Re Charlie, I never got to meet him but was a big fan of all east end boxers. I'm not sure if I told you how I got his name as a nickname but I wouldn't want to be the one to tell him. Canningtowns changed a lot since then, however the buses still come when they feel like

Hi Mate
No, sorry to disappoint you but it's just my nick name. A very long story about east end, boxing, looking good up to 6 rounds then wobbling a bit and out by the tenth. Chinas back in the day said my drinking ability was akin the Magri's boxing. We were big fans at the time and it stuck. I've even written for a non league fanzine under the nom de plume and not everyone gets it. Well done for picking up on it though. He was a great fighter.
