July 19th 1972 Muhammed Ali defeats Al “Blue” Lewis at Croke Park Dublin in the 11th round. On his trip he tried his hand at the great game of hurling and had some fun with Garda along the way! #Ireland #OTD #Onthisday pic.twitter.com/KJLLAQNtX2

Must send that on to my Da, he was at the fight, even though..quote “you were a baby, we were in a one room flat on the North Circular, I hadn’t a pot to piss in, I said boo boo to it, when am I gonna see HIM again”.
