Re: old boxers youve met?
Met an old guy at a pub in Seymour who said he fought out of Jack Rennies gym. Told me Lionel was called Rosey by all the blokes at the gym. Gave Henry Nissan a lift once when his car broke down and I remember I met Johnnie obrien when he sparred at Harry Martin and Norm Taylor's gym. He said I had good hands :)
