Big Guy

Big Guy tells the story of Marcus Redwood, widely known as the UK's most notorious nightclub doorman.Over a career spanning around 40 years, he had an estimated 3,000 fights on the doors of clubs and pubs in Southern England, and knocked out approximately 1,000 men, never losing in a one-on-one confrontation throughout his entire door work. Growing up on a small farm near the seaside town of Ramsgate, Marcus was subjected to vicious bullying at every school he attended.Angry and frustrated by the violence and intimidation he endured, he eventually resolved never to be bullied again and took up boxing. After his first unofficial door work for the landlord of his local pub when he was 16 (in return for free beer), his formal door security work started at age 18 - no training, uniforms, radios or metal detectors.He worked during the day cutting down trees for the local council, and at night on the doors of clubs and pubs.He was 6ft2ins and weighed 19.5 stone in his prime.
