The Old Timer

 

These magazines are now available for £5.00 each inc p+p. I produce three or four each year. So far, I have prodoced 5 magazines. Each magazine typically features a series of detailed articles on pre war boxers, drawing on information that I gather from the very many families that I help. Each edition has eight or ten articles with good quality photographs and boxers records included.
