I don't know whether to name personal heroes/idols or famous folks, but I think of heroes as people who go out of their way and even put themselves at potential harm for others.

My personal ones would probably be my dad, my older sister, who was the most giving person I ever knew, and a fireman I once worked with, Lieutenant Kelly, who was quite literally the bravest, most courageous, noble guy I've ever known. He'd do anything to help others, and he risked his life to do so regularly.

Famous "pet" heroes? Probably Harriet Tubman. Cesar Chavez. Jimmy Carter. Che Guevara. Maybe Eleanor Roosevelt. And for their efforts toward civil rights, JFK, RFK and MLK.

I dont really have a hero as such, but i got alot of my fighting inspiration from Leonard "Lenny" McLean. He was friends with my old man, and i knew him for a few months before he died in 98. This month in 98 actually. He was britains hardest man, and king of bouncers. He was stabbed twise and shot twise all on separate attacks from behind [because no one would stand a chance head on] and it was cancer that eventually got him.
He used to be associated with the Kray Brothers as well.
He was born in East London, so him and my father saw each other fairly regularly. Hoxton is where he was born.
He done a stretch inside for about a year, maybe more coz some bloke he threw out of a club died of his injuries.
He taught me abit about fighting.
I'll always look up to him.

RIP Guv.

This is a pretty low quality vid, but theres not much on the net about Lenny video-wise.

You gotta listen, but he's talking about where i grew up[and where he grew up] and where i call home. He's right, it IS brutal.

I dont know if this will work, it's the first time i've tried to do a embedded youtube vid.

I cant do the embedded version for whatever reason, so heres the link.
