DANNY COSTELLO - HOLLINGTON ABC - 3x ABA CHAMP

Post by MurphyLpool »

I was wondering if anyone on here has/knows where I can get any old photos, videos, articles, basically anything on former Hollington ABC 3x ABA Flyweight Champ Danny Costello.

The reason I ask is that I am a friend of Danny's, he has next to nothing to look back on his career or to show his kids. I am looking for anything for him as a surprise thank you for the work he has done for his community.

Danny turned pro in Liverpool in 96 and still lives here today, he formed The L1 Youth Group (Facebook.com/TheL1YouthGroup) with neighbour Peter McLean. Danny has been teaching kids boxing giving them something to focus on and keep them out of crime. As a result of this he has helped to lower the crime rate in the area by a massive 85%, the best it's been in over 25 years.

It would be massively appreciated if anyone could help me out on this one !

Thanks.

Email the local paper from Hollington and see if they have any reports or photos in their archive.

There's odd bits and bobs dotted about on the internet:

http://www.dgssportingmemorabilia.com/b ... resent.htm - search his name on there and there's a programme for a show where he was on the undercard

http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/searc ... 858/Boxers - some art photograph, apparently he's one of the boxers

http://www.topfoto.co.uk/imageflows2/?s=danny+costello - a few pictures

http://www.boxingdvdspecialist.com/mainfightarchive.htm - search his name on there and there's his fight with Ian Napa
