"I fought at lighheavyweight" explains former World Boxing Champ, John Conteh, "but we're all hoping you'll produce a heavyweight fundraising total for the BCQ's charities. They all do great work for kids today and in the future".


"If I tell you that I won the world title in 1974, what year was I defeated, and how many of my 39 pro fights do you think I won?"

Liverpool's inspired (and often eccentric) former goalie Bruce Grobbelaar is not joking when he urges, "Our kids and teenagers deserve the very best chances we can give them - on the field or off it - and the BCQ charities have come up with a great way to help towards that goal. You'll have a great time and it'll only cost a few quid, so go for it!"


"I won 13 medals in 13 seasons with Liverpool, but do you know which country I played baseball and cricket for?"
