EX BOXERS OF liverpool 1970S ....

Would that have been the Lilliput, I went in to see him once when he was there,
I know Billy.

 

That's it mate 'The Lil' .
We used to use that pub all the time , and The Greg...I used to work ( when i was between jobs ) in Gilly's at the Borough end of Bermondsey.
The Lil was a pulling paradise back then!

 

Is he in Spain?

 

I don't think so, I was with him at a do in London in September and he was at me dad's funeral a couple of weeks later in Liverpool. Never thought to ask him were he's living, just presumed he was still in London in fact pretty sure he is.
