The verse narration spoken by VERNON SCANNELL
Produced by RAYNER HEPPENSTALL
Vernon Scannell was once a first-class amateur boxer, winning the Northern Universities Championships at welter, middle, and cruiserweight, and later boxing for a time as a professional. In this programme he remembers the nervous ordeal that he faced as a youth of sixteen waiting to box in the final bout of the Junior Amateur Championships held in a famous London stadium of the thirties. He remembers, too, another fight: the conflict between two aspects of his temperament-the aspiring poet and the aspiring pugilist.
