Your great-uncle is Tony then? Mikey Coen followed the route of a lot of the Irish immigrants that poured into Manchester in the early to mid 1900s, and that was labouring, door work, and fighting for coin. I suspect like a lot of fighters who followed this route, they were more adapted to fairgrounds, back rooms in pubs, on the cobbles, where rules were looser by far. As a big fan of irish folk music, never knew he had a song penned. Slainte for that.

Aye mate Tony was my great uncle man .That was his best win he got smashed off Johnny Kidd and Jim Spike McCormacck from the falls road .

QUITE simply, Johnny Kidd, who died after suffering from Alzheimer's disease, was Aberdeen's most successful amateur and professional boxer.

Kidd did what 623 opponents of Scotland's only Olympic gold medal-winning boxer, lightweight, Dick McTaggart MBE failed to do - stop the legendary Dundee southpaw inside one round.
