YOKEL 2,340 Posted October 31, 2024 Report Share Posted October 31, 2024 (edited) My first boxing coach and all round local legend passed a week ago. He was a proper character and well liked by all who knew him. Kept plenty of us estate urchins out of trouble, well, for awhile at least. Anyway, local rag has done a good write up for those who like reading about such characters...R.I.P. George, I'll be there at your send off in a few weeks...

tatsblisters 10,933 Posted November 1, 2024 Report Share Posted November 1, 2024 Men like him have done more for local communities in helping the young on the right path than any politician same as the boxing coach near me Brendan Ingle who passed away some years back and Sheffield council have still not erected a statue in his memory which they should do. RIP George. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
