Birth Place for Paul McCloskey

[Feargal....]

http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer

McCloskey place of birth is listed as "Londonderry". People in Northern Ireland who are of a catholic/Nationalist background (which McCloskey is) call Derry "Derry". People who are protestant/unionist call Derry "Londonderry". To be correct since this site is used by both sections of the community, it would be better to list Birth Place as Derry/Londonderry.
Thanks

Actually Feargal, the people of that city had a consensus and the big majority of them call it "Derry"... So if anyonme has a say in matters, it is them'uns who actually live there.

And the football team is called Derry too.

Yip your correct there Crease, but any protestant/unionist I've ever spoken to calls it Londonderry. That's why I suggested Derry/Londonderry
