I saw him when I was eight when he came to South Shields. It was a huge event with tens of thousands turning out to see him and Ali in an open topped bus.

I hope Ricky Hatton doesn't do his Bernard Manning act at the dinner. He's doing his act and he'd better not start fing and blinding.

Guys all I can say is If there is anyway possible you can get to meet Ali Do it. I've had the good fortune to meet him 3 or 4 times over the years its an experience you'll never forget. When Ali enters the room its electric.
I will never forget shaking his hand He is an awesome guy
