wolfstalin   10 #26 Posted August 2, 2008 Denis Hobson, what a top guy. His legendery two battles with Joe Durrant (might not have spelt that right, if not sorry Joe), his many set too's with Ray Morgan (another good guy, bloody tough though), but if you just wanted his company he was as nice as pie. Any aspiring 'gun slinger' enevitably came into contact with him, most wish that they hadn't.  I remember Morgan catching up with Dennis once in the car park of the Chequers at Coal Aston, there was only one punch thrown but it cleaved poor ol' Dennis clean over the front of a Transit Van he was just about to get into.  In all my years I've only seen two guys bend an old style penny flat in half between just fore finger and thumb Morgan was one of them, about five foot one in all directions:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
