Lenny McLean

Leonard John Lenny McLean , also known as The Guvnor, was an English bareknuckle fighter, bouncer, criminal and prisoner, author, businessman, bodyguard, enforcer, weightlifter, television presenter and actor, and has been referred to as the hardest man in Britain.

Lenny McLean was born into a large workingclass family in Hoxton in the East End of London. His father, Leonard McLean senior, had been a Royal Marine during the Second World War, but after being debilitated by a nearfatal disease which he contracted in India he became a petty criminal and swindler. He died when Lenny was six years old, and was buried in a paupers grave, as many working class men of the time were.
