Nick Griffin of the BNP spoke out about the Kalergi Plan many many years ago and was shot down in flames and called a mad conspiracy theorist.....mostly by indigenous British people !

Plenty of typically beautiful women are not necessarily physically attractive.....some sorts just have something about them.

Shithole city pubs are nothing new mate didnt you grow up in South London .......yes they were more community orientated back then but this is why we should be trying to keep these old customs and traditions alive in my opinion,if we cant promote and encourage our own culture in our own country we cant then moan when they're taken off of us. In white British minority areas around places like West Ham,Millwall,Tottenham just about the only places you can still be by far the white British majority is the inside of a football ground or a pub and we must hold onto that tradition.....Islam for

John was up to his neck in it he didnt quite fall into the category of squeaky clean role model type i was referring to Boxing and pubs went hand in hand back then certainly in East London lots of gyms were on a pub premises and it was quite normal for ex fighters to move into that game,very few had troubles as local faces of the day just wouldnt tolerate anyone moving in on a celebrated local sportsman....parts of East London had solid communities back then who would protect and stand up for their own. As a business no it was never something they was going to get rich at but again

Thats sad to read Ray you always come across as a nice chap who really cared for his dog......have some time out now mate particularly if you live alone it will make a new arrival at some point all the more special.....i think that " get straight back on the horse " attitude wears a bit thin as we get older......summers round the corner enjoy some fresh air and get yourself out and about,all the very best mate.

1 + 1 does still equal 2 i take it ? Welcome the worlds shit and thats what you'll get....its just f****n boring now aint it !

I dont have the stats so its only my opinion but money will play a huge part in the post career mental state of sportsmen.....for example fighters who have selfishly dedicated their early lives to boxing but also started a family,retire from boxing usually in their early 30's then have to go and get a job,the money just wasnt there to sail off into the sunset like they can today look how many fighters have taken pubs Terry Spinks being one....off the top of my head Alan Rudkin,Bruce Woodcock,esteemed footballers like Bobby Moore,Terry Venables all took pubs as they still had to feed their fami

At a time when you was more famous/infamous in Canning Town/West Ham if you was a criminal than a sportsmen guys like Terry Spinks and Bobby Moore were idolised for their sporting purity,their honesty and role model qualities.....Spinks,Ronnie Redrup,Ralph Charles they made West Ham Abc one of the most elite boxing clubs in the country,bigger than Repton at that time and it brought a lot of adoration locally as amateur sport and pro sport had a similar following their wasnt such a gap in popularity as there is today.......they was all before my time but the one i always admired from our manor

Geezer might be a prick but he speaks a lot of truth on society issues......hence he's being made into public enemy number 1.

Theres some similar arm wrestling ones ive seen with an old pro called Allen Fisher he must be 70 odd now,offering people 500 dollars if they can beat him,he'd beat 90% of big gym dudes and the look of shock on their faces when this skinny old geezer beats them is funny....Beat my Grandad or something its called.

" I warned you about this in June and July " he says. We warned you in 1983 and every year since but yous all called us names and told us to sit down and shut up.........go back to sleep prick !

Good grief some of the kit you chaps are churning out im surprised you aint been dragged through the divorce courts if i pitched up for a night out in some of this Scooby Doo turn out there'd be no counselling,no trial separation it would be straight to divorce !

It was actually Terry Spinks who finished Bobby Neils career they fought 3 or 4 times,the last time they fought Bobby had a blood clot removed from the brain was touch and go for a while....then later through life became the best of pals,i remember my ol fella and them,Sammy McCarthy,Freddie King a few others sitting drinking tea,passing the biscuit tin around at each others houses was lovely for a young lad like me sitting questioning them i was honoured when Bobby Neil gave me his old fight film collection years ago,the East End boxing community was really close back them,none of them are le

I dont know too much about Mctaggart to be honest,i dont think he ever turned pro did he im not sure, before my time......Terry Spinks was also before my time but was a local icon,was pals with my ol fella along with the jock Bobby Neil who also sadly passed a couple of years ago,i knew Bobby quite well,cracking trainer in his day.......and Terry Spinks looked like an 8 year old his entire life,cute chubby little face he had a turn out at East London Crematorium about 10 years ago like ive never seen,literally hundreds of fighters all through the generations,popular character Terry was.

I remember them only being a couple of notches in front of Dunlop Greenflash.....think New Balance do some decent running shoes but they've never been a trainer you'd pull off any sort of gents casual look in.

Stone me your clobbers getting worse mate....clowns trotters with jeans that dont fit.....get your act together man ffs !

Terrible weekend for boxing they say things come in threes.....Livingstone Bramble has died aged 64.....had 2 brilliant fights with Ray Mancini that early/mid 80's lightweight division has always been my favourite era of boxing certainly in my lifetime.....bit of an oddball Bramble he had a snake called Dog and a dog called Snake......along with his " Pit Bull " nickname and his relentless style he was a colourful character in the game back then....RIP. Hopefully thats enough for this weekend although theres still the whole of Sunday to get through yet !

Cant agree with that mate Foreman was a giant of any era.....just because his era happened to be the greatest era in heavyweight boxing history doesnt make him any less of a fighter.
-
Apparently Colin Hart has passed away today as well.....shame,spoke to him down the Hammers a number of times .cracking story teller had a mindful of knowledge.
-
Ive always felt that the early Tyson when he was with Kevin Rooney would have given Foreman a lot of problems and possibly got him out of there.....that peek a boo style he had early on where every time an opponent missed he made them pay,i think Foremans big looping punches would have got him in trouble.....that said,the later version of Tyson was made for Foreman....just walking forward against a straight up slugger like Foreman i could see Tyson either quitting or getting frustrated and he couldnt fight off the back foot at the best of times.....interesting match up though.
-
Someone asked me once " who do you think would have won a fight between Foreman first career and Foreman second career ".....fascinating question i thought as they were such different fighters.....i actually opted for second as his punch resistance just seemed ridiculous second time round......Holyfield hit him with everything and barely moved him !

Another few comments like these and he'll be rifling through his pockets for the receipt

They're f****n hideous mate !....anything other than a fancy dress party and you're gonna get ripped to shreds

I used to have an old Vhs video called " Champions Forever " it might be on Youtube or something.....it was about the big 5 heavyweights Ali,Frazier,Foreman,Norton and Holmes all being interviewed and talking about each other,it always struck me how honest and humble Foreman was.....all the others still had a bit of attitude even as old men but Foreman came across really well....the way he described being terrified of Ken Norton and using the " my shoes were too big " excuse for losing to Ali.....maybe it was the whole God thing but he seemed like a man really comfortable in his own skin,did h

My brother is a good bit older than me and had a bad reputation locally.....muggings here used to defend him to the hilt until eventually realising that he hated my guts and would do anything to make sure i had a reputation worse than his.....families eh,bollocks to em !
