Praying Mantis -- "Geezer" can be used in various contexts, not just that which Xs described. It means, very roughly, something like "guy" or "dude" and I guess has as many shades of meaning, though rarely entirely complimentary. Thus, it can be used as Xs suggests, or it can be used as a generic term for a male, or even by black/black-identified kids as a form of address to white males (they seem to think I don't know they are using it tongue-in-cheek).
BTW, "cunt" is offensive here too, though it is used differently. "Fanny" is not quite so offensive.
"Like to give it the large"= go out and take lots of drink/drugs and ideally, get some casual sex.
"Charlie" = Cocaine
"Casuals" -- don't hear that term much these days, but they were/are into (relatively) expensive "designer" apparel, flashy cars, petty crime and occasional serious violence. Perhaps they are still called Casuals outside London.
"Duck 'n' dive crime" = Petty crime, e.g. handling stolen goods, benefit (welfare) fraud.
"Footie hooliganism" = organised fighting between rival gangs of soccer fans.
