Is that you in the avatar and would it have been taken about the time Emlyn sang "Liverpool are magic, Everton are tragic".
i cant seem to find boxing news or boxing illustrated fighter or fight of the year list any where has anybody got a link
Ha ha, it isn't me mate, I doubt my Super-Conservative mother would allow me such an outpouring of passion. I love the t-shirt and I'd guess it was worn soon after Emlyn's infamous "Everton are tragic" faux pas. Although i've always hated Tommy Smith far more myself. :yep
