Tell him Sheffieldhistory.co.uk says hi !!

See if he'll come on and share some memories !?

I once serviced his alarm system.

Turned up to this house one saturday morning and was faced by this bloke trying to be funny on the door step. I was in no mood for it and was very shirty with him.

In my head I was thinking...this bloke needs a slap then I went in one of the rooms and saw some photos of him and realized who he was.

He was a nice fella to be honest but winding me up on a morning aint clever.

My nan nearly kicked his ass once

My grandads best mate was also Bombers best mate Eric Thorpe, a nice bloke who Bomber was with quite alot, i think they were related somehow.

Anyway bomber had a lucky escape that day, he was quick but not that quick :D

herol grahm is from nottingham but came to sheffield as a teenager after winning 2 national titles and was taken under the wing of great boxing coach brenden ingle. he was like poetry in motion what a fighter he was

[seanylove]

He also had very little luck in and out of the ring apparently married badly, got divorced which cost him a lot of money then he was only 1 round away from winning a world title and got knocked out with seconds left on the clock also he was in an era before sky television took off and there wasnt as much money floating around as there is today in terms of talent he was much better than naseem hamed but naz was luckier and a better showman

My Media course students arranged to film him on his morning training run. They were devastated to find he started a 4.30am. They arrived back embarrassed as they had omitted to take any recording tape with them and had borrowed one off Herol. He warned them not to use the first 30 minutes of the tape as it contained the previous nights Corrie! A real Gent.

He used to live near my Grandmother in Millhouses. I remember meeting him when I was a kid on my way to a Wednesday match. My dad said to me 'Do you know who this is?' and Herol came over to shake my hand saying 'Don't be scared' . He seemed a genuinley nice bloke.

A neighbour told me he once did a charity exhibition at the local pub (Forum Sandstone Road). He invited anyone to spar with him and try to hit him on the chin whilst he had his hands tied behind his back. I don`t think anyone managed to lay a glove on him though.
