Reg Gutteridge is knocking on a bit. Old tin leg may well be moving towards his final round.

Re the tin leg there's a great story about Sonny Liston and Reg. Liston complained that his 'the bear' nickname was stupid because black men have less body hair than white men. Reg bet him that Sonny had more hair on his leg than he did. Sonny took the bet and when they rolled up their trousers Reg - of course - won the bet. Liston apparently almost doubled up with laughter. Lost that there leg to a German mine whilst storming a beach didn't he?

 

Wiki page is a bit sketchy, just says b 1924, nowt on his current health.
