You serious Kojoe?
Didn't he get sent down for GBH about two years ago for beating up a guy he thought was a nonce (but wasn't)?

Or is my lack of sleep playing tricks with my mind?

That was Georgie Smith

Thought he owned the gym. Till he sparred with John Mugabi.

He had a good kip after that session.
Is that a verified story? Hadn't heard that.....

I remember reading some story about a fight in a bar - some guy started throwing punches at him, and Stretch tried to duck and dive to make him miss, but the guy kept hitting him... then stretch ran out of the bar...

I've told this story before, but it's true. At the time Stretch was British champ, St Helens rugby league had a very large, hard man playing for them. Stuart Evans, from South Wales, a guy who, when he was playing union, the All Blacks refused to play against. Seriously hard and damn dirty with it.

Evans was waiting in a queue at a chip shop one night when Stretch walks in with a bit of crumpet in tow and went straight to the front of the queue. Evans tapped him on the shoulder and pointed out the long line of people, and Stretch gave it the big 'I am'. Evans sparked him with one shot and went back to his place in the queue.

I've heard this exact story from two separate but entirely credible sources. I think it's funny.

A true story and urban legend in St Helens, in fact he went to the front of the queue of the 'spicy chicken' in St Helens with the aforementioned Lionel Blairs daughter (he knows how to show a girl a good time lol) and Evans clocked him, though from the same urban legend it was a punch from behind as Stretch didn't deign to look around at the offended party.

Still all is fair in love and war and jumping the queue at the spicy chicken.

His brothers are also famous for robbing a security van and instead of gold bullion or whatever found urine samples
