One of my late Dads favourite boxers, and I liked him in "Dance of the Vampires"

RIP Terry.

R.I.P. Terry Downes BEM. Never mind my Dad, he was someone I looked up to as a kid. One of the few men to beat Sugar Ray Leonard, and said afterwards "I didn't beat Sugar Ray, I beat his ghost. Sugar Ray was getting on by then.

And married to the same wife for close on 60 years.

Not shurely, surely or anything else.
