Anything Goes with James English Ep/119
Andy Flute, talks about his struggle to overcome a myriad of life-long challenges with violence and alcohol. For over 30 years, violence and alcohol were Andy's daily bread until, one day, by the power of prayer, he managed to achieve what no amount of alcohol or prison incarceration could ever achieve. When he was at the point of death, intoxicated with alcohol following a ten-day binging session, I went to see my old mate and prayed for him with Pastor Steve. Andy was fighting the demon of alcohol and he was on the ropes, down for the count.
Andy, a former captain of the English boxing team and British Middleweight title challenger alongside sparring partner Chris Eubank and other world class fighters, knew what brutal fighting was all about. This fight was different, one he couldn't win on his own strength. Andy felt the intense grip and destructive downward spiral alcohol had on his life. Battered and bleeding, with no more strength, he cried out to Jesus. In a truly miraculous turnaround, Andy found Jesus in his corner and almost instantaneously gave up alcohol.

Anything Goes with James English Ep/117
London gangster ray bishop tells his story.
Ray grow up on a council estate in South East London, where he and his friends were regularly brutalised by the police. He got involved in petty crime, and was despatched to various notoriously violent youth-detention centres, all of which served to criminalise him, and others like him, much further. He graduated with flying colours to a career in London's underworld as an armed robber, a drug smuggler and a people trafficker, developing a serious addiction to cocaine and heroin along the way.
Ray eventually wore himself out, and enrolled in a rigorous rehabilitation programme which provided him with a path to redemption. In 2010 he realised his childhood dream of becoming British Middleweight Boxing Champion. A truly inspirational turnaround, and a riveting life story.

London gangster Marvin Herbert tells his story.
An ex-offender with 21 convictions for 76 offences beginning when he was 13, Marvin was also among four people on trial accused of helping Dale Cregan and Jermaine Ward stay at large after the murder of David Short in Droylsden in August 2012. Marvin renounced his criminal lifestyle after he was shot multiple times by a member of a British drugs gang in a daylight attack in Marbella. He was shot in his eye, groin, arm and leg and was told by doctors that he would never walk again.
“At that specific moment in his life he realised that his existence had been pointless and meaningless. Marvin decided that because he was fortunate to be kept alive, he would have to change dramatically. Not just for himself but for his kids, to guarantee that they had him in their lives for years to come.

Bareknuckle champion Decca Heggie tells his story.
From hurting to healing.
Decca Heggie grew up on a council estate in Carlisle. Glue sniffing and football became a means of escape from the bullies that plagued his childhood. Until that is, he discovered that he was a natural-born fighter. Having hammered all his tormentors, the die was cast. Working as a doorman in his late teens, he met - then lost--the love of his life. Cocaine addiction eased the pain but fueled bouts of depression and random violence. Unlicensed boxing led to bare-knuckle fighting and two BKB heavyweight titles. Then, in 2016, Ricky English offered him a shot at The Guv'nor Title--the chance to cement his legacy as a true great of the hardest sport of them all.
Decca is very open and honest about his fight against mental health and his suicidal thoughts but has come along way to now live a cleaner, happier life.
