Early eighties, can't remember the first one though. Still got them on video, gonna be a massive task getting them onto dvd. I have made a start though. Very frustrating, for every discI use I seem to be throwing one away when it doesn't work. Any suggestions?
87..i was six yrs old.. i was the little man in the home. I was obsessed with films/tv at a very young age. I was recording old hammer horror films on fri nights (well i had my mum to do so)..also watched Boxing as My Mum would watch it then guests used to visit and wtach with us. So around 1987. **** i have an amazing memory when it comes to the stuff i adore..
hmmmm...was Zammo from grange hill in that??? I remember when he was on some tv boxing thing..dammn..someone help me out here!!!
Lee McDonald/Zammo fight here. He was okay until he got into heroin, still his missus on Grange Hill was always a bit of a babe. Used to watch this and be pissed off that it was only big cities that got on the show boxing in similar tight shorts for a small town ABC [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg3jgK_0GWk[/ame] I started taping fights around 1989, first tape has McAuley, McDonnell, Graham and McCrory on it.
Bruno Tyson when I was 6. Only ever watched Benn, Bruno and Welsh boxers though. Only really got into boxing properly recently though.
****ing hell, jog those memories. My old fella is Alan Rudkin and I remember having a drink with him in a pub called Maxwells Plum in Liverpool. I must of been about 17. This fella come over and started talking to my dad and said "I know you must hear this a lot but my lad of 16 is a good little fighter and he's gonna go far" My dad said "what's his name?" to which he replied Paul Hodkinson. I said I know him he's knocked out a couple of lads I know and we had a nice drink. a few years later we're sitting there at a tribute night for me dad with Hoko and his family and his mum said remember that day we had a drink. Paul was WBC featherweight champ at the time. his old fella was right. Funny thing is I remember his dad as like a middle age fella. He looks young now looking at that video , he must be younger than I am now. Where have those years gone?.
