It's years since I read it, I always wanted a film coz it literally unfolded like a movie as I was reading it, a very entertaining book. If I remember rightly he claims never to have lost a fight on the cobbles, not in the ring...


 
There were a few fights that nearly happened that would have been very interesting but didn't for one reason or another. Bronson was released from prison and went straight on the unlicensed circuit were he had a few fights including one against a rabid dog, or so he claims! The top name at the time was Mclean and he says he wanted to fight him but he only lasted 69 days at liberty before he was back in prison.

I wonder if the film will be any more truthful than Lenny's book? In it he claims to have had over 3000 fights and never lost one but he lost at least six in the ring including getting knocked spark out by a bloke called Cliff Fields twice.

Not much of a fight fan now-a-days .... especially when it coms to fighters/fights outside of the USA, but you GB GetBiggers got my curiosity up ...so I just ordered THE GUV'NOR for my Kindle from AMAZON.

Only $5.99 and it arrives in about 45 seconds!

Plus some of Lenny's fights appear to be on YouTube!

Thanks!!!

Sorry to admit that I knew nothing about him before reading this post.

Both decent films
They got the wrong men for the Rettendon murders

Not watched the Lenny film
Will do.

Bernard omahoney implied the rettendon murders were the Dutch dealers covering their tracks

Don't take to much notice of what he says.

Drug / Police involvement very likely.

Lenny Mclean was a very intimidating man IRL.

Not 191 either as I'm sure he was taller than me, or seemed taller than me anyway.

He was also a nasty bullying cnut and in general people were happy when he died, especially after he murdered that black boy at the club (Equinox?) in Leicester Sq.

Did you know him.?

Opinions vary

Always found don't step on his toes & he wouldn't step on yours.

No, I'd just see him visit the gym sometimes all dressed up like an old school face. I'd have pissed my pants at the time if he'd even noticed me as I was just a teenager.

The story of how the black kid got killed is pretty bad and was widely discussed. I think his cancer came out pretty soon after that.

This McLean film is awful, straight dreck. Would not even recommend on a "So bad it's good" basis. Horrid acting, and a very shitty Guy Ritchiesque style of directing and dialog. Straight to video would be too good for it, it should be straight to garbage can.



.

( All five parts played in sequence - www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBdB5B_xKYM&list=PLE82D84D31405AE4F ).

The above was quite kind to him in the parts he was in, and is a far better watch.

Essex Boys were killed by a very HEAVY HEAVY firm they tried double crossing. I'm not going to say who as I may be stupid, well I am stupid but not THAT stupid.

I only knew Lenny vaguely personally as when I visited
As he trained at the old crystal palace gym sometimes
Though a lot of the GB powerlifters knew him well.
Also had a couple of lads work who had worked with Lenny.
