Was reading a little about the Curtis Warren case last night, the whole thing stinks to me, but the big question is, why on earth did he even bother starting up again? He must be bloody minted, strange case.

Anyway after looking at a few storys the name Stephen French came up and I noticed he had been on Danny Dyers propah norty hardest men.

It was a decent watch.

Part 3 is special, near the middle he does a taxiation thingy with Dyer, he craps his pants.

They both come across as total blerts, but as I say, its a decent watch if you like that kinda thing.

Never heard of this fella, im sure the locals have tho.

Yeah he does come across badly, but as you say, people have heard the name.

Liverpool Echo.co.uk - News - Liverpool Local News - Businessman Stephen French appears in court over alleged assault of police officer

I found that quite funny, he is meant to have a seceret address, then The Echo goes and prints it.

Giggle.

I thought he'd gone straight and legit and put his criminal past behind him.....Assaulting a police officer and wielding a machete in public is hardly going straight...oh well at least he didn't kill anyone!

hes such a devil
 
He's alrite Ste French, robbed the scummy drug dealers of their money and battered them for selling drugs to kids.

He's not welcome in Toccy apparently though. I've seen that documentary Goat, thought it was a very good watch. Not sure i'd wanna mix with them sort of people, but i suppose you get them everywhere

Stephen French: I pushed Warren into life of crime

I pushed Warren into life of crime

In a new book one of Liverpool’s notorious gangsters talks about his violent past, recruiting Curtis Warren, and turning his back on crime. Tony Barrett reports.
EVEN the biggest underworld villains have to start somewhere.
In Curtis Warren’s case his career as a criminal got under way at the age of 11 when he was recruited to join a team of notorious south Liverpool burglars.
According to the man who recruited him, the youthful Warren had “the face of an angel” and was small enough to fit through even the tiniest of windows.
That man was Stephen French, a notorious Liverpool gangster who has now decided to lift the lid on his criminal past after undergoing a road to Damascus style conversion and turning his back on crime.
French, nicknamed “The Devil” because he struck such fear into the drug dealers he taxed and tortured, is now a legitimate businessman with a multi-million pound empire.
He also has a degree in psychology to his name, having graduated from the University of Liverpool in 1988.
But there was a time, not so long ago, when he was one of the most feared figures in the Liverpool underworld and his reputation for extreme violence was known throughout the land.
“I did some terrible things,” he admits. “But that was the Stephen French of then, not the Stephen French of today.
“Things happened to me and to friends and loved ones around me which made me take stock of my life and where it was going.”
In actual fact, it was the birth of his daughter Abbey in August 1994 which gave French what he describes as his “moment of epiphany”.
“I knew that the way things were going I was either going to end up spending the rest of my life in jail or, worse, dead,” he says.
“My best friend Andrew John, someone who I viewed as my brother, had already been shot dead and I didn’t want the same fate to befall me.
“I had this little bundle of joy in my hands and I knew I had to stay out of prison and safe from harm if I was to be able to give her the chance in life she deserved.
“It really was a moment of epiphany for me.”
This moment did not come soon enough for French’s underworld rivals who had endured his reign of terror for more than a decade.
One, who does not wish to be named, told the ECHO how the Toxteth-born gangster won his reputation as one of the hardest men ever to come out of one of Britain’s hardest cities.
He says: “Frenchie was a kick boxer. He was a world champion who could kill you with a single move.
“Even if he was heavily outnumbered he would still have a chance because not only did he know how to hurt people, he also had the tools to do it.
“There are stories of him fighting more than a dozen men single handed and having seen him in action I can believe them, because he is so ferocious.
“But the worst thing about him was he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.
“I know a drug dealer who was taxed by Frenchie and to this day he still bears the scars that were inflicted on him with a scorching hot iron.”
French, 47, does not attempt to cover up such accusations of sickening brutality.
In actual fact, as part of what he describes as his cathartis, he has detailed the acts of violence he committed in a new book about his life, appropriately entitled “The Devil”.
The question of why anyone with such a background would want to write their memoirs is one which French has been asking himself.
“I think it comes down to the fact that I know the things I was doing were not right,” he admits. “And I don’t want others to make the kind of mistakes that I did.
“I’m a different person now and if I can help people to turn away from a life of crime then nothing would make me happier.
“I want any profits from the book to go into the building of a centre in Toxteth for youngsters who might otherwise be attracted into a life of crime.
“They need something positive to divert them because it can be all too easy to get involved in the kind of things that can put you on the wrong path.”
The Devil, written by Graham Johnson, is available in all good book shops, priced £9.99.

That Warren guy has been doing my head in! My bus keeps getting delayed because the street outside the court gets closed. Armed police everywhere snipers and assault rifles. Mental!
 

Ive read The Devil by Stephen French . It was ok and not a bad read if you ignore the fact he actually hates white people and denigrates them with every chance he gets . He comes across as bitter that Curtis didnt let him in on his firm who were at the time making more money than he will ever see and he knew / knows it hence the way he prattles on about Warren with snide comments throughout his book .

I have little to no doubt at all that Stephen French was as naughty as they come as he came from an area that was in the eighties as deprived as your likely to find in this country and kept company whos future involved bars and lots of time .

Still in Toxteth alot of people have him down as a grass . I dont know and dont want to know the in and outs of it all to be honest . One thing is for sure though , Liverpool has and always will blaze a trail criminally . Thats not a slur its a compliment as no other UK Cities apart from Manchester , London & Glasgow as organised crime as mastered .
