Prefer Chopper to Roger Rogerson any day. Listening to Rogerson in those Pub tours would’ve just shit me. At least Chopper was making the best of his abilities and hand that was dealt him in life. Rogerson was a disgrace.
Heath Franklin packed Bendigo’s Capital Theatre in April 2012 with his Chopper show but Chopper Reid’s show was refused at a Bendigo pub because of the potential backlash. Chopper wasn’t pleased.
I am glad that I have met the real mark chopper read himself and I gotten a picture taken with me and himself standing together it was at sexpo in Melbourne
@@paddyc9653 In those books he mentions being mates some 'heavy' people. Most were buddies of mine here in Sydney. Chopper was a Melbourne boy. Most of them say that they've never met him!! Make your own conclusion.
Heavies..? My ass.. My uncle..(My mum's middle brother).. 2 tours of duty in Vietnam '66..'67.. A true fucking mad man in his day,even approached by Dennis Allen to be one of soldiers.. Gave Fuckwit Flannery a warning he would never forget either..
Havin a beer with chopper & a mate - I didn't hardly utter a word. His reputation preceded him. He was really a character with the gift of the gob. I was shittin meself for no reason! Power perceived is power achieved
I did some tine with chopper back in pentridge in the 80s..not much but some. Lets just say that he was different, had a few links missing. He only targeted the ones who highlighted themselves..
Funny how nobody talked smack about him when he was still alive hey. And the so called gangsters he talked smack about just smiled and hid under their rocks until they got put under granite headstones. The Chopper I met on a few occasions was a great bloke and a gentleman to my mother. God bless him I say.
That's not 100% true mate, there's a few gd reasons why he got outa Dodge (Melb) and went to Tassie... They just didn't write it down and whack it in a book.
Reid was given evening therapy on a daily basis...kick ups, doors banging, screaming. Along with Mr Stinky, Paul Haigh and Peter Allan Reid, Mark Reid got revved up more often than not. He sided with the enemy and was called out for it. Oh and hid in the laundry!
I knew Mark he was 1 of many guys in the old Nik in Coburg I nor liked, or disliked, I treat ppl how they treat me the guy if you knew Prison Culture in the 90s or earlier he was just another bloke indeed. I met alot ego Binse, Maladanich, even phat Carl Williams, Mark was no different, infact took the idea of the English Crooks have been writing Biography for decades & Mark took Aussie Based approach, before his book I didn't no who he was. Someone had his book in Torana YTC that's it.
I knew he was a shit talker when he put shit on Raymond "Chuck" Bennett. Bennett would have turned him inside out. Easy to put shit on a dead man, real tough guy!
His story is sooo hectic but sooo sad. Backed into many corners, Some he did himself. Either way dead if he wasn’t skittszz But found family late in life and if he’d seen it earlier his life be Dif. Was one of craziest man in oz and even he wanted out in end after kids. His own words general public doesn’t new to fear me. The cops hater heroin and he had a free pass. I could be well wrong but I hope not cos that made it after then today!
He is nothing more than a showman, He just thought he would make a persosona of a crazy guy, He was just full of himself and that is all that mattered to him, he never killed anyone and is all a show. but He did make me laugh
Come From Possilpark Glasgow, If CHOPPER Went There, He, Would Be A Minnow, Amongst Sharks, They Pushed People Like CHOPPER Out Of The Way, To Get Into The Fight.❤😂
Chopper never persuaded the nation that he was a criminal genius, he was always straight up about his history. "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story " M B Reid. Fact is , some of it was true, some not, some exaggerated. He was a character with knack for spining a yarn. Do you honestly believe that all underbelly series are 100% accurate? Hope not.
R u sure about that 'that hes more famous than Ned kelly n just so u no he didnt even write the book lol but he did tell on ppl we all no that one my friend #pmsl. ( him or wat he portrays in his book isnt anything like a modern day ned kelly, u might think so but no one els does lol
