Re: Harry Carpenter Dies
Yes very sad - He will always be the voice of boxing to me, being brought up by a Dad who - in the early days at least - listened to every match on the radio.
Later when we got TVs I remember one time Harry got splashed with blood from a split eye while commentating. (I can't remember now from which boxer) But the poor guys' reaction was one of shocked disgust - quite amusing at the time seeing as he used to almost have his nose in the ring!
