Jimmy Egan, was an absolute Gentleman, an excellent coach, and not just for his own benefit or gym. I boxed for the neighbouring club Sharston ABC, but Jimmy was always a friendly positive coach who like myself travelled to many shows up and down the country. Regrets in life.... not going to Jimmy Egan’s club. R.I.P. Jimmy. Best Regards Simon Byrne.
Had this on in the background keepin an eye on+off whilst ironin and tidyin up. 12:31 made iz pause + go "Wat the F**k he just say?!" 🤣 Crackin. Gona watch it agen propa. Gud effort spurrin the lads+lasses on
Really not sure why I've remembered this now, but .... (This was Pre internet and stuff, about 86/87 i'd say) ... I'm from the other side of town from Wythenshawe. Salford, Ordsall to be precise , so didn't know anything about Jimmy, Steve and Co and Egans Gym. I used to train and box for Salford Lads Club a couple of times a week .... Anyway, I saw a poster in Ordsall Sports centre for a new Boxing gym/classes starting up at the Sports centre .... I used to go down, the main trainer was a little fella called Jimmy from Wythenshawe that had had Gyms but had no gyms at the moment and was spreading his wings further afield. I think it was short lived in Ordsall. Obviously with it being 33 years ago, my memory is a little hazy, but i'm sure it was Jimmy Egan, and i'm sure Steve (Egan) used to come as well. n Is there anybody that might be able to confirm this? Thank you Leon.
