Thanks for the pic Cap. Ken Brady lived out near my neck of the woods, and along with Allen Williams, was one of our best heavies in the 1950's. I met him around 1985 when he ran an amateur boxing night in the local hall, and I must say he seemed to be a good bloke. Unfortunately he passed away not long after, from what I believe (if my memory is OK) was a heart attack.
I have also posted a colour pic of the Aussie Flyweight of the 1970's Henry Nissen, who won the Commonwealth title. These days he does a sterling job, in helping out with the homeless and disadvantaged.

Shane.
