Boom Boom Minter. I first watched him in the 1972 Olympic games the first time boxers wore gloves with the white ends. RIP Alan and may your God bless you.

Very sad that ... Alan minter for me was Harry carpenter sports night Wednesday evenings ( along with the daily express soccer 6’s )
I remember him in the extra strong mints adverts with the catch phrase of “ didn’t blow my socks off”
Strange I can remember all this but forgot what I had for tea last night ...
RIP mr minter.

Met Alan on a couple of occasions as my lad used to box for Crawley ABC, his old gym. Lovely fella, never short of advice for the kids. His old man Sid was a proper wrong un.

RIP Champ

My Mrs was part of the Granada TV team that covered his 1980 Las Vegas fight.
