RON LYLE died 10 years ago and left behind his fair share of memories and myths.

Lyle was a guest once on a show I did on BBC London, a weekly boxing hour on the radio. I think Lyle shared the 60 minutes with Brendan Ingle, Audley Harrison, Jim McDonnell and George Groves. It was quite a show.

Lyle also shared the ring with legends, giants.
