I had the opportunity to talk with Chopper twice. Once in 1999 I was walking my grocery shop home and he pulled over and asked if I wanted a lift. I recognised him and I am just a girl and he scared me a bit, so I said "no" to the lift, of course. Then in 2009 I was visiting a friend in commission flats in Collingwood and who should be sitting in an arm chair watching David Attenborough on t.v. none other than Mark Chopper Reid. I was formally introduced to him as Mark and he said "g'day Heather, how are you today?". I replied "Good thanks.' and that was the end of the conversation and I left my mate's flat. Me personally, find guys like him rather scary but I do enjoy watching his rants and interviews as he sure was a one of a kind sort of bloke. There won't be too many Chopper Reids ever on the planet. He has a gorgeous little boy as well that I wish does well in his life. There you go, that's my Chopper Reid story. RIP Mark.

Truth is he had everyone fooled, it was all an alias so people couldnt see the sneaky, articulate, man he really was. "The bloke who has the last laugh wins" Chopper Reid.

He's somewhere in between them both he's a bullshitter and a genius at the same time 😂

I remember when Chopper had just finished his sentence at Risdon and he said on TV of Alphonse Gangitano, "I fear 'big' Al is not long for this world" (owtte). He possibly said it a couple of times indicating he knew what was going on. Perhaps it was a taunt or even an instruction. The way he said 'big' he was taking the piss because he mentioned the only place Al was big, was in his own mind. Of course shortly after we all know what happened.

My old mate was in pentridge in the 70s he wasn't on choppers team. They attacked him with a hammer. He never said a bad word about him though and when I asked about the 'informet' rumour. He got abit angry and shut that down. R.i.p chopper. R.i.p Warrick

@Heather Elliott oh yeah liver disease no pain what's so ever Damn y'all are stupid. Chopper actually died of liver cancer as a result of liver failure brought on by hep c. Now I don't kno Anythng about his day to day life as far as his pain level goes dealing everyday with the hep c but he had to under go two liver transplants which im sure were painful then he ultimately died of the liver cancer with tumours all over his liver which I assure u is highly painful even with morphin. Point being he was very much in pain and if u consider that as being the winner well then im not sure what to say but sounds more like karma to me but either way rip chopper he was the best

He was in a lot of pain liver cancer is agony and he was riddled with it. In the last few weeks hed have good hours and bad days but he was on morphine for it, that's what caused him to doze off during other interviews around the same time. The cancer was the size of a melon sticking out of his stomach he shows it in another interview. Lastly he was actually offered a liver transplant but they weren't sure it would work there was more risk of rejection than normal, so he declined to take it so somone else with a higher chance of it not getting rejected could use it.

This was once said of a wayward man. "Bad as his life was, there was much that was good in him, which, with reasonable good fortune, would have led him to affluence and good repute."

Chopper is spot on! I saw Lewis back in the '80's stagger outside the Coburg Pub blind drunk & abuse me like "an idiot" . Lewis was such a tight-ass, he wouldn't even offer a decent bounty to do in Carl Williams. I'm afraid Chopper's right, the Morans were a bunch of dropkicks & I reckon Mark Moran was a closet homosexual too!

RIP man... We really loved you. my dad has nothing but nice things to say about you... I hate my dad but when we talk about you its all about you. Everyone is here for your wife and boys.

I was kidding around making jokes with a lady sitting next to me until I saw him, then I went quiet. He was called in by the doctor “Mr Mark Read”. I was like “I am gonna wait for him to come out and ask for a photo” and I did! His partner Margaret took the pic for me.

Chopper's a cool guy, i met the bloke about 5 years ago walking up Johnston st Collingwood one morning.

Chopper calling anyone else "two bob nothings" is hilarious. Mark Moran lived in a million dollar mansion, back when a million was a lot of money, and drove expensive cars and had pockets bursting with $100s. Chopper spent about 8 months outside of prison his entire adult life, trying to take Judges hostage. A great story teller, but a nothing in the criminal world outside of pentridge.
