Ill tell you who was a hard man MY GRANDAD.. went up sword beach and through france and Germany.. Shot twice lost the sight in one eye came back and brought up 5 children who had respect and dignity for others... This was a hard man Rip Tommy.
Lots of respect to ya grandad 👌 my grandad was a hard man too volunteered himself in world war 2 at the age of 15 was In the navy fought the Germans for 5/ 6 years and came out the navy when he was 23 years old then brought up 6 children and continued to work and provide for this country died at the age of 56 I never got to meet him 😔 my dad has given me his dog tags and bayonet now that's a fucking hard bastard too 👊
My Grandad was hard. He got shot 12 times in WW2. Slept in a coal bunker using a knife for a pillow, got up a 3 in the morning and licked the pavement for breakfast. He ate one lump of coal a year and used to shit in a Tesco's carrier bag while the whole family would stand around him chanting 'Grandad, Grandad, Grandad, Grandad'
A guy who didn't like violence but did if for very noble reasons - "putting food on the table". His big heart shines through and you have to respect Lenny so much. RIP 'Governor' - one of a kind.
@@davidwagstaff47 From what I've read and seen I think Lenny McLean had conditioned himself (probably due to his upbringing and experiences) to be able to switch violence on and off. In a situation which required it, like working the doors or in an unlicensed fight, he would turn the violence on to the point where he made sure that the conclusion meant he survived to get home to his family (and probably make the point to anybody else that it would not be in their best interests to instigate any comebacks). From what I've read and seen he was never violent towards Val and his kids so I don't think he was psychopathic or liked violence. He left it at the door so to speak. My feeling is that he used it as a tool to make money as that was what he knew and was good at (and with little education or prospects and a young family to feed was something of a necessity). I don't condone it but it is life.
Apart from when he was jumping up and down on the heads of teenagers in The Camden Palace in the 80's and 90's. Him and his nasty colleagues used to wear gloves with lead in the knuckles. Saw a kid who was an innocent bystander eating a hot dog in the petrol station opposite the palace spitting his teeth out after coping a right hand by one of Lenny's boys. Horrible c++ts!!
@@fantasyproduct1042 would I ever say anything to offend him to his face back then? No!! Now he was a hard bastard, but a horrible bully that beat up kids for a living. Yes I know he suffered massively at the hands of his stepfather and he was phycology unstable, but he smashed young men up for fun. So therefore cannot except that he was a decent bloke.
@@trublu72lewis77 I absolutely agree. Most of his "fights" were him dishing out beatings. He was the Dave Courtney of that generation. No real "gangster" had a good word to say about him.
I met Lenny once in the late seventies , he was looking after mike Reid, he turned up an hour before to check out the venue, Shook hands with us all, mikes wife waited in a rolls Royce and gave us cigarettes, we were too young to get in the renown in shoeburyness Essex
It’s no surprise he had such angry inside. Being terribly physically abused as a kid will fuck anyone up for life. Very sad. I have huge respect for Lenny. He had a very tough life - he did what he had to do to survive and thrive. RIP Lenny.
I knew Lenny and reg Parker I am a south London boy, I trained at Reggie's Jim. These guys kept out neighborhood safe and sound, we loved having them around and they where Gentlemen. We like to have Gents like this around that way we all feel safe they look after there own. RIP Lenny and Reggie
Lenny recounts in his autobiography that as a supervisor for a window cleaning firm he would buy paypackets from the stationary supply shop,open the workers pay packets,take money out of each,throw the origional pay packets away and put the remainder in the new packets with a false figure written on the front.That's not taking off other criminals or wanna be gangsters,but the ordinary hard working man..Hardly the actions of a hero.
What he said about modern doormen holds true still. Worked doors for a lot of years, but wouldn't feel safe with some of the new breed on my team, not to say they're all bad, but the older breed came from a different time and had to learn from a different rule book...
a fucking moron. lenny lost to cliff fields twice, johnny waldron twice, an ancient roy shaw, and a light heavy from portsmouth called kevin paddock. also bullshits about getting shot outside a club. he was shot by a sparring partner he took liberties with. read judas pig.
I saw Lenny kick a Rasta’s arse outside the hippodrome in ‘95, Leicester Square, London . He was a gentleman until you did something wrong to him and he would turn in a sixpence to your worst nightmare. God bless Lenny and his family.
McLean never talks about duty of care or the people who come to nightclubs are there to enjoy themselves. You can see that as soon as he went to work as a bouncer at that nightclub on a Saturday night he was itching to make his presence felt and beat up some poor soul. Not everyone is a thug like McLean.
Love lenny. He's the type of character I wish could live forever. Absolute nice guy, but mess with and ur in big trouble!! It's a shame men like this and that generation are nearly all gone. R.I.P
He was a product of an absolutely hideous upbringing. He says as much himself. The less humans we have like this the better. I know people like this, it's a bloody shame for them really. No idea how to process their issues so they manifest as rage and anger.
Rest in peace ol'chum. Sorely missed by all that knew who you really were. A gentleman and a family man with a PTSD past like so many of US. But really, it was all about manners. Tough line of work.
RIP Lenny Mclean. You were a rock-hard gentleman and anyone would do well having you in their corner. As well as Lock, Stock..., he could of made some brilliant gangster movies.
Its just dawned on me how young our Lenny Boy was dya know something boys im forgetting, like im 47 myself and it made me take another step back that did when I saw he was only 49 when he died. Thats no age is it.
We got robbed of a fine actor when he died. He had incredible screen presence. Also, unlike a lot of hard men, he never came across like Daffy Duck being all over the top. He was very subtle. Very real. Shame he passed away.
Lenny Mclean was a real man fair play to him. He deserves respect and if you have no respect for him thats your loss. He will be remembered thats for sure.
Just watched this documentary clip… Maaaan, that Big Lenny is one awesome good guy….the other so-called security doormen appear woefully inadequate and totally out of Lennys league. Hope you resting peacefully Big Lenny McLean…you deserved a lovely retirement with your family….X
Find the whole documentary, it is honest and one of the best ever on the subject. The Irish guy and Lenny are both real, we wont have bouncers like this anymore, and I'm glad really lol, as one who grew up seeing guy's like them opened out, Lenny even says that himself. He is missed and it would have been fascinating to see what he did next
I wouldn't be surprised if he genuinely had 20 thousand fights & if you worked it out over a 30 year odd period. Week after week and month after month you wouldn't be that far off but saying that Lenny was probably giving a rough figure off the top off his head and he was a very intelligent man believe it or not. Very funny. A great actor and I can listen to him all day long.
Met him at Belmarsh prison in the early 1990's very intimidating man, if my memory serves he was housed in the prison hospital as the management didint want him on normal location.
+Mark McClennan Exactly. Guy looked like a genuinely descent bloke who had the simple philosophy of ''fuck with me and I'll fuck with you. Don't fuck with me and I'll buy you a pint''.
Have respect for a psychopath 😂😂🤣. You'll be bigging up the Krays next. The majority of these hard men were closet homosexuals who got off on other hard men.
Bob wall I kicked bruce lee's ass he can't name all of the fight because he fought over 3000 people why would he lie about that that just brings in challengers and if he was lying the those 9 wins in unlicensed boxing would turn to loses and no one would remember him
A lot of plastic hard cases do the tattoo and earing bit to make people think they are hard. If you look at the real deal in the likes of Lenny, Roy Shaw and Freddie Foreman you won't see any sign of either. They just walk silently but with a big stick (not literally).
Foreman was the undisputed Godfather and a lot more intimidating than Lenny in a very subtle but far more serious way. If Lenny was upset at you run until he cooled off, If Foreman was upset emigrate to the South Pole if you valued your life.
I encountered LEnny one night down my local (the pig and whistle) I was having a few white wine spritzers with some of my accountancy colleagues and in comes McClean. He saunters up to the bar all intimidating and shouts at the bar tender something like "oyyy oooyyy" like he is gonna give him a smack. I stood up and excused myself from my colleagues and walked over to where he was standing. He gave me a look as if he wanted to hit me and at that point he actually did lash out. What he didn't know is that after 3 or 4 spritzers I'm more animal than man and it was then that i caught him by the wrist and gave it a damn good squeeze. I could see the look of utter horror in his eyes as he knew he was about to be dominated. I proceeded to give him a darn good thrashing in front of shocked onlookers. After I had reduced him to a bloody pulp I proceeded to pull his trousers down and give him a good rogering to show my alpha male status. He was sobbing at the end and sniveling "no more, have mercy" It was then I woke up and my mummy asked if I wanted to have shreddies or coco pops for breakfast - the end.
Never met him, and glad I never did. Take a lot of the talk as building his rep, the guy fell into this way of life, providing for himself and family. People today have little clue how tough things used to be. Strikes myself as a decent guy until you cross him, or he is paid to cross you. He would have f8nished myself in under two seconds I reckon.
A rare and wonderful human being, so tragic that he had such a short life after such a terrible upbringing at the hands of his step father to then fight some comfort and peace before the cruel illness that took him away, god rest his soul.
‘These guys take two weeks to put up their hands.’ I LOVE that I’m not a tough guy, I’m fit, can do a lot of cool things. Getting my head caved in in search of a reputation isn’t one.
When I was young had bad kidney couldn't drink. Went to a club danced with friends had fun .after went to my car drunk mob wanted to beat me up was saved by bouncer thank you saved me.

A true man.
legends in there own minds , coffin full off dreams , hes brown bread
Says you....tough guy🤣
I highly doubt you'd have the sack to say to his face "you're a legend in your own mind" back in his day.
Lennys just like my mate, a very nice chap as long as you don't piss him off.
RIP lenny and Alan crossley two giants
20,000 bar fights, come on i know he was handy but 20,000 lol
when he was young and drinking alot when word got around that lenny was out, pubs would emty and people would go home
sounds like a proper bellend..
He was making a living from it... 30+ years of whooping ass probably involve about that many.
Sly Onfire He Did have 20,000 fights all in the same night as well!
The Countryman said
Lenny was twice stopped in matches against Cliff Field, and twice beaten by Johnny "Big Bad" Waldron .
Fields
👍
Kept that out his book, like
Yeah thats True in the Ring he did lose but on the Cobbles who knows ...
Just watching documentary on this man and Row Shaw.
These people are legends.
Proper awesome characters!
A lot of plastic hard cases do the tattoo and earing bit to make people think they are hard. If you look at the real deal in the likes of Lenny, Roy Shaw and Freddie Foreman you won't see any sign of either. They just walk silently but with a big stick (not literally).
Foreman was the undisputed Godfather and a lot more intimidating than Lenny in a very subtle but far more serious way. If Lenny was upset at you run until he cooled off, If Foreman was upset emigrate to the South Pole if you valued your life.
I encountered LEnny one night down my local (the pig and whistle) I was having a few white wine spritzers with some of my accountancy colleagues and in comes McClean. He saunters up to the bar all intimidating and shouts at the bar tender something like "oyyy oooyyy" like he is gonna give him a smack. I stood up and excused myself from my colleagues and walked over to where he was standing. He gave me a look as if he wanted to hit me and at that point he actually did lash out. What he didn't know is that after 3 or 4 spritzers I'm more animal than man and it was then that i caught him by the wrist and gave it a damn good squeeze. I could see the look of utter horror in his eyes as he knew he was about to be dominated. I proceeded to give him a darn good thrashing in front of shocked onlookers. After I had reduced him to a bloody pulp I proceeded to pull his trousers down and give him a good rogering to show my alpha male status. He was sobbing at the end and sniveling "no more, have mercy"
It was then I woke up and my mummy asked if I wanted to have shreddies or coco pops for breakfast - the end.
Lmao!!!!!! I loved that!!!
So you dream of bumming other men🤔🤔🤔🤔
Half way through I was thinking hmmmm this guys a fucking liar lol very funny ☺
@@Mtb-cp6gz yes, don't we all? Well alpha male's do at least I suppose?
When he pulls the look 😂😂
Fantasy product but you wouldn’t say that to him if he was around.
@@SkywatcherAnomalous89 I've seen him bottle it in real life son and he was gay
The editing for this video is all over the place.
The person who edited this video needs 30secs in an unlicensed ring with lenny.
Never met him, and glad I never did. Take a lot of the talk as building his rep, the guy fell into this way of life, providing for himself and family. People today have little clue how tough things used to be. Strikes myself as a decent guy until you cross him, or he is paid to cross you. He would have f8nished myself in under two seconds I reckon.
A rare and wonderful human being, so tragic that he had such a short life after such a terrible upbringing at the hands of his step father to then fight some comfort and peace before the cruel illness that took him away, god rest his soul.
‘These guys take two weeks to put up their hands.’ I LOVE that I’m not a tough guy, I’m fit, can do a lot of cool things. Getting my head caved in in search of a reputation isn’t one.
No thanks.
When I was young had bad kidney couldn't drink. Went to a club danced with friends had fun .after went to my car drunk mob wanted to beat me up was saved by bouncer thank you saved me.
Man of steel, man of truth, man of Respect. No one could deserve more than him to hold the Guvnor title.
My mate Johnny Waldron beat Lenny and knocked him out in one match..
