  Born in East London in 1949, Lenny McLean grew up in an area that had been ravaged by the Second World War. Although money was scarce and fighting was commonplace, a camaraderie and deep sense of honour and respect remained. A victim of violent abuse at the hands of his stepfather, Lenny spent much of his teenage life in borstal as he began to follow a life of crime. However, it was his ability as a fighter that was to turn his life around.Lenny McLean inspired fear in many, but respect from all, as he became a bare-knuckle fighting legend. His fame became even greater in later life, appearing in Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels just as his autobiography was reaching the top of the bestsellers chart. Lenny's untimely death from cancer in 1998 marked the beginning of the end of the old Cockney way of life and interest in his story has only increased since his passing, inspiring documentaries as well as a feature film, My Name is Lenny.In these unedited conversations between Lenny and his 'book man' Peter Gerrard, featuring many anecdotes that did not appear in The Guv'nor, we get to see the man behind the public image. As he looks back on his life, these transcripts reveal Lenny's humour and charm as well as the volatility that made him one of the most notorious figures ever to emerge from the East End.Although the original interview tapes have been lost, this immersive audiobook has replicated Lenny and Peter's conversations as they really happened.

  THE UNTOLD, INSIDE STORY OF MY LIFE AT RANGERS FC AND IN BUSINESS 
   
  Sir David Murray’s life story is a truly remarkable tale of never-say-die triumph over unimaginable adversity. 
   
  For 50 years he has been a towering figure in Scottish business, sport and philanthropy. His family name is synonymous with steel but his rise to power owes as much to mettle as it does to metal. 
   
  At the age of 24 he was involved in a horrific car crash in which he lost both of his legs. As his life hung in the balance, his days in hospital, drifting in and out of consciousness, were nightmare moments but ones that would define him. 
   
  And in the aftermath, when he finally pulled through, he had stark choices to make. ‘I could fight or I could give up,’ he said. ‘Turn left or turn right.’ David Murray almost always chose wisely and has never once shied away from big decisions. This is a man who thrived on the big stage, as the owner of Rangers Football Club during an unprecedented era of success. He won nine league titles in a row, oversaw some memorable European campaigns, all while rubbing shoulders with the likes of Paul Gascoigne, Graeme Souness and Sir Sean Connery. 
   
  He led the talks on the Old Firm clubs joining the English football pyramid, while his sale of the club to Craig Whyte set off a chain of events that eventually saw the club liquidated. 
   
  Now, for the first time, and in his own words, he is offering a deeply personal insight into his extraordinary life and how he courageously recovered from his accident and then went on to become such a successful entrepreneur. 
   
  He also gives us his thoughts on the Old Firm rivalry, explains why Celtic Park wasn’t the most hostile ground in Scotland for Rangers to visit... and describes how he beat world champion Stephen Hendry at snooker!

  Costa Brava Las mejores excursiones

  La Costa Brava modela la fachada marítima de las comarcas catalanas del Alt y Baix Empordà y de la Selva, desde Portbou, en la frontera con Francia, hasta la desembocadura del río Tordera en Blanes. Se trata de uno de los litorales más pintorescos de España, formado por acantilados abruptos, bosques de pinos, calas recónditas y playas de ensueño.
  
  Esta costa debe su relieve accidentado a una serie de sistemas montañosos que caen en picado sobre el mar Mediterráneo, formando acantilados rocosos que le dan un aspecto salvaje, con pequeñas calas donde los pinos remojan sus pies en el mar y extensos arenales –como el golfo de Roses o la playa de Pals– que confieren variedad al paisaje.
  
  Los Pirineos no se resignan a perder su carácter de alta montaña al llegar a la Costa Brava, mantienen su personalidad y nos regalan bellos pueblos de pescadores y villas rurales colgadas de las alturas, humedales costeros de delicado equilibrio ecológico y hayedos que crecen al amparo de umbrías empinadas. El extremo oriental del Pirineo ha sido, desde siempre, un lugar de paso entre los pueblos y culturas de la península ibérica y el resto de Europa, lo que ha dejado en el territorio un legado muy preciado. Este patrimonio histórico-artístico, enclavado en el punto de encuentro del mar y la alta montaña, conforman un atractivo territorio para los paseos y excursiones.
