gnasher16 30,281 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 It was a very sad xmas for both myself and many boxing fans in the London area as my old friend and great manager/trainer Terry Lawless died on xmas eve aged 76.He was very well liked and respected in the sport and was always known for his caring nature towards his fighters. On a personal note Terry had that big brother/uncle role right from when he first invited me into his gym in canning town in the late 70,s all the way up to his death i never made a big decision on sport or life without a little input from Terry and he will be sorely missed to the point where nothing has the same meaning anymore although im sure time will be a great healer as it normally is. Terry and his wife Sylvia were a constant source of inspiration and hope when times were low.....thankfully i had the pleasure of owning a property close to them in Spain where i spent many great times dipping into his sporting knowledge and genuinely kind nature. He will be best remembered by most as both Frank Bruno,s and Mark Kaylors manager....but by me he will be remembered as a gentleman who all men could learn from and admire. Hopefully the other fans of boxing on here will spare a minute to remember Terry Lawless,a one in a million man.....RIP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
