on Abbedale Road ??

Sometimes I go by on the bus and a car with NAS1 is outside !?!

Yes, thats Naseems gym Abbeydale Road opposite the bottom of Edgedale Road/Carterknowle Road .

Cheers mate, thought so.

:D

Used to be a laundrette before he added the pillers, gym, ring, posters and sunbed [?]

Ady

really keen to get this portrait of Nas seen by the man himself

I painted him together with Ali his hero

It looks well classy now.

I think you'll find that the laundry was nearby, and has just turned into a takeaway noodle bar.

Nas' gym was originally a car mechanic I think.

He is not allowed to draw attention to himself, and the blinds are always down. I have passed the place 4 times a day for the last 10 years and I don't think he goes there very often anylonger.

I'm amazed about the bit when he thought ' you know what will look good - massive white pillars. You can never have too many massive white pillars'. To me they say chic.

Immediately before that arrogant plonker took it over, it was actually a carpet shop.
Previous to that, I can't be sure. They sold carpets for years though.

Why don't you put it on Photobucket and post a link then we can all see it a bit better?

Yes you're right.

The garage is now a pine shop, that's a bit nearer town on the same stretch.

Forgive my G.K. But who is this prince Naseem ...?

Arrogant local boxer. Drives like a ****

He's a tiny little man, about 3'2", he used to be a pretty good boxer. And is probably the richest man in sheffield.

He's not that tall!

He's just gone and bought himself a brand new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Not the cheapest of cars :R

He likes his Mercs, doesn't he?

He's already got an SL55 AMG and a CL500 coupe (NAS 1).

Is he only 3'2?! Is that why he has to park in disabled spots and on pavements cos he's too short to walk very far?

I've not seen any of his penis extension cars parked in disabled spots but he does sometimes have a vehicle on the pavement by his gym but it could probably be argued that he is on the forecourt of the building not on the pavement. If the pavement ever starts to break up though I know who the finger of blame should be pointed at. He got into trouble when the local residents complained about him playing excedingly loud music in the gym whilst he was working out and so had to turn it down .

Yep he's really tiny, I was stood with him at the snooker at the crucible a couple of years ago, I nearly slipped him into my pocket 'cause I was thinking I could get a few quid for him on e-bay, But he was ok and said hello to me in a nice friendly way
.
Of course he's cocky, but he was pretty good at boxing, so you've got to give him his due. He spends lots of his money in sheffield, so in a small way we all benefit.
And he always mentions sheffield, he seems pretty proud of our home city.

Sheffield lad made good.

i heard a rumour that he maybe boxing again this summer!

I can confirm that there is a rumour, he is in training again and has lost some weight to get into shape, recons to be fighting soon.

What is it about always knocking people who have worked very hard and been successfull?

Naz has trained extremely hard and fought to get his position in Boxing. Ok, he's not a heavyweight but so what?

Can you do any better? No, I don't think so. When you can beat him in the ring the you are in a position to knock him, until then why not show some respect?

OK if I were ever to meet him I would treat him just like every other person I meet, but credit where credit is due - good luck to him.

met him a few times, seems alright.

you should expect some flashyness if thats what its called, its part of his job I suppose.

anyway, i reckon he did a pretty good job while he was boxing!

Exactly, what do you expect a multimillionaire world famous sports personality to do, drive around in a 10 year old escort with the exhaust blowing?
1)It's his money,
2)He's earned it
3)He spends a great deal of it in sheffield
4)He's got more right to it than someone who wins a fortune on the lottery
5)They should give him the freedom of the city, enabling him to drive sheep up fargate or a merc up a pavement if he likes.
6)I'm proud of him he's from sheffield

Funny as i just posted a THING about him in Sports Chat, i remember him being from Sheff, he once came to the states to fight to, if it's the same one i'm thinking of, is he colored?

Well poppins, he's of Yemeni extraction. And he's been around for a decade so you'll probably remember him if it was him.
He was very full of himself and cocky when he was very young, always shouting his mouth off, but a world champion non the less.

Going back a bit further, we had Herol "Bomber" Graham from sheffield who was a black sheffield boxer. He was middleweight though, but he won quite a few titles, and had a good run. Must be around 40+ now, saw him about a year ago in the pub, he still looks extremely fit.

Sounds like the Prince i'm talking about, only going back about 10 years, he was a feather weight boxer, cam to the states about 8/9 years ago.

Thanks for the info..... shows you how little i know about sports

Yeah that's him.
I know nothing about sports either. Can't stand football.
