i heard some great stories one that sticks out was all the stagers were sitting on the mersey wall doing nowt and a top manager walked round and collared them he says to them come on lads back to work and no one moved he screamed do you know who i am, albo said he doesnt know his name everyone fell about laughing at him he ended up just walking away shaking his head

[gonetoearth 5,144]

I could tell you some mate he was allways good to be around even on the door he could difuse a situation , A class boxing coach and a mentor are friday nights after the gym closed were legendry Even when they got jailed for that sit in they were banged up together albo and duke and one packet of sweets to last a week. Duke woke up in the middle of the night to a munching sound even after albo swearing one a day duke one each a day lol. Albo was a greedy fooker

I just dont understand it......not just boxers anyone films stars,pop stars etc....................why would anyone pay fortunes for shorts or a name written on a smelly old pair of used boxing gloves ................It always reminds me of the film The Last Castle when Robert Redford talks about the governors military collection ...." any man with a collection like this is a man whos never seen war on a battlefield " ....to him they was " heaps of metal "
