Recently, Review Officer Nikky, spoke to another one of our incredible service users, Stan, about his Olympic boxing career with his brother.
Stan is just one of our lovely service users who has a history of exceptional talent, and we think this talent takes the cake!
As an Olympic Boxer when he was aged just 21, Stan took part in a number of boxing fights, winning a number of fights.
Stan’s Time As An Olympic Boxer – A Feature
During Stan’s incredible boxing career, Stan had a feature in his local newspaper, captioned: “Boxing brothers with the Golden Globes club are Stan (left) and Ronnie Atherton. England international Stan, a 21-year-old lightweight, flew to Germany recently to make guest appearances for Manchester’s touring Cavendish club – the third time he old welterweight and a former schoolboy champion, recently made a successful ring come-back after an absence of over four years. Their father, Arthur Artherton is the secretary of the West Lancs & Cheshire Division, making them a real boxing family.”
What an incredible story! Thank you for sharing Stan.
