Always wondered what happened to the bald fella. I kind of miss him kicking off when you say things his favourite (at the time) promotional company didn't agree with

Nice one! I'm sure he would be offended if anyone said Ali could beat Haye, but that was half the fun :TU:

The same bloke who had contacts within Meaty Mick's gang?

If so, I had some good banter with him about overmatching prospects, back in the day.

He was argumentative, but passionate. I liked him

Hope he is well, and less emotional.

What was your name back in the day?

Think he was passionate and opened his mouth before he engaged brain.

Whenever I met him he was so well mannered, yet would go insane behind a keyboard

No, that was me!!! Moved on well since then, but great to speak to a man I always considered a bit of a hero.

I also said Bernard Dunne would become a world champ before he made his debut!!

but we will probably disagree on loads ( hey ho)

:OhYes: very good.

Thought it was going to be the clip of him getting a punch in the chops in the background of the hatton interview for a minute.

I wish Spud was here now. He could say that anyone who thinks that Vitali stands a chance against Haye is a pudendum and he would ban them :bag:

It's a shame Spud lost his bottle and went straight. He was more fun when I was pulling his pi$$er and we were proactively creating hassle. We'd have been on Daybreak once a week.
