Ilustration Toward Books The Guv'nor
Lenny McLean was one of the deadliest bare-knuckle fighters Britain has ever seen. He had dear, powerful friends, but he also had terrible enemies. So much so that he has two bullet wounds in his back, and has been stabbed repeatedly—always from behind. Lenny, however, is also a warm, grizzly bear of a man, whose main weakness is an overwhelming desire to put the welfare of his mates ahead of his own well-being. In this autobiography he tells of how the mafia flew him to New York to take on their greatest bare-knuckle boxer in a multi-million pound illicit challenge 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. Lenny's most serious trial came when he was accused of murder. Fighting to prove his innocence against a minimum sentence of 25 years, Lenny never gave up, and went on to be found not guilty. After deciding to retire from the violent life, Len turned his hand to acting, having parts in The Fifth Element and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.Describe Out Of Books The Guv'nor

Excellent read highly recommend to anyone interested in this type of book. Lenny seemed like a sound man and one I would have liked to have known. Check out his interviews and some fights on YouTube.Pretty good,
Brilliant no holds barred, down and gritty telling of the real life of The Guv'nor Lenny Mclean. From the sweet easy life before his dad died to the hard harsh upbringing with his step father who beat him on a very regular basis to the man he became! Street fighter and boxer. Family man. The man who took no s**t from anybody but was the 1st to look out for you if you deserved it, a smack on the chin if you deserved that too! Enthralling read 👍😀
Great readOnce i opened the book I couldn't put it down . First book I have read in over 10 yeara
Great readA great insight into the life of the Guvnor. I enjoyed it immensely. The man was a legend, feared and respected.
decent read but falls into the usual cliche that only bad guys got hurt. His story and the violence was very honest and worth reading in between books
"I look what I am ..a hard bastard" for a tagline and a cover image of an almost Peek a boo stance (I do not think the "stance" makes any difference whatsoever to Lenny McLean) ! The Guvnor cannot go wrong with a Selling point like that.And then the content of the auto biography . The no-holds-barred narrative makes for a very interesting/ amusing and "street" read. I say street because the narrative in the book is free-flowing but not haphazard. Not really literary but not too crude either(the
