Hi i am looking to read up on some of Scotland's old time fighter's from bare knuckle time's to more recent time's. If anyone has any link's or site's i could go read up on for a few hour's that would be great :happy Thank's Hairy:bbb
I can't provide you dedicated sites with a few hours reading. Need a book for that. But do a google search on Peter Keenan, Jackie Brown, Walter McGowan, and Benny Lynch.
Ah cheers mate, i know of Benny and Walter,didnt Walter have a massive amatuer record ? Cheers again Hairy :bbb
Didn't have a bad pro career either British, Empire and World flyweight champion, British and Empire bantamweight champion
It was him aye ? Maybe im thinking of someone else, huuuuuuuuuuuge amatuer career , like 700+ or something, maybe im wrong or mixed up, not had a chance to check them all out yet, if anyone has names to add, i would gladly appreciate Thanks Hairy :bbb
Dick McTaggert your thinking of. Brilliant amateur and Olympic gold medallist 1956 I think he was awarded the Val Barker trophy for best boxer European champ Commonwealth champ Several ABA titles I had a drink with him once, a lovely fella.
