Viv Graham and Lee Duffy led parallel lives as pub and club enforcesm
raging gangland turf wars with a fierce frenzy of brutality and
unremitting cruelty. This is a riveting double portrait of two of the
North East's most feared men whose bloody rivalry was cut short when
they each met horrifically violent ends. With a frightening capacity for
extreme violence, Tyneside hardman Viv Graham struck fear into the
hearts of his enemies, yet his benevolence tolocal charities was well
known. A legend in his own lifetime, he never forgot the deprived
community he came from, who, in times of need, considered him the forth
emergency service. Teeside drugs enforcer Lee Duffy was proud to be
known as Viv's arch enemy. He was feared and respected in equal measure,
but was desperate to get out of the game for the sake of his family.
However, Lee was so deeply involved that there was only one way he would
ever leave ... With unprecedented access to friends, family members and
associates, Stephen Richards dispels many of the myths surrounding these
legendary figures to create the ultimate biography of Britain's
deadliest rivals.
