A good bit of sporting history for someone: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/boxing-champ-randolph-turpins-gloves-up-for-auction-47317/A pair of Randolph's boxing gloves are up for auction.

I came across Dick Turpin & his history when it was being decided where to put a statue of him. It ended up in Warwick's Market Square.

My dad was a local boxer, I was brought up with such names.
Did you know Dick Turpin had a local connection?
