A victim of violent abuse at the hands of his stepfather, Lenny
spent much of his teenage life in borstal as he began to follow a
life of crime. However, it was his ability as a fighter that was to
turn his life around. Lenny McLean inspired fear in many, but
respect from all, as he became a bare-knuckle fighting legend. His
fame became even greater in later life, appearing in Guy Ritchie's
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels just as his autobiography was
reaching the top of the bestsellers chart. Lenny's untimely death
from cancer in 1998 marked the beginning of the end of the old
Cockney way of life and interest in his story has only increased
since his passing, inspiring documentaries as well as a feature
film, My Name is Lenny. In these unedited conversations between
Lenny and his 'book man' Peter Gerrard, featuring many anecdotes
that did not appear in The Guv'nor, we get to see the man behind
the public image. As he looks back on his life, these transcripts
reveal Lenny's humour and charm as well as the volatility that made
him one of the most notorious figures ever to emerge from the East
End.
