I'm sure there are many on here who remember the 'Hurricane'.

Had it not been for the injustice he received he could well have become a world champion.

RIP Rubin

Ah, my condolences to his family

I've met him in person, when he came to speak at our school. Very interesting man, though the overwhelming impression he gave in person was of someone who's mad as a hatter!

But was certainly interesting to listen to and passionate about his cause.
