Question

Sorry to read that - hope he is OK. But was he ever World Champion. I know he was GB champion but didn't think he got any further than that???

Nasty bloke ?? Don't know where that comes from. Not a MENSA candidate but a regular sort of guy or have I missed something ('arry?) D

Mental health problems are far more common than society likes to think. Lets hope he gets good treatment and recovers fully.

since his marrige issues he did a few shows where he came accross as a bit of a thug.....in fact i got the impression that the bloke he would have become had he not found boxing lurked very close to the surface. sad that he's sick all the same.

in contrast to eubank who everyone loved to hate yet his recent tv stuff shows him as a nice bloke (if a little "excentric")

Question

Why are people so surprised that cute n' cuddly Frank Bruno has a dark side to his personality? He was a boxer for goodness sake! They have to have a dark side in order to be able to go for the victory.

Hopefully he'll get some peace out of the limelight now, to get his life back in order. I do hope so.

We met him a few years ago when he opened the southport flower show.

despite his managers protestations he came down to the local with us- got some really good photos of him with my old man.

he really is a true gent, and a really lovely guy. hope they get him sorted out.
