Ian Freeman

[Father Jack Hackett]

Murray

Aye, that's the fella. Fucked if was going to act myself in Ku if I saw him when I walked in. Not that I did anyway, just used to go out for a good time but they took no prisoners in there.

 

[Why sack Durban]

Used to work in Boulevard when Ian ran the doors for Mike. Yeah people got pasted by him but many were asking for it tbf. He was always fine with me (actually worked for him briefly) but not someone to cross, much like the lads I know who run doors now. I haven't seen him for years, but if he is a paramedic then fair play to the lad.

No one is ever asking for it . They are drunk and are by definition vulnerable .

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Is he still a wanker and a bully after finding a good career he is successful in?
Maybe it has changed him?

Nah he is still a complete wanker.

[Shandy drinker]

Town End lad wasnt he?

Red house or tommy ackers

Nah he is still a complete wanker.

Surprised no one has caught up with him and filled him in for his past history

He will have been filled in a few times man. Every bloke who lives that life comes of worse sometimes.

Anyone remember that tv series he was on? Britains Hardest or something presented by Phil Mitchell off Eastenders

 

[42]

No idea who he is, but 90% of bouncers are arsehole bullies so the general theme of comments don't surprise me.

Owen something wasn't it? Black belt who no-one fucked with.

Murray Metal Hand we used to call him, sure he ended up with some MBE or something too, proper hard ****, but didn’t seem one to act it, didn’t look hard, but you knew not to Fuck with him.

 

[butcher]

When he was on the door at boulevards was a nobody then started doing the MMA bollocks a few year later and got a name

 

[Carley Hill wanderer]

That tv show he had was shite.

Him and Phil Mitchell

 

[safc...hic!]

Ian did have a reputation for being a dick while doing door work round town, when you get to know him without an audience hes a canny bloke.
He came around mine the day after his fight at the albert hall still limping from an ankle hold.

 

[SPUFF]

Sounds like the people of Sunderland would sooner have a statue of a bloke shitting into a wickes bucket.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I never get this celebration of apparent local hard men. The majority are just bullies who would shit themselves if they ever crossed proper wronguns

Was once in boro and there was a huge queue outside a book store.
Had a look in and it was a signing by a local nutcase who must be worshipped there. De brick I believe.
Mind theres plenty smbers who love to read this shit for some reason.

 

[Barboza dh9]

Ian’s a local lad(who’s not to popular in Sunderland )who’s done good.His achievements in MMA are Excellent.

sone of his fights are on YouTube and he’s undoubtedly a tough kernt.

Sunderland should celebrate his achievements on such a big stage more.

Aye lives near me

 

[1more]

What about his mate who polices the bridges ??

Sima?

When you need to do mental gymnastics to find a little caveat to a long history of being an arsehole, in order to shoehorn that they're a 'canny lad', they probably aren't a canny lad.
