Hi Darren, we was really pleased to hear someone has still got Bartley at heart & wants to know more. Who exactly are you related too? Are you something to do with Shaun or Maria, or are you on Annes side? Where are you from? We are just curious to know your link...because we knew so many from Bartleys family, & still keep in touch, but haven`t heard from Shaun or Marie for a while now. I think people had to heal.

Hi well I am from south Wales and I am related to Bartley through marriage my wife is a blood relative. Unfotunatly I never had the chance to meet him but my wife has many childhood memories of Bartley the man not just the fighter.I have read his book and watched the channel 4 documentary and was inspired to learn more about him.After many hours looking on the web I could not find anything recent and up to date .So here I am trying to keep his memory alive and give people a chance to catch up.
