[vanhoop]

Good level then mondo,didn't winstone box out of repton

[Stanley]

Looks like it Van:

Winstone was also a fan of boxing. Known to his friends as Winnie, at home he was called Little Sugs (his father already being known as Sugar – after Sugar Ray Robinson). At the age of 12, Winstone joined the famous Repton Amateur Boxing Club and, over the next 10 years, won 80 out of 88 bouts. At welterweight, he was London schoolboy champion on three occasions, fighting twice for England. The experience gave him a perspective on his later career: "If you can get in a ring with 2,000 people watching and be smacked around by another guy, then walking onstage isn't hard."

Played some good parts has ray stan..think he won the part in scum because of the way he walked.one of my favourite actors

Yes the so called 'boxer's walk'. Saw him in the new Sweeney film the other week and he's still got it after all these years.

[Factamondo]

I

I knew a bloke once who was a terrible bully, and he started insulting this DJ telling him his music was crap,after a while the dj who looked like the milky bar kid but was 6ft3ins tall said

IF WE GO OUTSIDE I MAY HURT YOU VERY BADLEY IM A MARTIAL ARTIST

so the bully said ok lets go outside and it was like you said facto this young kid just destroyed the bully he actually was screaming

HELP GET THIS GEEZER OF ME

and thats really the way of life never under estimate the opposition

[WeAreQPR12]

Facto are you not forgetting the pasting you took off millwall in our championship winning season.
On the Green, ringing any bells?

I too was also there and it was like the wild west, down the uxbridge rd that day. I didn't get any grief but then I don't get off my head with alcohol so have brought down some big drunks in my time.

[qprted]

weare12

well weare12 you are right there many a drunk has been brought down

my biggest drunken downfall was I had an idea that it would look really cool to grab hold of a moving bus from a stationary position

well I took off like a rocket,there was an almighty crash

several old age pensioners screamed

and my nose was smashed,

we are talking a split that went the whole length of the bridge

we are talking the rest of my life people looking at my nose and asking were you a boxer

ill never forget the embarressment we were skinheads who were supposed to be going to meet up to fight another lot

these guys were comming down the disco in big numbers as I arrived the bouncers seeing my nose all smashed up said oh no what happened you got jumped

this brought a great idea

yes yes yes im a hero,WELL SAID I THERE WAS ONLY FOUR OF THEM#

the bouncers looked at me with so much pride

then i told all me mates,they were so proud of me

but what I didnt know was that someone that knew me was on the top deck and he thought it was hystericall me lying on the floor of the bus with everybody making a fuss of me

of course he told them and felt so ridiculous

[vanhoop]

Poor ol ted,i'm a bit like facto less bouts than him but always knew theres one better

[qprted]

well

well van hoop and facto another wonderment for me was how do you throw a knock out punch,ive been very angry,I could feel so sure yes this is the punch,but sadly gerase lightening i might have been but where was the big punch

the disco we were going to was the tithe farm in south harrow,from the 14 council estates of northolt we imagines about two hundred would be going when we arrived there was only ten of us
and we were all school boys aged 15,

this was the time that willesden were coming down to meet harrow weald

it was a fairly infamous event the willesden had a massive reputation,having just smashed up the starlight ballroom in sudbury

but that day they never turned up so it ok the great dj emperor rosco was playing at the tithe farm and in them days james brown was king

I can remember it as if it was yesterday ,all these skinheads in tonic suits some of the songs had stamping techniques so everybody used to stamp there feet at the same time,i was so young and had never been to any thing like this before I was so facinated by this world that was so strange to me,it was the first time I ever asked a girl to dance,I dont know what she must have thought of me because I asked her in the dark she agreed then as it was the end of the event the lights all came on and she looked at my smashed up nose with astonishment,

soverign rings and sheepskin coats were the fashion

[loneranger]

Sure it was willesden and not wealdstone ted

[qprted]

no

no wealdstone was the resident mob but they were so supposed to be invaded by willseden nw 10

yes indeed the dentistry bill was alarming....i actually retired from all things fv conected after that evening as i realised its a young mans game and i didnt want to end up like west hams jela!!

[qprted]

yes

yes i remember facto lost thirteen teeth,it was my fault i told him that this giant of a man was the MILLWALL LEADER

i watched facto approach the man then facto shouted

IM CALLING YOU OUT

oh my god there was this almighty .............................BANG

remembering my experience with that double decker bus I very tentertively approached facto

as he came round he looked up at me,BLIMEY HE SAID WHAT HIT ME

so we put all his teeth back into his gums,once more he looked fantastic

then he smiles this beautifull smile and said

WHAT A WONDERFULL WORLD
