For twenty years, legendary hard man Bartley Gorman reigned supreme in the most brutal of all pursuits: illegal bareknuckle prize fighting. He challenged infamous London brawlers Lenny McLean and Roy Shaw - neither accepted - and fought down a mineshaft, in a quarry, at horse fairs, on camp sites, in bars and clubs, and on the street. After surviving a brutal attempt on his life by a mob, he became a living legend. Here, Gorman tells an uncompromising but touching story of a man compelled by the weight of his own family history to fight and suffer pain. Illustrated throughout.

  • More than a fighting man.

    A great read I could not put down, a man of principle and values little seen in today society, holding a title hard fought and hard to keep were the whole world comes looking for you. Coming from a long line of fighting men and family honour to uphold - not an easy job to take on.

  • An interesting read with photos too.

    An interesting read, it seems true and authentic. For me the moral of the book is that even if you are the best fighter and are undefeated, still you will lose as ultimately fighting benefits no-one!
