Eubank - Hero or Plonker ?

[Easy 10]

I always remember him parading his belt in the centre circle at the Goldstone after he'd beaten Benn. A very odd character, but a fantastic fighter with the heart of a lion. Top man.

 

[Brovion]

Really pleased to see NSC coming down firmly in the 'Hero' camp. A definite one-off and as has been said a superb boxer. Really proud to have him as a Brightonian.

Isn't he Lord Brighton or something? It would have been worth keeping the House of Lords just to see him in it.

 

[Brixtaan]

Top bloke. How often do we hear people complain about an absence of 'characters' in sport nowadays? We had one then. He knew how to talk/act up a fight without the usual hysterical hype,

here here
sorely missed

 

[aftershavedave]

an absolute legend and very nice bloke.

a fantastic tourist attraction too....has anyone ever spent a summer's day walking through town and NOT seen him?

 

[Brighton Jock]

total legend and is very approachable when out and about.........

 

[bhaexpress]

Did a great job as a boxer even if he is slightly off the wall. Unfortunately I knew the guy he rans over (I was at school with him) and I rather feel that he got off lightly.

 

[Steve in Oz]

Chris is a total legend, he changed the way boxing is today. the way he used to enter the ring was awesome. Many pretend they are the best he is SIMPLY THE BEST

 

[sully]

Bumped into him at Victoria waiting for a train a few months back.

He was basically getting in peoples way in the hope that they'd recognise him and start a conversation!

Top geezer. Nothing wrong with being eccentric.

Probably the best boxer to come out of Brighton since my Godfather. Actually, I think even he would admit that Eubank is better.

 

[Hiney]

Met him in Costa once - top bloke although a little eccentric. All the more reason to watch the show tonite

 

[bigc]

his heart is in the right place, and his eccentritic is part of the charm

 

[Sorrel]

He almost ran me over.

 

[Gritt23]

Ive heard his missus puts it about a bit..
They have an " Open " marraige/relationship by all accounts.

Don't know where you heard that Marshy, but you are completely wrong.

 

[Bozza]

Top bloke. A great fighter, a great personality and almost a Brighton tourist attraction in his own right.

Makes people's day when they see him out in his truck.

 

[JJ McClure]

Great boxer, and an entertaining chap. So what if he's a bit eccentric and OTT its better than being dull.

The fights with Benn were superb and the biggest thing at the time. A mate of mine supported Benn, while I liked Eubank, great days.

I still refer to the bridge over the A23 where he had the accident as "Eubank Bridge".

 

[Gritt23]

Does anyone know why he changed his name from "Eubanks" ?

 

[Rougvie]

Hero in my book, was only really ever interested in 'Boxshing' till the likes of him Benn and Watson were on the scene, now couldn't give a monkeys about the sport.
Met him once in the Palmeira Cafe when I moved back to Hove, a nicer guy you couldnt hope to meet.


Sheep Shagg*r

 

[tinx]

He was a quality fighter in his time however his personality would class him as a prize twat.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Legend. I remember meeting him in the marina when i was battered. He was talking to an old biddy for ages - she had no idea who he was. great lad, and good to see him meet Watson at the end of the Marathon
