The Albrighton Prize fight of 1829
Posted: 14 Apr 2016, 05:23
I live in the same village and am doing a talk on this fight as no one here seems to have heard of it. I notice that 'The Story of the Great Fight for 400 Sovereigns between Philip Sampson (the Birmingham Youth) and Simon Byrne (the Emerald Gem)' was included in Famous Fights past and present, vol 9, number 113, about 1903. Can anyone let me have a scan/photo of the article? Happy to pay reasonable costs etc. Thanks in advance guys. Robert
