Paul Douglas

[steve689]

Does anybody know which Olympics Paul Douglas fought for Ireland in? And any weight/details etc of his performance?

I take it, it was the same Douglas that later fought Kevin McBride as a pro?

Cheers fellas.

Paul Douglas fought at 91 kg at the 1992 Olympics. First he beat John Pettersson (SWE) 8-1, then he upset Alexey Choudinov (CIS) 15-9 and then he lost in the quarter-finals to Arnold Vanderlijde (NED) RSCI 1.

Arnold Vanderlijde

Boy - does that name bring back memories! He was HUGE/TALL!!! I can't remember his nickname -"Stork," or something like that.
