I apologise, yours beats mine hands down

And wow!!! Thats an amazing piece of history... Bill 'The Butcher' Poole from gangs of New York!

On a side note... Bill Poole's birthdate and death date are incorrect...

I mean it even says... 'Time: 18 minutes / Poole was killed 7 months later on February 24, 1855 by members of Morrissey's gang.' On the BoxRec Bill Poole page!!!
