Frank Bruno
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/pro...ad-and-me.html
I watched this last night, I had no idea that he was even suffering with bipolar, very upsetting but his daughter is trying to hi-light mental illness. I used to love him when I was a kid, his big Bruno laugh, he still laughs but his stuffing has gone

Re: Frank Bruno
This is completely new to me - I follow all sport closely (as most of you will know) but I did not know Bruno was ill.
It reminds me - I am going to try and find a brilliant article by the late great Ian Wooldridge about Bruno just before he fought Mike Tyson - bear with me.......

Re: Frank Bruno
My brother was a profesional welterweight and trained in Bruno's camp in the 80s- said he was a smashing chap - a real gentle giant.
Sad to hear about his struggles.
