Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 17 May 2007

King of ring!

• I WAS so pleased to read about young Johny Brown in this week’s issue of the Camden New Journal (Optician couldn’t see boxing future, May 10).
During the twenties and thirties, I lived in the same street as he did in the East End of London.
I remember young Johny and his mother very well, as we only lived about four houses away from each other.
I would love to speak to Ronald Brown and tell him about some of the things I remember about those days.
I am almost 88 years old so I shouldn’t think there are many left who remember the days when young Johny was quite a celebrity. I remember when his father got married and when he was born.
