    Teddy Snowball

    There is a 1927 postcard on Ebay with a picture of a Southport boxer called Teddy Snowball, who fought between 1927-1935.

    Does anybody have any more info on the man?

    Was that his real name or was it the name he used to box under?

    His surname is Aspinall, he lived down Pauls lane & worked as a groundsman at Stanley school when I was there in the 60s if I remember rite. Also his son Tony was my mate as a lad & he is in the stanley team photo that I posted on here under stanley v meols cop. He is back row 1st player in white. ( I was the goalie for stanley)

    Colin, is that you? I think you might have worked on the linotype next to me at the Visiter many years ago.
