Someone posted an old film of Rudi Pika and Bruno's amateur fight from 1980 the other day. If any of you are into Welsh boxing history and fighters records have a look here :--

Just click on the boxers names

Jim Dricscoll wasn't from the "docks" he was from newtown. which was literally next to the bute east dock but not the "docks" as we know it.


good site tho

I have read Jimmy Wildes auto biography a truly inspirational man. But at the end it was heartbreaking to read as an OAP he was beaten up by a gang of thugs at a railway station. Real hard men that wouldn't of been fit to lace the legends boots.
Also a cracking read is Jim Driscoll book which is called Peerless Jim, that is one hell of a read a true Champion.

haha Its a bit like saying Shirley Bassey was from Tiger bay, She was from Portmanmoor Road. The thing was any place under the bute Bridge was known as down the Docks.
