Brilliant fun and bucket list stuff for me, sitting down and having a right laugh with Frank

Back in the day i didnt know anyone that didnt love Frank. A legend of a man. Probably too honest and far too trusting of others around him that made a good luving off his back. So happy to see he's still 'duckin 'n divin'. Great show as always.

@@CriminalConnectionPodcast great interview. Frank said it himself, Michael Watson. Doesn’t get the same amount of mentions as Benn or Eubank but he was an absolute monster and used to love watching him fight. He gave Benn hell when they fought and his fights with Eubank were unreal. Deserves all the respect in the world that man.
