Until I looked at the picture I thought you meant Pepe Forbes, who's another ancient bloke often seen at ringside.

I agree; I've seen an old lady at ringside who sits there knitting between rounds. Does anyone know who she is? She wears an old ladies hat.

He's a smashing feller and has been ringside for most of the top fights this country has seen in the last three decades and more. I can't recall whether he boxed at all, but he is very knowledgeable. I seem to remember BBBofC inspector Bob Lonkhurst running a feature on him in one of the year books, if not that then he was the subject of a nice feature about his life and times in the game in another publication... if I stumble across it I'll point you in the right direction.
