Henry was the hero in South London when I was a small boy growing up in Lewisham. We lived in Limes Grove just off the High Street and my Old Man always used to tell me he'd seem Enry on his training run as he waited for a bus for work in the early morning. I can remember the telly going off and the radio going on for his fights and the shock of him losing to Joe Bugner, (a fiddle to get Bugner a world title fight). The punch that put Clay down is one of the best of all-time.

The Rocky of South London.
Will be 'splashing it all over' in tribute. Very sad he's gone.
RIP Henry.
