Lenny McLean Rare Interview

[@sadikmeah4057]

After watching this I am going to give my little daughter a cuddle. It makes me sad to see how childhood experiences can really affect people in later life. Imagine this man had a better upbringing. Together with his grit and determination he would have made a great success of himself in a field where he didnt need to feed off hate all the time. And expose himself to a lifetime of pain and settling scores. Im glad though that in the end he made a success out of the life he chose. RIP Lenny,

[@Revelian1982]

+Sadik Meah Yeah, but he wouldn't have been in Lock Stock, so it's swings and roundabouts, really.

[@sadikmeah4057]

Revelian1982 True. But I was more talking about the inner self. He didn't look content. It was more a case of just getting on with life. I don't think appearing in Lock Stock makes up for all the shit he had to go through.

[@Revelian1982]

Sadik Meah Well I think it does. Fabulous film.

[@sadikmeah4057]

Revelian1982 Maybe if he appeared in Godfather then it would be a different story....

[@Revelian1982]

Sadik Meah He would have made a decent Luca Brazzi.

[@Jimmy-B-]

Love the way he says fowar (for) really old school. He says it in lock stock and two smoking barrels. “Very nice Harry, whats fowar!”

[@XxTHEGAMERxX1]

I have alot of respect for Lenny. He is a legend and has surely lived, may he rest in peace.

[@hotpotat0es]

Good job you weren't a close friend then ,he beat his best mate nearly to death in a bar over a disagreement..what a lovely man .even his own daughter said he had violent outbursts ..

[@hotpotat0es]

@@iainpattison903 it happened in the book he wrote ..read it

[@hotpotat0es]

@@iainpattison903 both Roy Shaw and Frank warren said Lenny was a terrible bully .He would buy Kelly his daughter 30 chocolate Easter eggs but fly into a rage if she chewed her dinner too loudly.. he was capable of terrible acts of violence.and acts of tenderness. doctors told her he had a bad case of bipolar .There were times I hated him and I looked at him like he was a bully. She said ..She believes if he’d had the right medication as a young man his life could have been completely ­different. Kelly has spent her adult life trying to get to grips with the demons of her childhood. It got to the stage where I couldn’t even laugh at his jokes. We did live in fear of him, but I didn’t understand he had this condition. So Lenny wasnt the angel everyone thinks .but his childhood had alot to do with it ..

R.I.P. GUV'NOR A TRUE LEGEND

[@raffles1121]

Of course Lenny left the losses out of his book , who ever wants to admit losing lol i had the pleasure of meeting Lenny twice before he died , he was a polite , respectful man who always made time for those who were polite to him , in some ways , he had a character very similar to Roy Shaw , both were genuine guys RIP Lenny and Roy

[@paulatreides0777]

Much safer than Roy Shaw

[@fozaldo]

This man was a fucking mountain, not only physically but as a character too. It's almost unbelievable just how fucking hard he was.

[@stitcha123]

@@iainpattison903 he was a bullshitter and a bully.

[@jeffstevens4262]

Only one real & true Guv'nor. RIP Lenny.

[@BigJonP1979]

I want to say something here. Lennys book was almost like a manual to me in terms of how a real man should conduct himself and how he should behave and I like to think that book and the way Lenny was rubbed-off on me. I have worked in some evil places and fought some hard men. I was known as a nasty, evil, spiteful bastard to wronguns, but to good people I was regarded as a kind, friendly, nice guy. And to me, that is what Lenny was all about. A genuinely Lovely man who did what he had to do.

If I was Lenny's dog I wouldn't move without without permission either.

[@holysht2462]

@@GoGetYourShinebox nah the joke I’m making is that Lenny looks like a human version of a bulldog

[@FiveElms]

Lovely man, would love to have had a drink with him.

[@Sonnyboyx2]

you could not go to the pub for a drink with this guy, because like all bullies they are terrified to go to a pub on their own, in case someone kicks fuck out of them. Bullies like McLean only claim to fame is beating up drunks. he was a steroid freak and braggart who would get laid-out in any town on a saturday night.

[@FiveElms]

You dont know anything about what i can or cant do. You are just speaking for yourself, not me. I would of loved to have a drink with him . Full stop.

[@justinhibbert3987]

Sonny boyo why comment when you know fuck all you mug

[@Ricky2901]

@OfficialGuvnor spot on and shame there aren't more people about like Lenny today

[@raskit975]

Read his book it's called the guv'nor it's a very good read, I personally would of liked to have met him but not on the cobbles R.I.P lenny

[@Ph3adz]

Legend.. RIP

[@OfficialGuvnor]

Well said man.

[@tylahblack1673]

Lenny: "have you heard me talk American" Also lenny: *speaks like a high Brit*

[@hiyadroogs]

@fabregasfan1 Someone once asked Lenny who he might regard as a hero. He thought for a while, & replied 'Mother Theresa'... That gives you a far greater insight into the true man than his bare knuckle fights & street rep ever could. Behind the public persona was a proper man, a good friend, husband & father. He deserved a much kinder conclusion to his life than the one he got.

[@paulconnelly4050]

“I love Prince Diana” 😂😂😂

[@seanmwh]

It’s totally understandable how he turned out as he did really you don’t just shake off that level of trauma

[@Dalboy.]

Top man all day long

[@InnocenceExperience]

wow he could do a decent American accent! Len had talent. Doing a Brando monologue- classic!

[@stevenast9853]

what a true geezer rip lenny

[@oman0115]

As much as this guy was probably when said and done a nasty piece of work, to respect his Mother's dying wishes like that in face of extreme rage and frustration, wow! Got to hand it to him that's extremely honourable, he earnt his Shandy!

Looks like frank butcher from eastenders only with no glasses

Certainly sounds like him 😜

[@aleco71]

[@CockneyRebel1979]

@OfficialGuvnor When Lenny used his proper LONDON accent, he talked like my old man talks- (my old man's a Shoreditch boy, by the way, although he was raised in Stamford Hill- NORTH London.) :)

[@jasonwilliams8055]

I loved lenny, great man

[@SistorCarrera]

fair play to u Len RIP

[@BigJonP1979]

Also, if someone wants to mug-off a wonderful man (which Lenny was) in the way some have, perhaps they should get their money together and pay a visit to the many genuinely hard-men who hold Lenny in almost sacred status. Infact, I would gladly bash them up for free.

[@MrStonecold69]

i wish lenny was still around MINISTER FOR JUSTICE the country would not be fucked up then A TRUE LEGEND

[@7haglar]

@ThePelly theres still a few about,,, met this guy inside a while back, he was a bit special, john errol heibner, friend of roy shaws and lennys and the krays,, he was the hardest man in the prison system for many a year,

[@OfficialGuvnor]

Yeah it sucks, he died way to young.

[@thefriendsociety]

this guy is the ultimate badguy! him and vinnie jones should have teamed up more then just lock, sotck!

[@imnumbtoit]

Very good...you proved my point.

my dad and his brother used to be really close friends :P

[@scoldedcat]

He was a scream as Barry the Baptist.

[@ThePelly]

We need more hard men like the Guv'nor around. men like him, Brian Cockerill, Charlie Bronson, the Krays. Good men with principals. Not like these cowards in the streets who pick a fight only if they have a numbers advantage, or a weapon, or they're fighting a woman, child, or the elderly. RIP Lenny, Ronnie & Reggie. Gone, but never forgotten, and an inspiration to us all.

[@nordicwarrior5014]

Degenerate criminals the lot of them. God Bless.

[@robertward3038]

Can't see no fights of his on video, he was fighting in the 80 & 90 there was cam corder about then.

[@OfficialGuvnor]

A few broken bones and a bunch of beatings won't kill you, unless you're a total wimp. In his book he does state that he was almost killed once by his father during one of the beatings.

Nope, his name was John McCormack

[@garydoyle2618]

What's with the dog ? lol

[@Revelian1982]

No. Wank means masturbation. A wanker is someone who masturbates, but is generally used in the UK to denote a generally unpleasant person.

Wat age you now??

[@bigboaby555]

yeah the mafia story may be fantasy but i think saying he was talentless and an overweight bum is a bit extreme . at his peak he was in shape , sharp and an animal . look at all bareknuckle fighters none of them are ripped like Tyson !

[@JakeeItsHim]

@xVeXxeD yeah he is

[@pinkpig145]

He didn't class him self as a gangster, he just had mates who was. He wanted to be a boxer, so stop piping up

but i had a shandy that night

Why did Lenny's mum, Rose, not stop Lenny's step-dad (Jim Irwin) from committing GBH on Lenny when he was a boy? She should have divorced Jim Irwin. Child abuse is EVIL.

in his book didnt he say he got his uncle to batter his step father?
