The Guv'nor

Lenny 'The Guv'nor' McLean was the deadliest bare-knuckle fighter in Britain. He had dear, powerful friends, but he also had vicious enemies. So much so that he was shot twice in the back - each from a different attack. But Lenny was a warm, huge-hearted grizzly bear of a man, whose main weakness was an overwhelming desire to put his mates first. This is a tale of one man's triumph against insurmountable odds, in a battle that Len fought everyday for himself, and to put 'steam on the table' for his family. His is a triumph that has passed into legend.

Lenny McLean, along with the Krays, is the most famous product of London's East End. The most famous bare-knuckle fighter ever, he became known to an even wider audience with his roles in such blockbusters as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
