Three unrelated 80s alphabet champions were all brought up on the same Street. Jimmy Paul, Buster Drayton and Milton McCrory were all came from, at one time or another: Marx Street, Detroit.
I knew about the Joe Louis and LFC thing, the way i read it was 'he was on our books', a promotional thing i believe.
You wanker, rip my fantasies apart! There was me thinking he scored 200 goals in his 300 Liverpool appearances!
Lord Lonsdale ran into the ring before a light welterweight title fight claiming no such division existed. I can't remember the exact details and am searching through this book right now, it might have been at 130 pounds actually.
Imagine Louis belting one in at the kop end and then hardly celebrating because of how he was always taught not to gloat at a fallen opponent! We'd make a proper celebratin' athelte out of him though, he'd be getting yellow carded foe jumping in the crowd before long!!!
Then you are the bum who chased my mate away after we took the **** out of you when your man Meldrick Taylor lost to Espana!:rofl
