Having grown up in the area I know loads of friends who have boxed for Islington Boys club Butch Lesley, Grant McMeekin, Tommy Doherty, Johnny Reidy & many more. I am saddened by the present situation involving 'the sitting tenants' Boxercise class. I was a British Boxing Board of Control official for a number of years, thus know what Boys clubs such as Islington bring to the professional game. Ronny Hagland ia 'salt of the earth' and to name him in litigation is nothing short of national disgrace. Greed is a cancer that eats away at things, let us not let Islington Boys club suffer this fate! Support Lenny & Ronny - evict the 'sitting tenants' or SQUATTERS more like. I am surprised that a local law firm such as Wilson Barca (based at the Archway) would attack such a local institution, as it's hardly good for business.......... Greg Hue
