    Anyone here know if Bert Spargo the boxer was also a boxing trainer? Also, can anyone name a few of the great Australian trainers besides Larry Foley, Bill McConnell and Ern McQuillan?

    Maybe a grandson? I've seen that photo of Bert and Laurie Sullivan holding the championship belt. Was Spargo his trainer or manager, or both?
