Just been reading on this site about the Pallo McManus feud.

Those great bouts on T.V and more behind the scenes in the 1960's going into the 1970's with at least three more bouts.
One statistic stood out for me. 17 bouts in the years 1967-1969 and in these years the Feud came to Northern Rings. I had no idea also that they met 4 times at the Royal Albert Hall.
We knew they had met in the 1950's and I had found a few of them.
But now I have took a real good look and it is my opinion with only sources that are available to me that the true number would be double what I have found.
So how many times did I find these two in the 1950's.........It was 30 times
Enjoy the glimpse I offer and some particularly rich periods. Amazing Stats.
I still can't get over six match-ups in Coventry. And four in Cambridge. What on earth was going on? Of course, the match wasn't special in the fifties. You could find stats like these for countless other pairings. This was probably just the way thinks worked.
