Gnasher not sure if I asked you before but did you or your dad know of a boxer called Sammy bennichi ? He was of Maltese origin but east end born an bred , he moved to Sydney and had quite a few fights in the old Sydney stadium,
Great guy was sammy and absolutely fearless would take on anybody at the drop of a hat, we were working alongside each other when sammy was in his fifties and I was in my late teens, someone decided to steal and did a runner with sammy after him, when he caught him he battered him right over the head with a marble cigarette ashtray ....I said to sammy he,s a goner ..
