What a legacy , knocking out people that are there to protect the public from bullies , chancers and knobheads . Fantastic role model 🙄

[@j50wells]

Actually, the bouncers are usually the bullies

[@captainplatinum]

@@j50wells when did you last go to a club? Granted there may be the odd idiot , but the vast majority are licensed and registered . Not called bouncers anymore . They are there to protect and assist .

[@j50wells]

@@captainplatinum Don't get me going. The injustices are unreal. I have had nights, that if they happened at a grocery store, city street, or grocery story, every bouncer would be in jail.

@@j50wells the exception does not prove the rule . This idiot had no idea if they were good or bad , or whether they were a good person trying to feed his family . He was driven by ego. Not some sort of moral compass . You believe what you want, I’ve seen thousands of blokes like this .

[@j50wells]

@@captainplatinum I get it, Will, you're a bouncer, or have friends that are bouncers. You want to protect your job and feel good about it. The fact is, we have to have bouncers. The other fact is that many young men are bouncers, and they aren't always right and are not always good. Look, I worked security for a couple of years when I was in college. I know how young men become yahoos, just looking for an excuse to put the hurt on someone. Often time they overstep their bounds. Its just a fact. It can even be worse in bars because of the alcohol fueled crowd that you are policing. I don't hate bouncers. We couldn't have bars without them. Imagine how out of control a bar would be without security around. But this doesn't deduce the fact that many bouncers are bullies. Many of them are mouthy and enjoy excercising their postion over others. And yes, many of them are not fair whatsoever.

What a strange perspective. Personally I think Shaun likes to study certain characters in terms of a psychological perspective. I must self am fascinated by criminals because of the their mindset of the attitude that they will not conform to society and have an anti authoritarian outlook ! C'mon you got to have some balls to dare to question "why should I " and "no , I'm behaving the way I want to " . However your right in saying that in a lot of cases actions like this will often result in a premature death.

[@HisrealnameisLukeFury]

No doubt these stories get exaggerated as time goes by, it will go from 1 bouncer to 3 to 5 to 7 to the point where he reaches mythical status. Lee Duffy was nothing but a street thug who assaulted innocent members of the public for no reason. Like any street hard man there was always someone out there who was tougher than him. He was no Mike Tyson Muhammed Ali or Wlad Klitschko or Stipe Miocic or Francis Ngannou all of whom would have chewed him up and spat him out.

Yup I’ve read and read and read about the Duffy era and I used to work in boro and met lots of guys from boro and I’ve no doubt Duffy was a very powerful aggressive man , but I’m lead to believe that 90 percent of The so called fights he had , he hit first ( sucker punched ) his victims He even sucker punched Brian Cockerill the first time they met , when Brian friendly introduced himself , when Duffy went to Newcastle trying to antagonise Viv graham , he sucker punched many of vivs bouncers I don’t care what anyone says , sucker punching anyone is a cowardly thing to do I wonder how many people he would have knocked out , if all the ones he did knock out by sucker punching them , but instead , they shook hands , stepped back , and raised there hands and then started a fight fair and square like the travelling people do to settle their disputes

[@MAJAYTEST123]

@@boyasaka probably 5%, I have always said if you sucker punch someone you should knock them out. Every town /city/ area has their hard men and in my experience all of the hard men/ names never had. Fights, they just whacked people when they not ready or unwilling to fight back for fear of repercussions. Tbh I been in the fighting game for a long time and all the names around my way would have got beat by people I trained with if there was no retaliation and and even fight.

I also got on with Lee down club Havana. I spoke to him in Havana on the night he was killed. He was a good lad if you were on the right side of him. He did live those last few years at 100 mph. Oh just to add, he always wore shorts at club Havana.

Could he knock out 3 to 4 bouncers ?

Love how people here are happy to call lee on here. Would you have stood up to him face to face??? 🤔No ofcoarse you wouldn’t. Because you would have been terrified of the site of him

Yeah cuz he was a nasty bastard who went around sucker punching people half the size of him for the fun of it. It's nothing to be proud of.

They are big steroid guys, probably have practical experience. Pretty sure that an average bouncer can beat 99%of the population.

It sounds here like Viv was scared of Per which wasn't true, Viv was up for fighting Lee but they couldn't set it up in time prior to both being murdered

[@vigilantevoicefromtheschem5846]

@Jackson Freediver Viv had accepted a £50k a side bareknuckle all in fight with Lee with a old time Geordie gangster, none of these youngsters who were ages with Viv and Lee a real Geordie gangster had arranged the fight. Viv could fight like fuck, was terribly strong, could punch like a truck, had been attacked with metal poles so could take a beating and he could wrestle a bit too. A guy like that doesn't get scared of a one man fight and if he was scared he would have set Lee up and just shot him

@@k1dn1ce76 you've read too many books mate, The two were scheduled to fight in a warehouse when Lee was murdered in 91, They were fighting for £10k a side and a well known older villain I'm not naming was putting the fight on. Both Lee and Viv have had their notoriety built upon their death because I could name 25 travellers to beat with man bareknuckle, I could name villains from all over the UK that both would take a back seat too. IF Lee was so desperate for the fight to take place he would have fought for free and just turned up at Viv's pubs until he bumped into him and the scrap coulda happened

I dont know if it was his real dad, step dad or close family friend but there was a guy my dad hung out with called Chips Rafferty (must've been a nickname) who Lee used to call dad and always bought him and my dad drinks and was nothing but a complete gentleman to my dad. Also know a guy who sold hash (wont give a name) someone pranked him and told him Lee was looking for him so the guy took it upon himself and gave him some money, basically accidentally started taxing himself.

Hey Shaun, i was in club Havana Middlesbrough one Saturday night in the Summer of 1991, the dance floor was bouncing as usual everybody off it. Lee Duffy walked in with just shorts bare chested no top on, he stopped the music and made everybody get off the dance floor, he then went onto the dance floor and had a dance on his own to "Shades of Rhythm - Sounds of Eden" whilst smoking a spliff, everybody just surrounded the dance floor and watched on. I remember it like it was yesterday. He died not long after.
