He was a lovely man and a great referee, and I wish I had seen him as a fighter. Watched him (as a referee) stop Carlton Warren against Prince Rodney on one of those old Fight Nights. It ranks as one of the best stoppages I have ever seen.

Try and see if the Boxing Board of Control will have a contact no for the Central Area council as he was general secretary there. They might put you in the right direction
