TUNE IN BELOW TO THE REMARKABLE LIFE STORY OF BILLY 'SUTTY' SUTTON WHICH WILL TOUCH MANY PEOPLE'S HEARTS
PART ONE: Peaky Blinders Bloodline: Hard Grit, 46 Years Sober and A Mother’s Legacy
PART TWO: Billy 'Suttie' Sutton: Rebels & Glamour, Cartels & Chaos – Part 2
From Birmingham Streets to Miami’s Scarface Era
Billy’s story spans continents and eras:
-
Born into the shadow of the Peaky Blinders, grandson of feared gang leader Austin Kelly.
-
Once found collapsed on the floor of an abandoned warehouse, covered in mice and surrounded by empty vodka bottles, Billy hit rock bottom. As of Friday 5th September 2025, Billy proudly marks 46 years as a recovering alcoholic — living proof of survival against his demons.
-
Recognised as the most decorated European in Miami history, honoured:
-
20 times by the Miami Police
-
10 times by the Mayors of Miami
-
8 times by the Government of Florida
-
-
Bestowed the unprecedented rank of Colonel with full enforcement powers by Miami authorities for his help in dismantling the Cuban and Colombian cartels during the Scarface era.
-
His Jaguar XJS was blown up by the Cuban Cartel, he stared down the barrel of a gun, and fought on the front lines with Miami Police — surviving multiple shootouts, all while refusing to carry a weapon himself.
-
Personally awarded by former Top Miami Judge Leon Firtel (a first in U.S. history) and honoured by broadcaster Rick Sanchez.
-
His meeting and conversations with President George Bush and President Ronald Regan
-
His warning to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1987 about Crack Cocaine, knife crime and the black gang ‘The Yardies’- wasn’t he proved right
A Survivor, a Giver and a Redeemer
Beyond the chaos and violence, Billy’s life is marked by extraordinary contrasts:
-
Relationships with Mandy Rice-Davies, the Welsh model and showgirl who became a central figure in the 1960s Profumo Affair scandal (which also involved Christine Keeler and contributed to the downfall of the British government), and his great friendship with Zsa Zsa Gabor, during his years in Miami.
-
Run-ins with the Mexican Cartel and survival in the heart of America’s cocaine wars.
-
Redemption through compassion — personally funding and creating Little League football teams for underrepresented children, blending three cultures in each team, bringing hope and unity where none existed.
