Looked a really good night. Glad it went well.

minestrone soup

Steak and chips

Apple crumble...

or so im told

Nearly funtime !!!!
Home made cream of vegetable soup with crispy croutons. Supreme of chicken served with a smoked bacon and mushroom sauce with seasonal vegetables and potatoes. Treacle sponge with traditional custard.

Very pleased it went well. Rhodes was a fine boxer and a good bloke, the organiser isn't too bad either

I hope it comes across well on Ringside, and hopfully there'll be more footage from Ifilm.
We had 350 there and the top table lads were ...... well sensational.
Some very emotional moments - Ryan's speech, Ricky Hatton's speech, Carl Froch's tribute to Ryan, Ryan's two daughters singing and dancing, and the obligatory love in between Ryan and Jamie.
Never seen so many hardened fighters blubbering !!!
Also Johnny Nelson, Herol Graham, Dave Coldwell and Mark Willie with their tributes.
Aside from boxing, fabulous entertainment from the Three Waiters, and the legend that is Will Mellor who brought the evening to a brilliant ending, with everyone on their feet dancing and singing.
One for the memory bank.
Also my sign off as well.
Twenty Six has left the room - but I may return with a new title !!
Thanks for the nice comments fellas - really appreciate it, TJ, Crazy, Curt, JamesH.

Was there no ingles or naz there??

Naz is in Dubai, Ingles in a training camp in the Canaries.

Back again in my new guise.
Twenty Six formally disabled as Ryan retired, but I'm still around.

Great stuff. Really pleased to hear it went well. I have seen a few of the Ifilm London youtube clips and it looked a right laugh. Some really good interviews with Ricky Hatton, Jamie Moore and Carl Froch, who come over as nice blokes and are obviously fond of Ryan.

Ryan is one of the fighters that made me want to learn how to box, or at least keep fit through boxing, at the Ingle gym. He had a very interesting and successful career and I hope he looks back with fond memories - he certainly looked happy singing Mustang Sally with Will Mellor.

Twenty, why the change of name ?

Sick of people having a dig !

Manno,
How you doing pal ?
Always was that way, always will be !!

But they know that you are now called "Parson Cross" !!!

Wouldn't it have been better to just go and come back anew and say nothing ?
