    Did you know the link between Paul Weller,formerly of The Jam and Style Council,now known as the Modfather and boxing ? His Dad was an amateur boxer for a time,and was featured in the opening credits of the old BBC sports programme Grandstand. Any other little known facts that we can reveal to each other ?

    Hello Alf. John Weller,I believe. I used to love watching Grandstand. I can still hear the opening music to it in my head.
