Taffy Jenkins, R.I.P.

This is a total shock to me. I saw the crash on the UK news, but never dreamed it involved an old friend. John and Mick Collins (whose name I took when Mick retired) all travelled together for Jack Taylor on a very regular basis - as many as seven or eight fights a week. There were even times when we were returning home after a long week, and John would work out a route away from the main drags, so Jack or Doug (Jack´s brother) would not see us and turn us around to go fight somewhere else, as often happened. Now we have lost him, and Mick Collins, too, fairly close together. R.I.P John. You were a good friend and confidante back in the day - the days we all lived in Leicester and lit up the Granby Halls. I shall always remember you.
