My dad, Harry Mullan
Harry Mullan, one of the great Boxing News editors, lived and breathed the sport right up until the end, writes Siobhan Hamilton, his daughter
MY dad Harry Mullan would have been 75 this week. He has never left the Mullan family even though he passed away over 20 years ago. We talk about him all the time like he’s still around. He didn’t get to meet all his grandchildren but they all know who their grandad is.
Even his great-grandchildren know who their great-grandad is. Ashley Mullan, my eldest grandson, is 12 years old and will make his amateur boxing debut in the coming months. While many were drawn to football, Ashley expressed an interest in boxing from an early age and I’m told he’s a natural with lots of talent. He currently boxes at Aylesham ABC (where Shane McGuigan started out) and wants to go on to become a professional one day.
