That's what i heard anyway.
He was guest of honour at a boxing show I attended.
What a bizzare night that must have been.

You didn't make any eye contact with him did you? And if you did, did he give you the stare? Because I've heard about that stare.

Someone once told me that a few years back Leo and his great friend Grace Jones were involved in a little incident at a zoo (which I will leave unnamed for legal reasons). Apparently, as a sort of jolly jape, Grace pushed Leo into the Tiger compound. The seemingly genial pixie found himself confronted by a 500lb, 10ft long Bengal tiger. Now, encroaching on a male tiger's territory would normally spell certain death for a mere human, but Leo wasn't fazed at all. He just gave the tiger a stern look, curled his upper lip a bit, just to add to the effect, and that tiger backed right down. Leo doesn't really like publicity of this sort, so it comes as no surprise that this failed to make the papers (personally, I believe that Leo holds some sort of influence over the press).

When they finally let little Leo out, he didn't seem overly pleased with Grace. I don't really wish to start any unfounded rumours, but lets just say that Grace hasn't exactly been all over the news recently, has she? I wonder why that could be. Take it from one who knows, best to stay away from Mr Sayer, if you know what I mean.

"Marty, don't tell me about the script! Or the director! I just want to know one thing. Does it have the word dead in the title?!"

Just something I heard that's all.
Mate of mine was his driver and general gofer for a panto season. It's kept him (my mate) in funny stories for years.

I used to think Lionel blair was as bent as a banana on a roundabout years ago when I watched Give us a clue. 'With liza-goddard.....and Lionel Blair.'

To think years later I would be on a boxing forum discussing his 'hard man of tap dancing' reputation.
