Brilliant news!
Gilbert and Howard lived behind my parents house for years and I never ever spoke to the guys ( apart from telling howard to turn his music down. risky move! lol
Gilbert lives down the road from me now and despite having mutual friends I have never spoken to the guy - we just look at eachother and go about our day.
Next time I see him that changes!
Best of luck, Gilbert!
I hope the good news continues re: his condition.

Sounds good, a benefit night is also a great idea - Hope Eastman isn't lost to boxing he has a wealth of experience to tell the next generation.

Bruno is/was from Wandsworth Town.
Wandsworth Road had the 4 fighters mentioned above living within 200 yards of eachother.
If some the the locals idiots picked up the gloves we would have had even more, there was such natural talent on the block!
So pleased to hear Gilbert is improving,one step at a time but I hope it is a full recovery and all is well.

Shut it, Banjo!
I did, at Heathbrook before Richard Williams and Howard were there.
BUT, as I travel in disguise hiding my true genius, I can not reveal more.
Yes, wishing Gilbert all the best!

Went to see Gilbert this evening. He's made excellent progress and he was sitting in a communal seating area entertaining visitors. His speech seems to be getting a lot better but obviously he's not completely out of the woods yet - he was drugged up a fair bit and looked a bit out of it but certainly very chirpy - he was asking about David Haye's next fight!
Glad to see he's on the mend!
