The Ron Crookes from Sheffield is 75 next Thursday (April 1), so could well be alive. Did an address search under that name in Sheffield and it brought up one address only:

Ronald Crookes
12 Castle Close
Penistone
Sheffield
S36 6AL

Why not drop him a line and see if it's him?

Nothing under Ronald Crooks in Chorley.

Thank you Bennie!
This was a editorial query, to see if I should combine two different records, (for same boxer).
I let it pend for a while.
:)

The great Ron Olver, of Boxing News, is the undisputed old timers' expert in this country, but does everything on a bog standard typewriter and is now in very poor health (he is blind, and his daughter does his typing for him). One man who may know would be Barry Hugman (01462 625074) or author Bob Lonkhurst (01707 659756).
