Scrap, I am very happy that you enjoyed my book. It was written for people who, like yourself, have an appreciation of boxing history and the un-sung fighters of yesteryear.

Burley was definitely something special - and not just as a fighter. It was one of the greatest thrills of my life meeting him and I am proud to call his family my friends.

The video footage is something else! What about that shot Lloyd Marshall paralyzes Freddie Mills with. I like Marshall's style a lot. It is a great pity that more fights of Burley's, Marshall's, Cocoa Kid, Eddie Booker et al. don't exist.


Thanks for the kind comments.

Harry
