Ok. Seeing as the internet has everything you need Ive quickly tried to find the answer to Quick Quiz no5 and without the name required im hoping its a little more harder.

Ok.

Where are all these knowledgeable boxing fans? When a big fight is on all know everything there is to know!

Scott Welch had a chain of retirement homes didn't he. Probably the incorrect answer though!

I'll ask you one - which ex boxer is the governor of Doncaster Prison ??

By the way , was it Terry Downes ???

The Silver Grid was a club on Huntress Row in Scarborough, people familiar with Scarborough will know its where the Pizza Hut is now. The old folks home was in Scalby Village again close to Scarborough.

He also ran The Futurist Theatre in Scarborough.
