Lenny McLean

Lenny McLean (1949–1998) was a legendary London bare-knuckle fighter, bouncer, and actor who became known as "The Guv'nor" for his reputation as the hardest man in Britain. His autobiography The Guv'nor tells the story of his brutal upbringing in London's East End, his rise to infamy in the world of unlicensed boxing and door security, and his late-life acting career, including a role in Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The book became a bestselling cult classic. His audiobooks and books are compelling for listeners and readers fascinated by London's underworld and stories of formidable characters living on the edge.
