Howard Evans remembers the time the late sports writer Tom Lyons covered a boxing occasion which saw one of the Kray brothers fighting on the undercard, the very same Kray brothers whose underworld activities in the 1950s and 1960s didn’t come with too many cuddles.
Disappointingly for the brother in question that evening, a points decision went against him.
“Mrs Kray, the boys’ mother, recognised Tom at ringside and shouted over to him: ‘I don’t agree with the verdict, Mr Lyons. I’m not accepting that. We’ll have to see about it'," recalls Evans.
