Willie Limond, Scottish boxer and former British boxing champion.
I remember him dropping Amir Khan early in Khan's career. Went on to fight Crolla, Ricky Burns and Mexican legend Eric Morales.
RIP Willie

When I was growing up in the 60’s cricket was virtually one of the only live sports on TV. So I used to watch all the England test matches on TV during the School Summer holidays.

Derek Underwood was always in those teams, absolutely brilliant spin bowler and quite an obstinate Night Watchman when required RIP Derek.
