Recently we had a thread that mentioned Chris Eubank the boxer. I mentioned that C E’s fight against Michael Watson was the best fight I had ever seen until the tragic ending. That ending, in the 12th and final round, saw Michael get knocked out and spend the next 40 days in a coma. That was 12 years ago, now, still disabled but undaunted, he is almost at the end of the London Marathon (he will finish at 12 noon on Easter Saturday) in which he is competing to raise funds for Brain and Spine Foundation. With all the shit going on in the world today, I salute you Michael and wish you well. You can read a bit about him here www.disabilitynow.org.uk/features/features_1.htm if you want to give a donation, the link is there (my name is on the list of contributors, but not as Danny Boy).

Michael Watson is on BBC Prime today, the sports personalities program, very good to see, if you get the chance.
