  It's been three years since The Guv'nor was published, turning bareknuckle fighter Lenny McLean into an unlikely cult hero. Lenny died shortly after his autobiography came out, devastating his wife, Valerie. In this text, Valerie reveals what it was like to be married to this formidable man. Lenny always said he had enough stories from his life to fill another book - now Valerie has done this. They started courting when she was eighteen, in the face of opposition from her family who knew Lenny's reputation as a tearaway. Her life from the point onwards was never dull, as she found herself dealing with the unpredictable Lenny, making cups of tea for a Mafia don, and coping with the aftermath of the shooting of her husband, who was hit in the back outside their front door.
