Pat McCann passed away a few years back . JC is my neighbour and a very good man indeed .
Thanks for posting this. I've seen their first fight several times but this gives it an even greater sense of history.
Great videos more talent between Buchanan, Conteh & Finnegan than there is in all of British Boxing today!, 🥊
I can remember driving home to my house in Iver about 2 am guy wandered into the road obviously very drunk causing me to stop annoyed at me for being on the road he bent over the front of the car shouting abuse. It was Chris Finnegan he had a professional fight the next day.
Chris sparring with his brother Kevin in the red Tshirt, Ken showing his great ' I'm my own man attitude '
Chris Finnegan is my Grandad
Nice to hear two fighters respecting the other man,not like most of the rubbish you hear before fights today.Ken Buchanan sounds very like Graeme Souness,which isn't a big surprise,I suppose,as both were from Edinburgh.
Interesting video enjoyed
Top bloke Pat Mccann

What fiasco did Buchanan refer to? Halcyon days when boxing was great.
