Always had a soft spot for Henry as we are from the same neck of the woods and he looks a bit like my Dad (or vice versa).

I remember listening to the Bugner fight on the radio and the sheer shock that Henry lost (apparently he was robbed).

Felt a bit sorry for Joe in that pretty much everyone in the UK hated him after that!

Henry also great later as a captain on A Question Of Sport.

RIP
