RIP Brendan.
I had a chance chat with him on radio years ago. I was randomly checking for the footy scores on radio and stumbled across BBC Sheffield and heard his voice they asked a boxing question and invited people to call in and answer. I was on the radio chatting with him & won johnny nelson fight tickets. What a shame we have lost another great man from boxing community.

Ingle trained Bomber Graham and Naz.
Dean Francis was a quality boxer thought he could have had a shot at Joe Calzaghe
