Sir Henry Cooper has Passed Away

[user123]

a great man was cooper,one of my many boxing hero's,its why i love the sport so much.

paul ingle,the yorkshire hunter,was also a great boxer,he won the world title off the american,junior jones,superb day for british boxing,then lost it to a african called botile,if i remember it right, in his next fight,unfortuatly his last,becouse of the bloodclot,a very sad day indeed.A hard sport at times is boxing

We see Paul a lot in town, he seems to vaguely recognize me, I have talked to him, but he isn't good, an absolute tragedy. Very sad to see him like that. When I saw him train in that club, he was lean and incredibly quick, his eyes reacted very fast, too, and now, no.. it's not good. Scarborough is a kind place all in all, we have drunk idiots in town at night like most towns, but in general he is supported and appreciated wherever he goes, everybody, as I have seen, is always nice to him, it's more like a village here where people become 'locals' very quickly.

A lot of people didn't know Henry had a twin George who was also a boxer. George died last year.

Henry is on the right.
