Harry the Dog.

Millwall Football Hooligan Top Boy and The Man Who Taught Bruce Lee How to Fight

Harry the Dog gained notoriety as Britain’s most infamous football hooligan and was famously married to Theresa H., the most glamorous woman of the seventies. However, what many don’t realise is that Harry played a pivotal role in shaping the legendary Bruce Lee’s fighting skills. Without Harry’s mentorship, Bruce Lee might never have transformed into the iconic martial artist and film star he became.
In this captivating book, bestselling author Ian Drawie looks at the unique relationship between Harry and Bruce, revealing how Harry’s techniques – those that made him a feared figure in British football hooliganism – served as a foundation for Lee’s combat style. Drawie argues that the numerous fight scenes in Enter the Dragon and other Bruce Lee films were inspired by actual confrontations Harry had with fellow hooligans across the UK. While Bruce Lee is celebrated as a master of street fighting, this book uncovers the untold story of the true master behind his training: Harry the Dog.
