Sowerbutt's Fights

WO, as the old guardsman was known, said: "You look after your lads and lasses like a treat, Jimmy. That’s why you get such loyalty. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone, anyone at all, on our patch who would do the dirty on you, old son.”
WO Barker remembered Sowerbutt in the many fights with the Stepney Reds, head down, fists like pistons, resorting to cosh and knife when necessary. After a while, the Red strong-arm boys simply avoided him, he was too much trouble. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Lemon-Surrender-1940-ebook/dp/B008USR7FA
