Yes; it's a good award for him and he deserves recognising. John is a very decent man and sits on our local council (Doncaster MMBC), he stands up for the underdog and similar councillors have a lot of time and respect for him - a very decent and intelligent man

Well done John, congratulations

[John]

Thanks for the kind remarks, I really am still quite overwhelmed to have won it. I must say BoxRec is very much a communal effort, what has been achieved has been been done by the work of many, many editors. Everyone should take pride in what we have accomplished here on this site.

he is a top man Mickey; he gave me and a mate ringside tickets for a couple of shows and didn't need to; he loves his boxing and does his best for other people less fortunate - a good egg.
