War nearly broke out when a Blackpool bouncer visited Greater Manchester
Steve Sinclair had been a bouncer in Blackpool since the age of 18 and built up a reputation as the Golden Mile's hardest man. Standing at 6ft 2ins and weighing 17 and a half stone, Sinclair, who once fought all-time boxing great Sugar Ray Leonard in an exhibition bout aboard a cruise ship and appeared in the documentary series Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men, was not a fella to be tangled with.
"As the afternoon moved into the evening the pub was still quite busy," writes Sinclair in his memoirs The Blackpool Rock. " were sat talking to some nice people we had just met when a team of lads about 12 strong came walking into the pub. Within seconds all hell broke loose. "I punched him on the chin and kept walking forward as he fell to the ground," writes Sinclair.
Luckily before Sinclair could inflict any lasting damage his mates intervened. 'Steve it's over, you can let him go now," said one as he prised him off. The scrap was over almost as soon as it had begun. "I had reached into my back pocket for the cutthroat razor and was bringing it up with the full intention of slitting his nose right down the middle."
