I’ve not seen the movie yet & wont be in a rush too either.
I lived through that era of boxing in Sheffield I was there when Naz came to the gym as a young boy & I was there when Herol Graham walked through the doors of St Thomas’s boys club to be trained by Brendan. I’ve trained along side both of them & also trained both of them in my gym later in their careers & it really is all a remarkable story about the ups & downs in this game & it’s also very sad that it alls ends up this way there’s always two sides to every story & sadly Brendan’s not here to give his side.
It’s a strange combination the boxer/ trainer / manager/ father figure & I’ve been all of those I’ve fell out with fighters & said I’d never speak to them ever again but have done & fighters have fell out with me for what ever reason but the sad thing with Naz & Brendan was that they were a great team for many years & what they achieved together was unbelievable but that brings me to the point of my story without a certain person none of this would ever have happened because without Herol Bomber Graham boxing in this area would be very different before Herol arrived there wasn’t much boxing to talk about round here but together Bomber & Brendan put boxing on the world map and everything else happend after that & that’s a fact
