The Gilf is banned from all awards competitions because he is just too damned good for the opposition. Where is he by the way? His thread's been dead for a while now.

Congrats Ian and Boxrec News!

Is his ghost writing for 'a British Monthly Boxing Magazine' still being kept a secret?

Name and shame...

I think I can guess.

The fella who used to play drums in Slade?

Congratulations Ian. Well deserved. Keep up the excellent work.

Used to be married to Anthea Turner?

It's quite funny to reflect that I once received an irate phone call from a well-known match-maker deriding McNeilly and the rest of the crew as 'wannabe, know-nothing geeks sat at home in their bedsits on their PCs all night ... not proper journos at all'

Just shows how wrong you can be!

Dean powell?

Well done Ian :)

Is he the guy that loves English fighters? Always going on about how Froch will be 'exposed, and knocked out' in his next fight? I tell you what, if he did get on the shortlist, they'd surely sell a few tables - I'd definitely book the one next to his.

well done mate

Rarely have I felt so close to death as I did on that train home from London after that night out with you lunatics

Can't make it at the moment mate but if things change will certainly let you know.

As for The Gilf - he's banned in order to keep the competition fair. No one wants to see the same winner every year.

As for certain matchmakers/promoters - I have a good relationship with almost all of them

Does that include the bloke that used to play drums in '70s Midlands pop icons Slade, Don Powell?

Good lad Don Powell. Loves his beef sausages:
