Our Henry's just passed away.

True British sporting icon in my opinion.

RIP Henry.

Sad news, a real boxing legend.

What a shocker.

Apart from his boxing I'll always remember how when he got into debt after some investment scheme bollocks went pear shaped he didn't complain and sold his belts off to pay his debts, unlike the other cunts who were all born into money and did everything they could not to pay up.

R.I.P Our Henry.

Just read on Wiki, that "Whispering" Ted Lowe, the snooker commentator died on the same day as Sir Henry. He was 90 years old

Lowe uttered the occasional on-air gaffe, his most famous quote being, "and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green." He once told viewers that Fred Davis, struggling to rest one leg on the edge of the table in order to reach a long shot, "is getting on a bit and is having trouble getting his leg over"

And it is reported that Seve Ballestros has just passed away as well
