This clip of legendary hardman (and prisoner) Paul Sykes is 86 seconds very well spent
And when they say this clip never gets old, they really mean it.

He is Paul Sykes, who was at various times a boxer, weightlifter, debt collector, prisoner and much else besides. He died aged 60 in 2007.
Troubled life doesn’t quite do it justice, but producer Roger Greenwood who made a documentary about him in 1990 said he was “a fascinating character and incredibly intelligent”.
Glorious! Just glorious! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
