The Guv'nor - The Autobiography of Lenny McLean

McLean is the deadliest bare-knuckle fighter Britain has even seen; not only taking on the Mafia and IRA and winning, but also surviving being stabbed and shot multiple times. He went on to star in hit films such as "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels". This is his story. *Also appeared in February Buyer's Notes*
