Two-Fisted Gentlemen – A history of boxing in Widnes and Runcorn (1900 – 1960) John F Sinnott

9781908098764Author: John F Sinnott
Release Date: 14th August 2013
Format: Paperback
ISBN: 978-1-908098- 76-4

About the author

Many books have been written about British boxers who went on to achieve national and international honours; men such as ‘Peerless’ Jim Driscoll, Ted ‘Kid’ Lewis, Len Harvey, Henry Cooper, Alan Minter and Barry McGuigan and rightly so. Books that focus exclusively on the growth and popularity of boxing in the provincial towns around Britain are rare. This book hopefully gives the reader a vivid insight into the world of boxing as it developed in the adjacent Merseyside towns of Widnes and Runcorn between 1900 and 1960.

    An superb piece of accademic research from an author who really knows his subject. Precise sporting profiles and social history in a local context.
    For me it was a family history realisation, my Great Uncle being the star of the book – the amazing Tom Burns of Widnes – former English Light Weight boxing Champion recorded by John F Sinnott fight after fight in 3D realism.
