3000 fights!,what a ridiculous statement to make!😅
Rare example of someone whos not arrogant just because they have power , not afraid to show his kindness ....but definitely dont take it for weakness. What a legend ...loved listening to every word.
Marcus, you come across as the epitome of a hard man with a sense of right and wrong, how I wish there were more guys like you to impart that knowledge and being to the youngsters of today, good luck mate.

Kevin I have to completely agree with you. I think there needs to be a part 2, but not sure what they would talk about as everything was covered
I did 25 years in security in nightclubs on the door and inside, down in Tasmania/Australia. I have watch alot of doco's on people doing security work, but this is the best one I have ever seen. I have seen and been thru a fair bit myself but nothing like Marcus. And what a bloody awesome bloke and very humble.

No nonsense just straight up honesty.. nothing to prove, lived it, survived it, sharing wisdom.. Good work the pair of you🙏🏽
Wow what a life! I could listen to his stories for days! I'm glad he has a good head on his shoulders and has stayed on a good path. Such a funny and genuine guy.
Best thing I’ve seen on here for years. Been in the pub trade for 35 years and can relate to a lot of this. Love how he came across
Worked in margate clubs 5 years ago, met marcus 1 time as he does the doors around the thanet area, very respectful and well mannerd, happy to help the bar staff out with any issues. Not a bully at all like people saying, my dad worked for him back in late 90s in the medway area as a doormen for club zone and a couple others, top geezer

Loved this one Dodge. You really do get the conversation to flow. Likeability shines through.
Absolutely incredible interview, first time watching Dodge and he has asked some really good questions, questions that most people want to know but questions that most interviewers won’t ask, I’d never heard of Marcus before until watching this but what an absolute old school gentleman with a lot of wisdom and knowledge, having worked on doors myself many years ago I can relate and I’m now a fan and have to research more on this legend
Absolutely loved this Dodge, you're amazing at this with your guests. Marcus is brilliant and I wish this didn't have to end. Would love to see him on again with more stories.

What a great guy, we used to call them 'Salt of the Earth' but just a genuine good guy who you would want on your team. These people have so many interesting stories to tell - thanks Dodge.
Outstanding video with Marcus definitely needs to be a part 2 it's enthralling
Mate this is the best podcast yet! this guy is the real deal, and not one of his stories did he gloat or Or act the Hardman super humble and the stories were believable like I was there we need a part 2 too many guys doing the UK podcast circuit mate keep bringing guys like Marcus.
Brilliant podcast, comes across as a really decent guy. Ive been to a good few weekenders and the door staff have been as he described, proper sound, it makes the crowd police them selfs. Lookimg forward to part two.
Top marks on this one Dodge! Very intelligent and erudite man.. crazy story and really well told, great stuff Marcus! i'll be here for part 2.. 👍🏻✌🏻
ANOTHER great, fascinating and insightful interview. Love it. What a great bloke. Fascinating, and I cant wait for the second part.
Great interview, great work as per, i think this is the way forward with interviewing people via this type of platform putting the major TV companies to shame. Talk Sport, ESPN etc and your good self are changing the way interviewing is done. :)
Love these podcasts. Look forward to part 2.
Some wonderful memories, Marcus really is a genuine kind man that does so much for Charity as well, he is also well respected.
A nice humble guy Marcus and the best interview i've seen to date, thanks.
Well spoken genuine guy who does not try to look hard.....he is just a proper hard man.

Another brilliant interview, Dodge, just getting better and better 👍👍👍
From working the doors for 16 years/close protection and being an SIA trainer for 6 years and seeing loads of doorman documentaries, this is a solid representation of a doormans life.

That’s because marcos was the boss. When I set up in 1990 the real trouble comes and it’s not confined to the club. It’s 24/7 fronting up. It could be my life he’s talking about@@ultratunisiafallegua4917
Dodge your recent video interview with Marcus, delivered a wave of nostalgia, invoking fond memories of the old days, Marcus, an old school bouncer, is known for his gentlemanly demeanour and professionalism and his don’t mess attitude. Having worked with him on the doors during the late 80's and into the 90's, I can testify to his exceptional character and strong work ethic. Marcus mentioned in your interview that he took up Aikido, and I had the privilege of being the Aikido instructor during that time. Those were truly good times, filled with camaraderie and memorable experiences. Marcus surrounded himself with a group of outstanding Guys, and we were a tight-knit team. Aikido aligned perfectly with Marcus's values and his approach to handling challenging situations on the job. He incorporated the principles of Aikido into his work as a Head Doorman, utilising techniques that prioritised de-escalation and diffusing conflicts without unnecessary force. As I reflect on those years, I can say with confidence that Marcus was an exceptional doorman to work with. I have fond memories of that time, and I genuinely wish Marcus all the best in his future endeavours. His impact on the team and the industry is not easily forgotten. I told myself I would not write war and peace but there is so many good things to say about Marcus, All the best Big Guy
