    No, he's moved too far up in the world to still work there.



    He's with the Adidas store now

    ****, Im old enough to remember a young Gary Jacobs working in a sport shop on Argyle st when he was in his prime, & to think he went onto fight the no1 P4P fighter in Pernell Whittaker & put him on the canvas before losing a UD, just shows how much boxers are more in touch with their fans than those thick as pig**** footballers who the nearest you get in contact with them is watching them walk past you with sunglasses on & earphones in as they enter/leave an airport.

    I just want to point out I wasn´t mocking Ricky in anyway, I think he´s a really cool guy and I´m really glad we have a Scottish world champion. I was just a bit surprised he hadn´t given that up by now. If he still likes it though, good on him.

    It would be kinda mad to go into a sport shop and have a chat with a world champion.
