Margate connection I think

I believe his parents once lived in Nash Court road.I didnt know Henry lived in Hildenborough (just outside Tonbridge). The same town that Kelly Holmes once lived or is still living at.

how good he was is summed up by the weight he was when he fought Clay. Today he would be classed as a middle weight. When someone asked the question on 5-live, "How could he compete with the big men"? because he was a truly hard man came the reply. Brought upon the streets, learned his trade with his brother in the fair ground booths and unlike today fought every few weeks not once or perhaps twice a year.
