I'm surprised he mentioned that he still had a good amount of money from the smuggling , but he's a "gem", great podcast and I wish him well

The police were chasing him for years and could never catch him out. There’s a lot more to his story that he got upto than he told hear but he ain’t stupid and has no need to tell. Proper staunch and old school, he used to scare the life out of supposedly top villains by just being in the same pub, never threw his weight around or bullied people. My best mate and SIDS nephew died in 99 and he was just the same had an aura and him and sid was tight

Loving the podcasts James, they’re keeping me in good company travelling from Preston to Heysham the last few weeks with work. Particularly enjoyed this one! Look forward to many more!

He was schooled by the old school "Dirty" Den Watts East End royalty. The thing i liked about Nick having drank with him years back in the Old Vic was he wasn't intimidated by the notorious east end villains the Mitchell Brothers i think that lack of fear was instilled from an early age by his mother Dot.

Great interview James, really enjoyed sydney’s story.One of the best i have seen on here.Keep them coming 👌

Sid ! was always an interesting character. I remember the day he arrived at our junior school his family moved down from Hackney. "We used to sing build a bonfire put the teachers on the top* on the last day of term. I forget what Sid set alight at the school but He took it literally. Always a scrapper at senior school, there was him and another lad always seemed to have a scrap every other day at school. Their would be a massive circle of kids watching and the amazing thing about Sid was that for how small and lithe he was he never seemed to get beaten. He was a good footballer, in the school team and I will never forget when he tackled our egotistical PE teacher, the teacher actually squared up to Sid and Sid being Sid he fought back. He was a bright lad and in most of the top sets at Senior school. I would count him as a good friend at Senior School but as we grew older he chose his path and I went in a totally different direction.

Spoof interviews would be hilarious, even if it's a charity event James 🤣🤣🤣

I worked in the Swag Club in 1986 for a couple of years. Sid was our boss and very fair. He is right. There was never any trouble in there. We had a great time working there. Didn’t feel like work.

I ran the door there for Nigel Whistler and Toni Pierson with Dave Wilson as joint Head Doorma, I had a ‘ tear up ‘ of sorts with SIDS brother Billy Sid turned up but as We knew eachother it was sorted out and agreed that Billy was a pain 🤣 Sid came in with ‘ the Boys ‘ he had raced down there with promising Me they would be as good as Gold Sid enjoyed himself So much that night he bought The Swag Club that week from Nigel and Toni

Great podcast 👏

Surely a film in this. What a class story!

James said was that a crash corse referring to his pilots license . Brilliant James.

Podcast was good had couple laughs! This guy paints the picture like Picasso

Best one I've seen on the podcast what a proper geezer what a story someone please make a film on him and ff

Fantastic podcast, With an old school Gentleman, keep out of trouble Sydney, enjoy your Retirement, Cant wait to read your book ,

when someone came to the door you all dived for cover. brilliant, reminds me of the 1980's

Funnily enough Sid was one of the few people that they steered clear off, Sid Wingman was John Moody a very good boxer , he also had an army of associates Tucker / Tate an Rolfe were Not in the same league as Sid by any measure at all The truth about who shot them and why will all be revealed in February in a shocking x3 part documentary Sky The result of a x3 year investigation by Ex Scotland Yard detectives, it’s likely some Essex Police officers will end up in court on Serious charges because of it Whomes and Steele had nothing to do with it at all The were killed because Tony Tucker ripped off his partners in an armoured Van robbery x4 years before, they got caught and he kept that cash refusing to pay them their share. Know you know the truth Pats car site was a mile or two from were Sid lives 😉😎
