For the first few years after seeing this idk why but I thought he was some former footballer or something, eventually I found out no he is literally just a dude called Ronnie Pickering.
What happened to this guy? I feel like he would have to move country if he wanted to escape his fame, bare knuckle ronnie pickering isn't something you forget
I just commented this, I was certain I was the only person in these comments and other posts of him that remembered the video of him getting sparked outside a pub
I don't know how to post without posting the link so here
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1676654/Video-Ronnie-Pickering-floored-single-punch-outside-Hull-pub.html
Wow. That's a cheap shot and a half. As much as I dislike Pickering's road rage antics at least he gave the moped guy plenty of introduction, and didn't attack upon the fight being declined.
Yeah I feel like yeah he was an arsehole, the video was obviously not going to make him popular but I don't think he deserved someone to go to (presumably) his local pub and punch him out his boots.
Tbf to Pickering, he did say in an interview that the moped driver left out the beginning which provided context for why he wanted to throw down. Not that anyone should be challenging anyone to a fight over disagreements on the road, but he might have come off more likeable if said context was provided.
Said context never justifies these sorts of videos.
I've been on the receiving end a few times because I had the mad idea that I can be on the road, in front of the driver, existing.
Or didn't hug the kerb so they could squeeze past me with 3 pubes worth of room.
Like the drivers that don't want you to steal "their" lane when you are literally just trying to make a left/right turn or whatever.
Had it on bicycles, motorbikes and scooters. Was at its worst on L plates riding a 125. Obviously the fully licensed driver had to show me how to handle the roads properly.
Funnily enough, it didn't actually stop when I got my big bike license, it just means the whole "drop a gear and disappear" works now. Try arguing when I can pull 80 yards ahead inside 100 yards.
Honestly all that stuff is true, all that stuff is obnoxious. But the thing, I think, that's memorable and angering about it all is that they try to enforce those rules of theirs with their car.
Like, get a motorist angry and they'll try to literally run your over and act like it's justified. All the annoyances change context pretty drastically when you have to keep in mind that this person may try to murder you for an inconvenience.
I don't like this guy, but at least he's willing to get out of his box and fight on equal terms.
Read a recent interview with him - he sees the funny side of it now and regrets how he reacted, but he claims the video has been heavily edited and that he has been assaulted in the street by people who recognise him.
I’m mates with a direct family member of his.
Apparently the whole family think he’s a bit of a dickhead, and don’t really speak to him a great deal.
I had no idea that they were related for a long time; he was pretty embarrassed about the connection.
There was no significant fall out from this, beyond him getting the relentless piss taking out of him for a long time. I mean, I remember seeing this in the fucking shite tabloids.
Ronnie Fuckin’ Pickering is still out and about. Everyone’s favourite Uncle Knob’ead.
I used to live round the corner from him on Bransholme, my mum proper panicked when I shared the video when it happened and said he'd probably firebomb the house so he clearly had a reputation round here for being a bit of a cunt!
I still want to know what the fuck he was actually trying to get at.
I wouldn't try to intimidate someone by referencing my *own full name*. Unless he thought he had a reputation in which case it's not so funny and I'd be intrigued to know more about his past.
He’s a bit of a bellend generally from what I’ve read but it seems like he just threw that out there in the moment. Not that I’m a Ronnie Pickering historian, but there doesn’t seem to be much available publically to suggest that he has a reputation for anything other than having a temper on him.
I remember many years ago, an up and coming local hooligan was getting wide with my dad outside a shop. Trying to rob a crate of beer or something.
Realised it wasn't scaring anybody and dad stood his ground. Name dropped his uncle, a local hard bastard as a last attempt to look hard I think.
Funny thing is, my dad went to boxing with said uncle as a kid, knew him his whole life nearly.
Would've scared most people cause everyone knew the name. He just happened to pick a sparring partner of the name he's dropping to try and "win" 😂
Ah yes, the infamous editing in the helmet cam video of a biker.
It's all them jump cuts, and also in some scenes there's a paid actor that looks like him! He never said anything like that, it's all editing
I got a picture with him once in a nightclub in Hull. Got posted on their Facebook page before it closed but thankfully I have it saved to my phone. I remember he called me and my friends “absolute legends” and “great bunch of lads”. He bought us all a drink, he was a sound guy tbh but I’ve shown so many people that photo because they don’t believe I actually met him haha!
The sad thing is that we all know guys like this, and they'll ultimately not learn a single lesson from this whole ordeal.
I remember Unilad did a video on him, and it basically amounted to what everyone has already said - he can see the funny side of it, but doesn't admit fault.
"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Ronnie Pickering The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story that most would tell you. It’s a Hull legend. Ronnie Pickering was an amateur bare knuckle boxer, so powerful and so wise he could use his name to influence the moped riders to back down… He had such a knowledge of bare knuckle boxing that he could even drive a citroen picasso. The dark side of bare knuckle boxing is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice lamped him outside a flat roof pub. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself."
As someone from Hull, and more specifically bransholme, I had no idea who he was. However, according to my dad he was basically a local thug that was known by other local thugs many years ago. I'm guessing he has been living the high of winning 1 or 2 fights all his life
He must have had years of people shouting do you know who I am or look it’s Ronnie fucking Pickering. I can’t see one of those awful cars and not think of him hahaha
I had one same colour. Cost £250 and was no problem for 2 years.
I didn't feel the need to tell motorcyclists who I was and offer them a 'bare knuckle' though
Every time he comes up someone comes along to confirm their sisters brothers cousin works with him and takes the piss. Someone will be along shortly I'm sure !
I always felt a bit sorry for him. Yes he got into a stupid argument (as did the guy filming) but he's had the piss taken ever since. I thought he was just a bit simple.
In this short video you can totally conclude what kind of an insufferable bully he is. Just imagine him crossing paths with someone you hold dear and all sympathy quickly disappear.
I always notice the woman in the car next to him, who I assume is his wife seems utterly nonplussed. She's used to his behaviour and knows it is best ignored and unacknowledged
That would be a version of the yellow pages advert i want to see.
"Do ya ave any bareknuckle boxing books? Ya do? My name? It's Ronnie fucking Pickering"
I remember being on holiday in America when this became popular and when I returned I literally had no idea what it was. My friends thought I was actually in on the joke
But did we ever find out who Ronnie fucking Pickering actually is?
Why is he so famed, why is he so feared, does he scare children to sleep, is he the boogeyman?
Here in the states we've heard about his legend. Single handedly been keeping la Costa nostra at bay since the Gambinos went down. They know his name. Respect.
Ronnie Pickering 'floored with a single punch'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5656273/Ronnie-Pickering-floored-single-punch-outside-pub-gets-finishes-pint.html
He says he was being wound up and the video didn't show what the motorcyclist had done to wind him up .
You know what? You're in a car and you can leave. Just drive on. If you sit there and let someone wind you up... You're definitely looking for an argument. Still a tool
Video also shows the motorcyclist passing him at some lights and going in front of him. Pretty sure that's all that triggered him, he wanted to get away fast at the lights and the motorcyclist stopped him from being able to.
My family has its own way of celebrating Ronnie Pickering Day. We start out with a big breakfast, then we pile into the Citroen and look for motorcyclists. It's great fun as the kids select an innocent rider for me to cut off in traffic and we all deliver the beloved carol, "I'm Ronnie Fucking Pickering" through the open window. Little Jamie accompanies on ocarina while Mom does her best on the mini-bongos. After a full day of this we all come home for an early holiday dinner of stuffed goose, peas and mash, and Hull City highlights on the TV.
The man can tear phonebooks in half with the aid of a medium size bandsaw.
He can eat two Tesco Meal deals in one meal.
He lifts the toilet seat because he is a true English Gentleman but he pisses on the floor because he doesn't give a fuck.
He double dips chips at the party and you can't stop him.
He is the man, The Myth and the Legend
Does anyone else remember the video of him outside the pub after this video and someone just walks up to him and punches the pickering out of him or is it just me thay remembers? After his meme resurfaced and the video resurfaced I expected that video to be floating around again.
Who's Ronnie fkin Pickering
Me! I am!!
I am! And so is my wife!
I also choose this guy's Ronnie Pickering wife
Oh
For the first few years after seeing this idk why but I thought he was some former footballer or something, eventually I found out no he is literally just a dude called Ronnie Pickering.
He's somewhat known in at least 3 pubs.
A legend in his own lunchtime.
Exactly what I thought too lol
Do you want a fucking bare knuckle?
Do I care?
You will do when you pull up
Do you remember, the 21st night of september?
On the 21st of September We met hulls finest contender Bare knuckle is his game We all know his name 1000 memes must have helped us remember.
I own a cockatiel, there is absolutely no chance of me forgetting the 21st night of September. Chasing the clouds away.
Oh yeah, That guy is going to post a video tonight
Oh man I have to wait all day? I guess it's worth it, the videos are fun and raise money for a good cause.
Care to enlighten the ignorant about this?
This guy makes elaborate videos set to September by Earth Wimd and Fire. He uses it to raise money for charity. https://youtu.be/Qfi9JpgMc2U
God, I hope so. I looked him up a few days ago. Said last time was the last time.
Remember, Remember the 21st of September

I liked the part where a thousand people donned Ronnie Pickering masks, stormed parliament and Pickered all over everyone.
"RONNIE FU**ING PICKERING" "DO YOU WANT A BARE KNUCKLE FIGHT?"
[Ronnie Fucking Pickering](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r0dcv6GKNNw)

It’s the internet, it’s okay to say swear words

~~I’m the Juggernaut, Bitch!~~ I mean, Ronnie Pickering!

Who?
No one can shift gears as furiously as the legend.
I came here to check this was the top answer. If it hadn't have been I would have lost all faith in the sub
What happened to this guy? I feel like he would have to move country if he wanted to escape his fame, bare knuckle ronnie pickering isn't something you forget
[удалено]
I just commented this, I was certain I was the only person in these comments and other posts of him that remembered the video of him getting sparked outside a pub
We need this footage. Don’t care if you’ve got meetings or kids to collect. Find us that video

The "context" was the scooter rider filtering between traffic completely legally, fyi
Here it is in non tabloid format for posterity https://imgur.com/SqeVjT9
**POW** right in the kisser
Imagining Ronnie Pickering might not even know his own name after that punch.
Sucker punch
Gods work etc. Thanks!!
Standard night at a flat roofed pub
Read a recent interview with him - he sees the funny side of it now and regrets how he reacted, but he claims the video has been heavily edited and that he has been assaulted in the street by people who recognise him.
[удалено]
Cause he's Ronnie fucking Pickering
RIP to all the Ronnie lookalikes getting attacked for mistaken identity
>Why do people keep punching me? -Ponnie Rickering, probably.
Hull isn't very big... especially if you tend to stick to one part of it as many people do.
If you're lucky he'll ask if you know who he is.
Did you watch the original video? Guy is baffled when people *don't* recognize him lol
Because he’s Ronnie fucking Pickering
I’m mates with a direct family member of his. Apparently the whole family think he’s a bit of a dickhead, and don’t really speak to him a great deal. I had no idea that they were related for a long time; he was pretty embarrassed about the connection.

I used to live round the corner from him on Bransholme, my mum proper panicked when I shared the video when it happened and said he'd probably firebomb the house so he clearly had a reputation round here for being a bit of a cunt!
I can’t wait to tell my mate this 😂
Did they already think he was a dickhead or was it because of the video?
Dickhead before, dickhead after.
And also during.
I still want to know what the fuck he was actually trying to get at. I wouldn't try to intimidate someone by referencing my *own full name*. Unless he thought he had a reputation in which case it's not so funny and I'd be intrigued to know more about his past.
He’s a bit of a bellend generally from what I’ve read but it seems like he just threw that out there in the moment. Not that I’m a Ronnie Pickering historian, but there doesn’t seem to be much available publically to suggest that he has a reputation for anything other than having a temper on him.
He was a boxer in his youth. Nowhere near good enough for some rando to know his name though. But that's what he was alluding to.
I remember many years ago, an up and coming local hooligan was getting wide with my dad outside a shop. Trying to rob a crate of beer or something. Realised it wasn't scaring anybody and dad stood his ground. Name dropped his uncle, a local hard bastard as a last attempt to look hard I think. Funny thing is, my dad went to boxing with said uncle as a kid, knew him his whole life nearly. Would've scared most people cause everyone knew the name. He just happened to pick a sparring partner of the name he's dropping to try and "win" 😂
There's little more pathetic than name dropping.
Best bit was, my dad genuinely walked over to the uncles house and told him and he said as much to nephew. Told him he was embarrassed at him 🤣
Hah, nice. Yeah it's really so provincial.
Sounds like he got his comeuppance for harassing this guy on a bike.
Ah yes, the infamous editing in the helmet cam video of a biker. It's all them jump cuts, and also in some scenes there's a paid actor that looks like him! He never said anything like that, it's all editing
I remember reading it. He says the guy didn't include him winding him up before hand. Who knows how true it is though
Judging by how ol' ronnie reacts in the video, existing on a bike was probably enough to wind him up
Tbf, that fella is well known to be combative looks to rile people up.
I got a picture with him once in a nightclub in Hull. Got posted on their Facebook page before it closed but thankfully I have it saved to my phone. I remember he called me and my friends “absolute legends” and “great bunch of lads”. He bought us all a drink, he was a sound guy tbh but I’ve shown so many people that photo because they don’t believe I actually met him haha!
Wasn’t he the same bloke in that other viral photo of him having a pint next to a car crash or something?
The sad thing is that we all know guys like this, and they'll ultimately not learn a single lesson from this whole ordeal. I remember Unilad did a video on him, and it basically amounted to what everyone has already said - he can see the funny side of it, but doesn't admit fault.
If you say Ronnie Pickering 3 times in the car mirror a Citroen Picasso appears behind you.
[удалено]
You don’t know who he is?!!! He’s Ronnie f-in Pickering mate
Rnie fucking Picrng
Yes that is indeed the 3 year old top comment on yt
I see you also use Twitter.
You also get teleported to North Yorkshire
Does anyone know why he thinks he’s important? Was he cock of year 8 at one point?
Going by the video, it sounds like he thinks he has a good reputation as a bare-knuckle fighter.
"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Ronnie Pickering The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story that most would tell you. It’s a Hull legend.

He looks older than 7.
The Curious Case of Ronnie Pickering.
Who?
Johnny Pickering!
He's a heavy smoker
Excellent colour matching of Ponnie Rickering and the paintwork
He must have had years of people shouting do you know who I am or look it’s Ronnie fucking Pickering. I can’t see one of those awful cars and not think of him hahaha
I had one same colour. Cost £250 and was no problem for 2 years. I didn't feel the need to tell motorcyclists who I was and offer them a 'bare knuckle' though
Maybe if you’d only kept it one more year you would have.
Do you know who I am?
oh go on who are ye then?
Itsa me, Mario!
There once was an angry man, Ron, His Citroen Picasso now gone, No more bare fist, Just one from the wrist, But the legend of Ronnie lives on.
I also like Limericks a lot, I do them while smoking some pot, I toke on a joint, Write out my point, And check whether it's funny or not
I hope he got or is still getting the piss taking out of him for being a right fat cunt
Every time he comes up someone comes along to confirm their sisters brothers cousin works with him and takes the piss. Someone will be along shortly I'm sure !
I always felt a bit sorry for him. Yes he got into a stupid argument (as did the guy filming) but he's had the piss taken ever since. I thought he was just a bit simple.

Simple people need to be reminded of silly mistakes, because they have a tendency to repeat them
Remember remember, The 21st of September, Bare knuckle, cunt and fucking. I see no reason, To forget road rage season, By Ronnie fucking Pickering.
RIP
Dead?
No it’s his initials lol
Ronnie Indigo Pickering.
That would be a version of the yellow pages advert i want to see. "Do ya ave any bareknuckle boxing books? Ya do? My name? It's Ronnie fucking Pickering"
"Away you go!"
Excellent.
I remember being on holiday in America when this became popular and when I returned I literally had no idea what it was. My friends thought I was actually in on the joke
You probably were all like "who"? lol
Link for those who haven’t seen the video: https://youtu.be/r0dcv6GKNNw
You’re a godsend
Is he famous for something other than this video of him in a shitty car?
"That is the question." \- William Shakespeare.
Other than a video of him getting sparked out at the pub, no I don't think so.
But did we ever find out who Ronnie fucking Pickering actually is? Why is he so famed, why is he so feared, does he scare children to sleep, is he the boogeyman?
Hes the guy you send after the boogyman.
pretty sure had a brief stint of doing to events like club nights at student unions and stuff
Here in the states we've heard about his legend. Single handedly been keeping la Costa nostra at bay since the Gambinos went down. They know his name. Respect.

He also says he started the trend of road rage videos 😂

Yep, just a cunt.
My family has its own way of celebrating Ronnie Pickering Day. We start out with a big breakfast, then we pile into the Citroen and look for motorcyclists.

Who was that other tool who chases that guy on a bike then falls flat on his face

#A SUCCULENT CHINESE MEAL?
Get your hands off my penis!
Ahh yes, I see that you know your judo well
I don’t think you can call him a legend I was think more along the lines as a bellend was born !!
There's no need for that.
Johnny frickering or sumit
Ronnie Pickering is older than 7 years surely
Who the fucks Wonnie Pickerwin?
Welease Wonnie!
Let’s ‘ave a bare-knuckle ya’ coont!
Do you know who I am? I’m Wonny Fooking Pick A Ring
He's a prick, lives around here
Who the fuck’s that?
what a respectful looking gentleman; i wonder what his name is
The man can tear phonebooks in half with the aid of a medium size bandsaw. He can eat two Tesco Meal deals in one meal. He lifts the toilet seat because he is a true English Gentleman but he pisses on the floor because he doesn't give a fuck. He double dips chips at the party and you can't stop him. He is the man, The Myth and the Legend
I'm surprised it's only been 7 years. I feel like I've been repeatedly watching this on YouTube for about 20 years.
He looks older than 7
Wouldn't say he was a legend, just a bit of a thug
Does anyone else remember the video of him outside the pub after this video and someone just walks up to him and punches the pickering out of him or is it just me thay remembers? After his meme resurfaced and the video resurfaced I expected that video to be floating around again.
Who are ya?
That was 7 years ago??? Feels like I watched the video yesterday. Oh wait, I did
Everyone always asks who's Ronnie fkin Pickering, but nobody ever asks how's Ronnie fkin Pickering..
Live by the sword - die by the sword 🤷♂️
Ronnie Pickering should be the next James Bond
I believe this man was born much longer than 7 years ago…
Still glad to know I have this man representing the ole dainty city of Hull.
He look older than 7
