I have read all of their autobiographies, and of the gang the only one I liked was Chris. His story was one of redemption, a bloke who was surrounded by the wrong people and ended up in prison for a crime he hadn’t committed and was only involved with because he was a loyal brother and friend. I’m glad life turned out well for him.

Yes. This 💯 A lot of these people on these documentaries are full of shit.

Easily the best crime interview I’ve ever watched on KZread. Honest, insightful, intelligent. And with none of the usual fantasy and bull. Lambrianou’s testimony should be shown in schools where the same culture of crime is creating another generation of young men who will soon screw their lives up forever.

This was legit one of the most powerful interviews to date.

Chris you're a really good bloke. I'm glad you got a normal life going in the end. You look after yourself mate. Legend.

Total respect to Chris. He knew he made the wrong mistake in getting in with the wrong crowd including the Krays he he paid the price by doing time for a crime he didn't commit. This was a truly fascinating insight into the life of a man who was a close associate of the Krays. U can tell he's honest & genuine in everything he said. I'm just glad he finally found happiness & inner peace that he turned his life around. Fair play

I have a lot of time and respect for Chris. Have never met him but I admire what he is doing now and how he turned things around.

These interviews are the best. They’re so interesting keep them coming please

What an amazing interview, thank you for this

I never expected to be shedding a tear of reality to this Gentlemens story. What an inspiration

One of the best interviews I've seen on this channel.

I've met Chris in fact he worked in the rehabilitation centre I was in. In Oxford, I was only young then I was 21, it was called the Ley community drug rehabilitation centre. He's I nice fellow, and tried his best to help people turn their lives around. He would take people to and from court. I Had a few chats with him, and hee never glorified his past and always carried the message he wasn't proud of his past but accepted it was part of his particular journey.

Cant believe his loyalty was rewarded with betrayal, the twins should've absolutely said it was just them that killed him

THE REALEST!! WHAT AN HONEST, STRAIGHT UP DUDE! ALL THESE KIDS ON THE SO CALLED ROAD NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS MAN. LEGEND.

What a great and truthful interview, giving the true insight to the krays.

His stories along with the others who were there at the time are part of British history, their stories need to be preserved, not just the violence but the internal workings of the firm, more about the twins etc to ensure their stories aren't forgotten

Brilliant interview. A very honest man.

Coming from a guy from Brum who done a couple years in Feltham (Mallard Wing) your a good man & no you shouldn’t have gone down. Glad to see your life ended up ok 🤜🏼🤛🏼

God bless you sir. Glad I heard his story ❤

It's nice to see an interview that doesn't glorify all the cr&p that goes on. It's a man who has led a full life not someone stuck reliving a fantasy, Rose tinted version of their memories like so many others who do this type of interview.

I hate the mythologising of organised crime in general and the Krays in particular, so it was interesting to see him say that so much of their legend is nonsense and that he was thrown to the wolves. He seems like a good man who has been on quite a journey.

I've known Chris a long time he's a great guy he made a mistake we all make mistakes he helped me when I really needed someone to talk to I will always be grateful to him.

When I first saw this I thought: 'Oh another gangster involved with the Krays' but it was absolutely fantastic. Gripping and insightful.

These old school gangster interviews are amazing!

I remember watching a video from your channel with Chris and another ex criminal (forgot name). Fascinating history!

I could listen his stories all day, what a nice man.

Brilliant interview.

Chris’ biggest flaw was his loyalties, he was a decent man that got caught up in a world he didn’t belong in and I’m glad he’s doing well for himself now.

That ending speech was powerful 🖤

Brilliant interview! Good Job Chris Lambrianou!!

Me and Chris was on ladbible the last time and you could feel his pain and hear it man was not a Killer he just was in the rong place at the rong time and without thinking of the consequences helped his mates out and for doing that got 15 years and I believe he done everyday of that his a nice guy a proper gentleman

The horrible truth of how you can get dragged into shit that spirals way beyond being within your, lol, comfort zone, finding yourself involved in thinking you might have to shoot a cop because of the corpse you're dumping, that's all too awfully the reality. Be careful who your friends are, and what doors you knock on...

Chris, I opened The Bible too, Luke to be precise, just after being sectioned. God came into my life as well. When I had nothing left, he answered me. Thank you for your honest story. You are good.

This man’s voice ❤ sorry David Attenborough

1st time learning of this man. But what a wise man he is❤️🙏 As a man of God, late in life after many wrong doings, I respect this man. I wish and pray for the best for him and I WILL see him in Paradise with our Lord and our Father❤️😞 Anyone who wakes up and realizes what they’ve done is wrong and asks for forgiveness is forgiven and granted eternal life. I’ve been allowed to hear audibly from our Lord and experience Fathers love. I’d give up anything I have to just have that alone. It’s that blissful. Watch and listen to NDE’s

That's a good hearted man who's learned a lot about himself. The real deal.

A very special, remarkable man, who has made a lasting impression on me.

I was born in Bethnal Green in thev60's, and I've heard endless people romance about them, who haven't got a clue, things like "they only picked on their own" etc, if you had a business you probably had to pay, I have total respect for Chris, who tells it how it is.

Hi Justin, going off strategy no.4. I recently bought a home for £110,000, fully refurbished it (whilst living in it) and it will be worth around £150,000. Once I remortgage am I able to bring any money out of the house if I was to keep it? I bought on a residential mortgage, and would like to remortgage (I did a 2 year fixed) and bring some cash out (hopefully) and use it to buy another property. Any advice would be great! Thanks!!

A man of honour, integrity the real deal , I’ve met old skool men like him many years ago when I came out of mctc Colchester into civi nick first one being hmp Chelmsford.

I find this to fit with my thoughts of these days with no respect from our youth. I had been a football hooligan in the 80/90s until I joined the British military. My fathers friend was a convicted drug smuggler and arms runner. I've always asked exactly who was my father in his day. I teach martial arts now and have had some teens try to get me into fights, I laugh and walk away. The main question is who do these older men know, what are they capable of and how far would they go. Today kids have absolutely no idea who they are acting up against, who they are talking to, disrespect and would they do the same if they had the slightest idea. Respect is a fast disappointing lesson that needs taught again

Wow what a story thought I knew about the krays but to many men got prison for this not good well done fellas for the loyalty that you gave but as said crazy situation that when this happened with R&R friends associates was not given any thing back but still in this life my upbringing is to not be a grass and have friends back let's hope that trust and respect is still a given best wishes to you all xxx

very interesting

Knew his younger brother for a while, also an extremely nice loyal guy. Respect to Chris and all his close friends and family

The name of the pub where they met is called the Blind Beggar. Note the spelling. Good video.

Christopher has a great sound. He would sound great as a commentator!

I have his book it's a good read got it signed too

Isn't this a re upload? Ive heard this one before
