He’s in deep with Cockerill, big Bri thinks he ripped him off.

He looked like he’d been hammering the bag. Said it’s a nervous twitch .... same excuse as a famous boxing promoter.

He addressed it online. I think he is, personally.

I’ve read his books on Duffy and Sykes, they are fairly informative on the subjects and pretty boring over all. I watched a thing on Amazon Prime it was Jamie Boyle sniffing his way around Duffys old haunts. My impression of him is he’s a wrong un. I find it difficult to listen to him and really only paid attention to Manny Burgo. Lee Duffy would have been a nitemare to be around and from what I’ve read it sounds like he got a well deserved end.

Is Brian still capable? He looks terrible on the bags or pads but I understand he was a very tough man in his day?

I gave a little story in his book The Whole Of the Moon. It was a positive outlook on Duffy regarding a stolen radio.

Watched the film The man who shot Hitler and then the Bigfoot, worth a watch not exactly uplifting but entertained me.

Has something happened in regards to himself? He has often said he gets loads of hate mail etc so I presumed that's why he removed his accounts etc on FB.

I don’t know him mate. Just read a couple of his books. What little I’ve seen of him online, he doesn’t come across great to me. Hero worshiping and making excuses for a couple of mad men.

I think Jamie has found a niche especially up his way Middlesbrough/Darlington where there are and have been lots of villians. I told Jamie to write a book about Shaun Cummins, that would have been an interesting read if done well

It's one thing to write a book about Paul Sykes but I don't see how making books about the headbangers in your hometown, on your patch where you live, will bring you anything other than complete grief. He even said in his own book about Duffy that he had to be careful how he wrote it because he would be in danger from some very dangerous people. It is going to be sooner or later Brian Cockerill gets it into his head (rightly or wrongly...) 'it's my story and Boyle is making money out of it, I want more money' and that is where the bedlam starts.

I liked the Sykes book - the first one, I have yet to read the second book - his book about Duffy wasn't very good, not down to Boyle but the fact that his subject was a thick bully who went around pasting people for no reason and actually achieved nothing with his life. Apparently, he could have been a boxing prospect at cruiserweight but he ended up losing his life on some dingy street and no-one there helped the police on who killed him because he was hated so much - at least Paul Sykes fought for professional titles and twatted a shark off the Straits of Johor

Boyle was told directly by Duffy’s family not to write the book. They pleaded with him. Duff’s brother Lawrie (who I knew and has since died) was devastated as it was just raking up a painful and traumatic past for a few quid. Boyle end up writing a couple of Duffy books so you know what he’s all about morally when the family of a dead man were reaching out asking him not to do the book. And he ends up doing a few plus a DVD.

Boyle claiming to be the Teesside authority figure on Duffy is beyond parody. He will have been about eight when he was murdered.

He’s upset Cockerill they reckon and a few others up here. Funny thing Karma.
