Thanks a lot for the heads up, Windy. Will probably be checking it out - although my reading does tend to wind down a little bit during the summer months!

You're welcome, Chris. Mine does, also, I'm afraid, but I've made a note of this one for future reference.

They knew how to do a proper nickname in the bareknuckle days Dave. A couple of personal favourites are the Tipton Slasher and probably the all time greatest the Battersea Gardener. Hardly a name to strike fear into the heart that one

With Manny fighting old men, I'm surprised he isn't called, "the Graverobber"
