Heart of gold going a bit far. Didn’t he Torture and murdered a fair few people . Sure people would see it differently if it was their dad who had his fingernails ripped off, toes chopped with bolt cutters before being nailed to the floor

Yeah, when people were looking, then I bet soon as your backs turned he chopped off one of old Missus Badcrumbles toes and stole her half made knitted scarecrow.

Love the old “I met Charlie Bronson / kray / Frankie Fraser , nicest guy you could ever come across” brigade

Just because they said hello and didn’t chop your cock off .

You could leave your door open

Was only ever out the soup kitchen to give malnourished stray dogs a hearty meal

Different times. They only went after criminals. Women and children was safe (sic)

No innocent victims when it comes to armed robbery, murder, protection rackets, arson, torture etc…

They only bummed their own

That’s why I used sic

It’s the nonsense these apologists trot out and have done for decades.

Remember the photo of Bruno visiting Broadnoor and having a brew with the Yorkshire ripper .

“Had a coffee with Peter Sutcliffe. Nice guy. Speak as you find. Never did anything to me”

Saville in the mix too

It looks like John Ryder with Big Frank and Saville.

What was Bruno thinking ! Must have been taken by surprise.

I’m only played about btw they were all scum. Any one who idolises them is about 15 or needs their heads checked.

The “how would Lenny McLean and Roy Shaw do as a pro” brigade

If I'm not mistaken Shaw was a boxer in his youth. Lenny was largely an illusion. He may very well have been the toughest door man in all of England, but it's a well-known fact that these fights being billed as matches to the death were largely fixed or were guys who were damaged goods in some way.

Yeah , don’t doubt both would have a go

But the mystique either were more than rough guys is crazy

I think Bobby Gunn, who Enzo smoked in a round, is one of the top unlicensed/ Bare knuckle guys on the scene now

Lenny was franks cousin. Frank came out to saw he couldn’t stand him and that he was useless.

Useless a bit strong

But yeah - relatively speaking

I bet Lenny absolutely terrorised Frank

The BKB scene has changed a lot over the past few years. The Gunn's, McDonagh's, etc--- have all been replaced by more respectable and younger athletes as evident in organizations like BKFC featuring competitors from the MMA and gloved boxing world.

That being said, the best of the hardmen (strictly bareknuckle) I'd venture to say are Paddy Jaws Ward and Davey Joyce. Then again they had amateur boxing pedigrees to begin with. But they belong to no organization, just straight up mixers wherever they can be staged.

I think it was more than that. Because when Frank used to be on this website he basically said he started out his promotional career in the unlicensed circuit and Lenny was the main attraction. And to his own admission a lot of his fights were fixed.

Can’t see anyone terrorising frank. He’s too belligerent and stubborn.

If ever there was a male with “resting bitch face” it’s Frank

If there was a fire in the waxwork museum his would t need replacing

"5.0 out of 5 stars A good book for entertainment

It opens up people's book of life and tells me many things that I would never have experienced in my life. It was simple and funny in places. It's easy to read and it gave me laughters. If you are interested in this sort of stories and perhaps you are related to anything mentioned to the book, this is a nice choice. It's more like a personal diary than any other sophisticated novel, quite suitable for people like me don't want to think hard after work.
