Outside the court, his mother said: "It's not a true verdict. There is only one good thing that has come out of this - Lee would not have wanted him to go to jail because Lee was not a man who wanted anyone to go to jail. Lee could have accepted it, but it is different for me." Up until the age of about 14, Lee was severely bullied himself and he’d often run home crying his eyes out. He had a really troubled childhood, he had a father whose behaviour would just not be acceptable in the modern day. He was a heavy drinker who would beat him and Lee had many family problems.

Prior to his violent death in 1991, the ex-boxer and bouncer had already survived three alleged attempts on his life - he was shot on two occasions and once had petrol poured over him. I would often hear Lee punching walls with towels wrapped around his hands. I even heard Lee fighting with two screws once and I could hear them reeling from him banging body shots into them. Operation Sayers is a book that delves into the lives of Stephen Sayers and his brothers John Henry and Michael, from childhood in Newcastle's West End right up to the present day. From what I've heard mate, from a good source, he was a bit of a bully and he wasn't what you would call a hard fella.Written by close family friend Steve Wraith, the book features unseen court documents, statements and interview recordings to explore the notorious family's past, and police's attempts to bring them down, Chronicle Live reports. Jamie said he decided to research Lee’s life as he wanted to find out how one young man became so renowned. The court heard heard movie-like tales of Duffy's violent ways with details of his gun-toting exploits. Duffy had played "Russian roulette" with a loaded revolver, declaring himself "invincible".

Lee Duffy is said to have had a close friendship with Stephen after they first met as youngsters in Low Newton Remand Centre in 1982.I never met Viv but his story is legendary," said Gary. "It is going to be an honour portraying him in the film. I have never done any acting before, but I hope this film does well and it leads to other opportunities." There were a few times where I had told him something about someone and then later on if we bumped into that person he would repeat what I had said about them to their face.

For Duffy's funeral in September 1991, hundreds of people lined the streets and two lorries were needed to carry the floral tributes. Many from Middlesbrough’s seedy underworld vied for the top criminal spot left by Duffy. Duffy was one of the most feared hard men in the region and wreaked havoc until his death at the age of 26 in 1991.
