thats great i only just found out how good of a boxer he was by trying to find him, the guy he was working for at the time i meet him told me he was a boxer but never had access to internet then. beside what i know now he is a good lad who i never kept contact with i even plastered some of his house!! and saw photos! silly me. just wunded if he is still a sparky as we need one where we are and he sprung to mind, would be nice to catch up.

the boxer who died was called bradley stone. richie fought many fights after this but yea it could have affected him in someway.

Hi. I know this is an old post about Richie Wenton but my dad and step mum run a working men's club in Stocksbridge called The Peggy Tub and he goes in there all time now. My dad got talking to him and he has moved up Stocksbridge now.
