great british boxing legend passed away last week aged 76, the only boxer to ever floor the great ALI, a sad loss and a true gent.

Agreed, a legend in the sport and an ambassador for boxing.

Ali mentioned that he was one of the greatest people in boxing he had ever met.

Yeah. Very sad news. Everyone know`s, ali was saved by the bell, even him. He also had a twin brother george (identical).

Yes hit Ali with the Henery hammer.(Spoken in slang)

When Ali went down the whole country frose.

 


The first after shave  lotion add on TV(I think) was done by Henry.
Of course it was called BRUT. I remember buying it, when i was a teenager trying to be cool. Didn't even shave but the girls like it.
He's said on the add  "SPlash it all over" and it became a catch fraze for ages.
.

Would you believe i have a bottle sitting on the desk right now, but it's a modern one someone gave me and it's not to good.

 

A real character. Well liked here in the UK

I remember that one. Who was in the ad with him? Don`t you mean "splash it all over?". It`s like a trailer for the "scream" movies .

"Slash it all over!! Must have had a G&R  cd on.
