Hello, all you good folk, I would just like to say that if there are any former Northern Ireland boxing fans, and I am sure that there are many, residing in Swindon, who used to go to watch professional boxing in the '40s, '50s or 1960s, then there is a fantastic boxing book recently published called YESTERDAY'S GLOVEMEN, THE GOLDEN DAYS OF ULSTER BOXING in which they would be interested. The book features well-known scrappers such as Paddy Graham, John Kelly, Billy Kelly and his father Jim Spider Kelly, JImmy Carson, John Caldwell, Freddie Gilroy, Ike Weir, Bunty Doran, Jim McCann, Henry Turkington and a host of other household names from bygone days. The book can be obtained from Easons or Waterstones and it is published in hardback, price £16.99. Good luck and good health to everyone.
