THIS IS THE CLASSIC BOOK THAT STARTED AN ENTIRE GENRE - THE STORY OF THE MOST ICONIC HARDMAN OF THEM ALL.

Lenny McLean was one of the deadliest bareknuckle fighters Britain has ever seen. He had dear, powerful friends, but he also had terrible enemies. So much so that he had two bullet wounds in his back - each from a different attack. He was also stabbed repeatedly - always from behind. But Lenny was also a warm, big-hearted grizzly bear of a man, whose main weakness was an overwhelming desire to put the welfare of his mates ahead of his own well-being.

In his extraordinary autobiography, he tells of how the mafia flew him to New York to take on their greatest bareknuckle boxer in a multi-million pound illicit bout. The Mafia's man lasted less than three minutes. When the IRA fronted up a London gang in a money-laundering scam, Lenny was brought in to intimidate the terrorists. The IRA, not surprisingly, backed off. . .

His most serious trial came when he was accused of murder. Fighting to prove his innocence against a minimum sentence of twenty-five years, Lenny never gave up - and went on to be found not guilty.

This is a tale of one man's triumph against almost insurmountable odds, in a battle that Len fought every day for himself, and to 'put steam on the table' for his wife and kids. Sportifs Sports de combat et auto-défense True Crime Biographie Sincère

I knew nothing of Lenny McLean before listening to this book. What a story! Sometimes the tales of casual violence do get a little repetitive but the author is a great storyteller who keeps you coming back for more. Great narrator too, he did a great job of making you feel Lenny's emotions. Highly recommended for anyone interested in combat sports or crime autobiographies.

Great Story, Great Narrator

Fantastic story about an incredible man. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Note: Meant to give 5 stars for story but my touch screen is wonky and won’t let me amend it.

Amazing

Great book, hard to understand some of the British lingo, kept asking myself who old bill was until I realized it meant the police.

Great story, kept me listening and wanting more
