RIP
was only talking about him with mum and dad the other day, they saw the young ali train in ghana back in 64… the year before i was born… wowsers
he was their, already with a burgeoning interest in pan african and civil rights issues… (thanks flaps for showing me the lrb article, pic probs nigeria on same trip)
oh and as someone else pointed out watch ‘when we were kings’, a fascinating, beautiful film… in his pomp such a gabble and flamboyant swagger!
okey doke tweed jacket costume on… wedding bound xxx
