From the author of the best-selling Paul Sykes books Unfinished Agony and Further Agony Jamie Boyle. I spoke to some family members, some enemies, some famous, some infamous, some people who knew him in person.

Bullied as a kid, Duffy later found himself in the same youth offenders unit as one of the bullies and he beat them up and tormented them without mercy.It includes pictures of when Lee Duffy was a youngster growing up in South Bank, as well as documenting Brian's bodybuilding career too. In additon, it is clear to deduce from the firsthand stories and with a touch of common sense, that Lee only looked for fights with blokes who could handle themselves. He had a lot of attacks in his life; he had petrol poured over him, he was hot in the foot, shot in the knee. Containing many first hand and previously unheard accounts from some of Duffy's closest friends and associates, this book will finally confirm who the man was and what he was really all about.

This book contains first- hand accounts from those who knew Duffy and wished to share their memories of him, whether in a flattering or unflattering way. Blind and transgender, this woman is set for an inspirational homecoming in memory of 'proud' dad; Sarah Stephenson-Hunter began gender transition. He is often sought out by production and film companies and has advised on Panorama and Trevor McDonald's Tonight to name a few. Jamie added: “I grew up in Middlesbrough and heard of Lee Duffy when I was eight and he died when I was 11.He also hopes to turn youths away from a life of crime too, and warns youngsters of the dangers of knife crime on Facebook. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Written by Brian Cockerill, his wife Emma, and Steve Wraith, the preface of the book says it is a "true account of what really happened in Teesside in 1991". Everyone knew Lee's existence on this planet would be brief, but the news Teesside was waking up to that gloriously sunny morning would rock it to it's foundations. You came like a comet, Blazing your trail too high, Too far, Too soon, You saw the Whole of The Moon.

At first i struggled with this book till i "got" the authors writing style, its as if he is simply telling you the story face to face in his own conversational style ,as opposed to trying to "tell" a story.I know that this book will get a mixed reaction but to this day he is still talked about”, Jamie added. No stone will be left unturned, and this book will not shy away from controversy but will aim to provide an unbiased and balanced view on the "Boro" icon. No stone will be left unturned and this book will not shy away from controversy, but will aim to provide an unbiased and balanced view on the ‘Boro' icon . He had a really troubled childhood, he had a father whose behaviour would just not be acceptable in the modern day.

Lee Duffy was a well-known boxer and bouncer from South Bank in Middlesbrough who was feared by many people on Teesside throughout the 1980s before his death in 1991. Bought this book on the Friday finished it Saturday couldn’t put it down well written well worded Jamie Boyle done lee justice long awaited truth some parts were funny but overall it was a very sad book the bullying. Despite being a thorn in the side of Cleveland Police, he was recounted as being surprisingly helpful and polite to officers who arrested or questioned him. No stone will be left unturned and this book will not shy away from controversy, but will aim to provide an unbiased and balanced view on the 'Boro' icon .It is important that we continue to promote these adverts as our local businesses need as much support as possible during these challenging times. The latter half of the book recounts how Brian began to turn his life around for better by becoming a believer in God and being baptised in the North Sea. Featuring well known stories that have since become legend across Middlesbrough as well as tales never heard before, the book paints a picture of two men who started out as enemies, and became the best of friends. A bar with only a loose grip on rules, it had gloriously graffitied toilets, a bit out the back, which became a space for the London graffiti community to paint and gather, and a free gallery space upstairs where Banksy held his first Santa’s Ghetto/first London show, FAILE and Bäst did their first UK show and many, many others exhibited. There was another side to Lee that has never really been properly documented until now, and the author has certainly done that in a fair, balanced and respectful way with this book.
