==Early years==
English had been a member of the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) since the early days of the Troubles.〔Steve Bruce, 'Terrorism and Politics: The Case of Northern Ireland's Loyalist Paramilitaries', ''Terrorism and Political Violence'', Volume 13, Issue 2, 2001, pp. 27-48〕 He first came to prominence in the 1980s when he was involved in writing ''Common Sense'', a UDA policy document that supported a form of power-sharing with Catholics.〔Ian S. Wood, ''Crimes of Loyalty: A History of the UDA'', Edinburgh University Press, 2006, p. 92〕 He was an opponent of Davy Payne, the UDA's North Belfast brigadier and an unpopular figure with many members due to allegations of racketeering and involvement in the death of John McMichael.〔McDonald & Cusack, ''UDA'', p. 160〕 He served as acting brigadier in South East Antrim following illness striking existing brigadier Alan Snoddy and in this role voted to retain the leadership of Andy Tyrie, a motion that was not successful.〔Wood, ''Crimes of Loyalty'', p. 137〕
English served an advisor to the UDA's Inner Council and in 1990 whilst in this position he was arrested as part of the Stevens Inquiries. English was taken in, along with East Belfast brigadier Billy Elliot, for possessing confidential security documents.〔David Lister & Hugh Jordan, ''Mad Dog: The Rise and Fall of Johnny Adair and 'C' Company'', Mainsteam, 2004, p. 82〕 Whilst on remand English, who was subsequently released without charge, had a confrontation with Danny Morrison who was also on remand over kidnapping charges.〔McDonald & Cusack, ''UDA'', p. 181〕 Along with Ray Smallwoods, English, as representative of the Combined Loyalist Military Command, was in regular contact with Robin Eames during the early 1990s and the Archbishop of Armagh's pleas for peace impacted on English's thinking.〔McDonald & Cusack, ''UDA'', p. 257〕
