Nobby just walked away from the sport altogether last i heard he was still working part time down Birmingham Wholesale Market as hes has for many years I beleive the landlord evicted him from his gym and Nobby just walked away which is a great shame coz he was a real character

Re: Where are they now?
i remember the boxing news editorials claude did after being allocated a ticket to a FW show by the man himself. claudes seat was right behind a huge view obscuring strut.
the spat between them was worth the magazine price alone

Think he just retired from promoting, he must of been in his 70's when he did that. Going by memory it must of been when Michael Brodie retired after losing to Harrison. 2005.hurlock wrote:What about jack tricket the old manc fella he dissapeared
