Who were your not so famous boyhood heroes?

'The Casbah Kid' Najib Daho. Very much a local celebrity in Greater Manchester. I followed
Lloyd Christie's career a great deal and thought he could get himself a world title shot but
was stopped in 6 rounds in France against Tex N'Kalaente for the European crown.

Surprised not to hear you say 'Purple Aki.'

I think i remember hearing about him in the past on here haha. Wasnt he the local child molester who happened to be a huge black fella that everyone was scared of or something?

he had a friend of mine once stand in a packed birkenhead market tense his biceps and flex all different muscles,proper wierdo and a big fvker too. i heard a story of him when he was in jail getting hit a couple of batteries in a sock right on the forehead and saying to the fella who hit him "now what you gonna do" hahaha id run like fvck

My hero was allan temple as a kid till I grow up and realised he was so far stuck up his own arse all time fighter was iAn super cooper am and pro won the aba in 1998 turned pro but never really wanted to do it

I sparred with alan temple at crystal palace with the England team when he was an amateur ,my club was the local club to the England squad around about the time of the barcalona Olympics so I was brought in to get my head jabbed off by him .
it was funny because I couldn't get neat him yet when I see him as a pro later on he didn't seem half as good as the guy I sparred with .
