I made a couple of mistakes in This podcast it is my bipolar, I can only apologise , I don't sometimes listen to the question properly love kelly mclean xx
@@kellymclean1824 I mean it you came across really well. I have been told many times from family they think I have bipolar. Just be yourself you did great
@@kellymclean1824 look forward to seeing you on more podcasts. Just be yourself you have a million stories to tell and I can’t wait. Take care god bless
Kelly really reminds me of growing up in the East end. My family were full of strong women like her. Proper Cockney, proper hard work, fiercly loyal decent people.
Hi James this for me was great therapy just two people talking about many aspects of life. You have went from strength to strength in so many ways. I wish Kelly all the best I got alot from her too.
What a great honest interview, I love hearing Kelly talk as reminds me of my parents and grandparents as they were old fashioned Londoners, I love it. True honest people real Londoners are. Hearing the words they use 😊 Rip both your parents ❤
Regards James, Totally refreshing insight into the life of Kelly. I loved Lenny as a bloke and respect his struggle in the era he lived. Personally it only enhanced my belief that to many of the good people in this world are taken before their time. I wish her all the best for the future and hope people appreciate her story. Regards Kelly all the best Paul ,👍💯🤓loving your accent babe.
Just finishing the Guv’nor and will be reading Kelly’s book after. What a sobering insight into life. My wife has bi-polar and life isn’t easy sometimes, you are a rock and give me hope for the future. Thank you.
Great interview!! Kelly comes across like a really genuine lady that has had to be strong in order to deal with the shit life has thrown at her. We are all fragile no what we think or see. Good luck for the future Kelly I see nothing but happy times.🙏 PS…. Totally agree with the cold shower every morning, swear by it!!
I can relate to a lot of what Kelly says here...I grew up in a kids home run by Barnardo's...I was abused...I have self harmed tried & to kill my self on more than one occasion...still living with suicide thoughts.... I have to say what a wonderful woman... so open & honest with such strength of character...it's very obvious where she gets that from...I really want to thank her because she has given me hope....I have watched this video for the 4th time now...your Mum & your Dad would be so proud of you...I have the upmost respect for you Kelly...Best Wishes...big love to you & your family... tc sweet...bless ya xxx :)
Many years ago I was decorating brothels behind Kings Cross with my estranged dad & had left my keys in my van - Kelly (she was in her hard drugs phase at the time) walked passed & let me know & we had a long chat about her dad as I knew him from being head bouncer at The Astoria. 🤩👍
@@abeljames4702 I'm not talking about now, I'm talking about over 20 years ago. I'm talking about the relative that he disowned who was a skaghead that burgled him & took his wife's jewelry so may not have been Kelly but Lenny briefly mentioned who I am talking about in his book The Guvnor.
I worked the Astoria for a number of years with a well established firm at the time (Topguard Security). Lenny was head bouncer down the road at the Hippodrome so I think you may have your wires crossed. Maybe he went on to become the Astoria security as my boss and a few other collogues went on to become Oasis secutrity/bodygaurds so had other interests. My mate Johnny Waldron beat Lenny twice and although I have never heard this disputed it is also has never really been acknowledged. Unfortunately John has alzheimers now and I have not seen him for a number of years. I would love to of got him on James's show. Dennis Andries damaged his eye and John had his licence revoked for health reasons so took up the unlicensed side. Getting back to Lenny, Richie Anderson was a good pal and associate and provided support when it looked like there was going to be some sort of off when he did the famous Shaw fight. As for Barry Dalton the man was rocking the boat big time and had it coming from one direction or another eventually.
I've only just in the last week started watching this podcast and it's the first I've ever come across. All new to me podcasts, and I just wanted to say this video has just touched me and I think I've realised I may need to see someone, as i may have bipolar and I want it to stop. Thank you James
I absolutely love the podcasts James keep it up brother I suffer from psychosis depression anxiety and panic attacks it is hard im currently in the middle battling mental health
There’s a big mistake here, at 7:02 the interviewer mentions “Lenny’s abusive stepdad Jimmy Spinks” and Kelly agrees that’s him. Jimmy Spinks was Lenny’s great uncle, a kind man, who Lenny’s mum called on when Lenny’s brother Raymond was severely beaten with a belt by the stepdad. Spinks, a well known local hardman, came round and beat Lenny’s stepdad half to death and said if ever he had to come round to protect the children again he would give the stepdad “a face like mine” - Spinks had scars all over his face from street fights throughout his life. Lenny’s stepdad was called Jim Irwin, an evil man who beat Lenny and his brother severely as children. I know all this as I’ve read Lenny’s autobiography ‘The Guvnor’ several times.
Hi kel..just want to say how much i enjoyed your podcast.so wonderfull honest,& your delivery is fantastic .i also wanted to say? I was a friend of your mums(val) when we was at school shorditch! And one day she said to me..come on we will go home for lunch? It was a house in hoxton,& as i walked in ther was a downs boy in ther, and id never seen one b4 lol..but im nearly 73 and it still sticks in my mind all these yrs afterwards...you might have come across me im jan palmer eastend singer 😂and by the way kel im a jack daniels girl aswell...so keep up the good work hun, i really enjoy the casts good luck hun..❤
@ac8 ..so because we pay respect to our father's that makes us bible rejecting atheists....your on the wrong channel ...but your right ..I am an atheist..not because of the size of my father's hands ...because I don't live my life based upon a fairy tale ...don't put your insecurities on to others ...if you need an archaic book to guide you then that's fine ..but don't push your shite onto others ....you sound like a crank ...
Guys like Lenny and Roy were just a different breed of British men. That breed is no longer here anymore. That’s why I believe there’s such interest in them despite all the years that’s passed.
Lenny was a gentleman provided you didn't take the piss. He had such a presence and on the door he was the Guv'nor. I remember him on the door at Cairo Jacks in the Westend he was a big old unit.
Yeah go to any popular pub or club on the weekend you're always going to have have some people causing trouble so you need people like Lenny who are a bit scary and intimidating after all they're not going to behave because some polite bloke with a lanyard tells you that your behaviour is unacceptable
Lenny McLean was a very tough guy In his day- he beat a lot of big guys with big names and so on))) Kelly and Jamey were very young kids when there parents passed!!! God you Kelly your looking very well darling)) I bought your book and still reading it and I love every line on it !!! May your parents rest in peace in heaven God bless you and your family and friends))) Lenny was one of a kind!!! Trade word of Lennys was minding a few pubs - ya got to like the man))) Was waiting a long time for this podcast and I really enjoyed it!!! Kelly you are a lovely person inside and out (( Keep the big fellas name alive!!! Good bless you Jamie!!!!
I’ve researched and read a whole bunch of stuff on auld hard geezers. And there’s no doubt about it, from what I’ve studied, Lenny McLean was the hardest, strictest, most protective, loyal gentleman I’ve ever read about.
I used to go to the Music Machine in Camden in the early eighties and Lenny was the door, he was strict but fair and he saved my Punk arse from a bunch of NF Skinheads one night and let me in free, an absolute legend.
Always say James that was a good one her dad was a legend but you can see in around heart she's going to be a Legend 2 fair play to her keep up the good work James
LENNY MCLEAN WAS THE HUMAN INCREDIBLE HULK, FORMIDABLE BEAST, HE WAS THE “ GOVERNOR “ ALSO WAS THE KRAYS RIGHT HAND MAN, SO SAD HE PAST AWAY YOUNG, R.I.P LENNY 🙏🙏🙏🙏😎🦋🐝🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
James you did it again. Thanks sooo much. I love all your guests.but the women inparticular. What a lovely lady , great to hear her story. I also work with kids with behaviour issues. A challenging job, but cant help taking them under my wing. Im all for the under dog
I made a couple of mistakes in This podcast it is my bipolar, I can only apologise , I don't sometimes listen to the question properly love kelly mclean xx

You always has the best people James, fair play to her for being so honest, you've got to face your Demons. Lenny was a huge personality, RIP
She’s very down to earth this was another good one lenny is a legend thanks for sharing your story Kelly
Brilliant interview james , just so natural witty and real, straight from the heart well done kell 😘 xxxx
What a lovely lady Kelly is, could listen to her all day long x
Top actor Lenny, shame he didn’t find it earlier
Yeah, he really could act to a high standard
@@keithchegwin1222 He was good in The Knock; very plausible.

Imagine her taking you home & Lenny greets you at the door! 😆
Bit hard when he's 6ft under
It would be awkward if you was one of the guys or related to them who did lenny i guess ,
Cliff fields etc
Yeah I'd just say "lenny boy ya shoe laces are undone " and boooom knock him clean out !!
Greet him with the traditional Maori hongi & pukana
Enjoyed that 👌🏻👌🏻
What a lovely lady! You can tell within seconds that she has been raised by a warrior and a gentleman. Good on ya!
It just shows that you can turn your life around respect to this young lady
Warren is a shyster who rips off fighters
James, getting Guy Ritchie on would be a top top guest!
Great shout!
Great interview again James, Kelly seems like a decent person - All the best to you for the future!
Best book ever👊🏻GUVNER👊🏻
Tru inspiration💔 top guy
I've just ordered a copy.

Yep and really pleased there’s not people like it around anymore no one likes a bully.
John Waldron beat him twice a more admirable man.
I used to see Lenny jogging over Victoria park when I was kid as you could imagine we were all over him.! He was always a gentleman.!
RIP THE GUVNOR.!
Lenny is a legend
She was a stunner back in the day!
Didn’t know what to expect from this but I’m glad I watched it. Her own story is interesting it’s not all about her dad.
when she said lenny was all natural and lifted heaviest weight in the uk i switched off
Same
🤣🤣🤣 yup, next
I thought Brian Cockerill did that?
Brilliant podcast james keep up the good work james x
