Eddie Thomas
Eddie Thomas MBE (27 July 1926 – 2 June 1997), was a Welsh boxing champion and boxing manager.
Thomas was born in Merthyr Tydfil. After a highly successful amateur boxing career, he turned professional in 1946. He won the Welsh welterweight title in 1948, the British welterweight title in 1949, and the European welterweight title in 1951, retaining it for only four months. He held the British Empire title for a period in the same year.
Retiring in 1954, he became the manager of two of Britain's most successful boxing champions, Howard Winstone and Ken Buchanan.
Thomas had a successful business career for a time, but in 1994 he was forced to resign as Mayor of Merthyr Tydfil.
A BBC TV programme, Champ from Colliers Row, was made about him in 1997, shortly after his death.

List of Coronation Street characters (1964)
Coronation Street is a British soap opera, initially produced by Granada Television. Created by writer Tony Warren, Coronation Street first broadcast on ITV on 9 December 1960. The following is a list of characters introduced in the show's fifth year, by order of first appearance.
In what remains one of the serial's most dramatic and influential years to date, 1964 saw no less than four producers take the helm of the show. Apart from a short month-long break in which original producer Stuart Latham took over for one last stint, Margaret Morris presided over Coronation Street until May, in which she introduced Irma Ogden (Sandra Gough) in late January. Radical young producer Tim Aspinall took the reins in May and quickly made his mark by writing out several characters including Frank Barlow, Harry and Concepta Hewitt, Jerry and Myra Booth and most controversially, Martha Longhurst, a favourite with viewers who Aspinall chose to kill off in his very first episode. A week later, Aspinall introduced a new regular in the form of Charlie Moffitt (Gordon Rollings).
Eddie Thomas (footballer, born 1931)
Edwin Henry Charles "Eddie" Thomas (born 9 November 1931) is a retired English footballer, who played as a goalkeeper for Southampton in the early 1950s.
Football career
Thomas was born in Swindon, Wiltshire where he became an apprentice engineer with British Rail at the Swindon Works. Whilst playing for the works team, he caught the eye of a scout from Southampton of the Football League Second Division, joining them as an amateur in 1949.
He made his reserve team debut on 17 December 1949, displacing Len Stansbridge, and over the next year, he and Stansbridge vied for the role of second choice 'keeper behind Scottish international Ian Black. Black moved to Fulham in July 1950, with Northern Irish international Hugh Kelly joining the Saints in exchange. On 7 October 1950, Kelly was called into the Northern Irish team for a match against England and manager Sid Cann promoted Thomas to the first-team for a match against Birmingham City. At a month before his 18th birthday, Thomas thus became Southampton's youngest-ever first-team goalkeeper, until the debut of Bob Charles in 1959. Although the match was lost 2–0, Thomas was not deemed to be at fault for either of the goals.

The Fight
by: Froggy FreshIt was me and mike in our hometown
We were hangin out playin on the playground
We were runnin round doin our thing
Then up walks James and his gang
We said hey we dont want any trouble
Then james said well I hate to burst your bubble
But your about to get your butt kicked bad
Your bout to get shot, your bout to get stabbed
Then james sent two of his guys
We punched them in the eye and they both began to cry
Mike said james you better back up
You keep talkin smack you gon get smacked up
James said go attack right now
The situation turned into a real fight now
2 vs 2 were the two man crew
Yeah its true cuz we stick together just like glue
It's a fight to the finish a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
We're the best and we're better than the rest
It's a fight to the finish, a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
We're the best and we're better than the rest
Bulldog chased me to the top of the slide
I kicked him off the side, everybody thought he died
But he didn't cuz he never does
Bulldog is the toughest bad guy that there ever was
Mike was fighting like he never fought before
He punched snake eyes and he knocked him on the floor
But snake eyes is a crafty little guy
He grabbed Mike's leg and he stabbed him in the thigh
Mike pulled out the knife, he was fighting for his life
Then bulldog shot me in the left arm twice
It felt like a spike, I ran over to Mike
I looked at Bulldog and said you better take a hike
Me and Mike locked arms and we started spinning round
To the average human being we looked like a couple clowns
But me and mike both knew what to do
Them punks came runnin' and they both went boom
It's a fight to the finish a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
We're the best and we're better than the rest
It's a fight to the finish a battle to the death
The only one who leaves is the last man left
We're the toughest of the tough, we're the best of the best
