BOB PAGET
(chapter nine)
|
"Bob used to meet champions on level terms and you
had the feeling that secretly he believed he could beat
you." - Sammy McCarthy |
Bob has worked for many years as a boxing trainer, his
most recent success story being Crawford Ashley. But
during the 'Fifties and 'Sixties he was a boxing legend
in his own llifetime, not as a fighter but as a sparring
partner. In fact Bob Paget sparred with everybody, from
Terry Spinks and Sammy McCarthy to Terry Downes, Dave
Charnley and Henry Cooper. Most recently he has worked
as activities organiser and fundraiser for the Freddie
Mills club and Angels with Dirty Faces charity events.
