you know the reason for that is most of the members are too young to really have watched Ail when he was fighting. i have noticed in all of the posts about Ail have very few hits or replys. i missed the watching Ail also but not because of my age, i am 42, but i was in a place where you just heard the name but had no access to anything else

all i know is that his father was a painter.

I could answer almost all of these off the top of my head, but I will let some others have a go at it, I do thank you for bringing up Jeff Candy Slim Merritt though, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time, and a name that a lot of people probably don't know unless you're atleast 40 years old.
