gnasher16 30,794 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Any boxing fans in or around London happen to be at a loose end next Friday get yourself along to the opening of the Teddy Baldock statue......Teddy was Britains youngest ever world champion at 19 years old,his grandson started a charity in his name for sports related injuries and financing local sport......the statue will be outside the Spotlight youth club in Poplar with plenty of big British boxing names attending for pictures/autographs etc Im just spreading the word so to speak so for anyone of a generous nature you can also make a donation via text ....its to a good cause and in the name of a good old East End icon..... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,794 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Its a real sore area but with plenty of sporting talent its been brightened up by a new sports centre and youth club etc this statue will top it off nicely.......the charity helped out Micky Norgroves family the Repton boy who died after a fight last year its a really worthy cause for a pastime we all love. Clipo,Johnnyboy well done lads we all enjoy our sport so its nice to give back sometimes Edited May 10, 2014 by gnasher16 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 27,957 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Text sent, I like these type of charities, set up for all the right reasons.. An old friend of mine set up a local charity FIN ( footballers in need), he was a decent player and got struck down with muscular sceriosis ( spelling).. In his thirties, i played for a half decent local side at the time and he would come every week to watch, all the time getting progressively worse.. A few of us pushed him in his chair around the great west run ( half marathon) a couple of times and raised a few quid, the charity raised a bit for local sportsman who'd come on bad times..
