Barrington Patterson, best known for featuring in Danny Dyer’s Deadliest Men, has died from a heart attack aged 56.

His wife Tracey shared the news, writing: ‘At 6am this morning my beloved husband had a massive heart attack.’

She praised West Midlands Ambulance Service paramedics, who ‘worked for over an hour to save him’, adding: ‘Unfortunately it wasn’t to be. Our hearts are broken.’

Patterson – nicknamed ‘One Eyed Baz’ – was a community activist who turned his life around to campaign against knife crime and raise awareness of homelessness.

He was also a former kickboxer and mixed martial artist, who was first introduced to audiences through the 2006 Bravo documentary The Real Football Factories, before going on to work with Dyer.

Birmingham City FC, who Patterson was a lifelong fan of, also shared their condolences.

‘The Club are saddened to learn of the passing of lifelong Bluenose, Barrington Patterson.

‘All of our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time. May you rest in peace, Baz.’
