish you could talk about but never could? Once you get a certain age you can talk about everything without worrying about what will happen to you
have you seen the police in the UK?
How little you know.
Have we got a keyboard warrior?
Someone said the same to me last week but to be fare I sent my fingers out to war totally fearless of the consequences 👉🏻🦄
Great episode 1🙏🔥🙏
Love this badass interview you guys are awesome thank you Patrick to you and your guest
“Maserati....... Talk to me.”
You sir, just won the internet with that comment. You funny fucker x
Ross Turpin terry Tibbs
Italian marble fireplace..talk to me!
thought i recognized him
RAGNAR77 fackin mural of me as royalty on a horse, side of my aaauuse?? Tawk to me mush
He was just a loan shark who used to bully the poor
@Matt It's really not you know! You have you make sure you spell correctly and that the grammar and punctuation is spot on! It's a lota ard fakin work! Spewing shit is far easier in person.
@Matt Easy to talk shit to a camera. Check out Dave.
I find it hard to believe he was ever even a loan shark anyone who could stand up for theirself would just knock him how did he ever make any money
He wasn't even a loan shark he was a collector for loan sharks.
He did it Dressed like kenny Everett. If they weren't old they'd have laughed at him and told him to fuch off as he looked like a raving Iron.
Dave sadly took his own life on 22.Oct-23. Its said he shot himself , friends of Dave's said he was his usual self the day before visiting his soccer team Charlton ,It's believed Dave had cancer and didn't want to be a burden to his elderly mother, It was a big shock many of his friends made comments like " Why didn't you call me and we could have talked about it" Dave will be a big loss to London and the UK. RIP Dave "OBE Camelot" 🙏🙏
Awesome interview! 👌🏼
Family car, talk to me.
@white death if anyone asks you watched me peel them fuckan potatas for 2 ours
maserati, talk to me
I got a bwand new motor, 50 on the clock it’s going going gone if you don’t take it dave now I’ll need 10 up front and 2 down low that’s a 12 grand car Dave talk to me.
Callon Jesus I’ll tell you what wiggght. I’ll do the whole lat for 4 narrryn narrrrn
Horses 4 Corses haha haha.
Daves always been adept at storytelling.This however, is the most insightful entertaining, sensible and interesting interview of his Ive seen.Nice job Dave.
way ye go and stop talking shite.
Loool Patrick made his thoughts on the guy clear by adding the graphic 'self proclaimed former gangster'
His impression of Frankie Frazer on the cover of his book was hilarious 😆
Really enjoyable one this. His outline about exactly what went wrong with English kids is undeniable.
Mate I absolutely loved this sit down! One of the best by far. You need to have another sit down with him and ask some questions, amazingly I watched the whole thing before I realised that you barely questioned him. Keep up the great work by the way, although we are a small nation I would love to see you interview an Aussie underworld figure like "John Ibrahim" or the like. God bless.
American fan here, get some of those crazy aussies in here. They almost as crazy as us
For what that dude delusional he is a junkie he is high in this interview
Hes dead now he committed suicide
Unbelievable documentary!! 🙏🙏
RIP Dave what a Legend top respect from Sheffield SWFC 👍👊
Hands down the best Valuetainment Interview. Dave is such a good storyteller, that Patrick would for the most part let Dave do all the talking.
@Bret Harts testicle I lived not to far from Dave the bullshitter where he's just a laughing stock
@@thelion43 Like everyone knew the Cray's who are from London in H.M.P?
Dave's a fucking Charlatan
They only way to be a good criminal is to go work for the government.
Definitely.
yeah, the government see a good racket and they move right in. in the us and canada they've taken all the mobs lucrative scams and turned them into tax revenue streams through casinos, lotteries, legal pot , liqour. anything that can make a buck, they want a fucking piece of
@@randyrysdale852 exactly
Yeah join the old bill
Or be a banker
Absolutely brilliant! The London gangsters are no joke. Almost got myself in trouble once asking about it here in the states.
Great interview
Excellent, very good interview 👌👌
Great content as usual.
16:23. When he looks at Dave Courtney and went hmm I pissed myself 😂😂😂 he was probably thinking what’s this guy on about lool
27:12 "They're taking pictures of you from the moon" haha
I love that line. 34:40 So skint you break into someone's house and leave 'em a fiver.
Watch my interview part one at Real Porridge Podcast (Lee Marvin) Thank You for Watching ☀️👑❤️🙏💯
Opportunity costs. Your show is the safe bet. Great content, super interesting.
Patrick is consistent with his content
Amazing. Very candid.
Brilliant interview...
great show !!!
That was bloody great!
Terry Tibs
Quality 😂😂😂
Talk to me
Yeah what you want ?
needs to tickeled
Italian fireplace... talk to me... 😂
Always interesting and entertaining
Brilliant interview
"Biggest employer in America is the Legal system..." Wow, Great point
It is said that 50% of the world's attorneys are American. I don't know what the actual percentage are Americans, but I'd venture to say that number is close to being accurate.
@inside outside upside downside that was kind of his point, it's not in their interest to stop crime because otherwise there wouldn't be enough job, not saying I agree, but you can see the logic
Absolutely loved this. Fecken brilliant 😂😂😂👍👍😁😁
The alarm. That is just priceless. Wow. Haha. Thanks for this interview. ☑️✌🏼
The part about cocaine is hillarious 😂👏🏻
Aint it just........
hes high af in this interview
@ubervation in other interviews he admitted to doing loads of coke,in this he says he don't touch it
He was 7 when the krays got sentenced, talks like he was knocking about with them🤔
Nah but he ran security with them and for their funeral and he was speaking to him whatever is inside prison so if you know you know if you don't
@Trash picking Pete yer the one were we owned most the world what wars has America won couldn't beat Taliban couldn't win Vietnam last war we officially one Argentina they tried to take are island and we decimated them but if you had any knowledge if you knew England now it's been foreigners and certain areas in London Birmingham Manchester Is like living in a warzone but you're uneducated yourl probably part of the southern hillbilly clan where you train for when the black takeover kzhead.info/sun/mdt8YJGcoXl9aHk/bejne.html
@velveteyes79 m8 Dave was a melt but was connected like he's said before he's most dangerous thing was his phone book it makes me laugh coz every one talks shit about him in the comments I think he some fake flamboyant plastic idiot but he's know he's worth a couple million so he's done allrite
@Trash picking Pete bro London had a higher murder rate than new youk u American don't no real ones do but obviously u ain't got a clue if your beefing over areas going to the chicken shop could be game over hit trying to do people on the school run England is predominantly known for stabbings has a lot of shootings but these young boys are stabbing each other daily in the big cities serious s*** but you wouldn't know because you think we drink tea and biscuit
@Trash picking Pete New Jersey has the mafia no doubt. Free teh boys of Bensonhoist.. But cockney crims like Dave might not be the most powerful but there are some serious people in there. You'd have to be on the wrong side of it. But then again who needs to hurt people and so on. Dave and his mates will not go to the lethal option anywhere near as fast as some gangs. But why should, you. Unless you are cruel and have no honor you get gangster respect!? He is liked cos he ain't heartless. Most of the accounts here saying he is this he is that are Hollywood types and coppers.
This was Solid gold!!
Love this guys content
When's Part II? Great hour watching that.
He's so funny and very entertaining. I love him ....bless ya Dave x
Can we get part 2! Could listen to hours more
Nice talk. Thank you.
Dave is the Fredo Corleone of the underworld...……...
He's right about the lack of discipline in the UK today. People had nothing then but society was better even amongst the crims.
It's the same with the modern US mafia
This was pure gold
Aways good to listen to this guy says it as it is ❤️
respect Patrick for your patience
Finally I see who one of my favorite songs was about growing up, David Courtney by Rancid hahahah
