I got to know Peter very well after he retired from boxing. He came to work at Naylor Bros. Engineers at Golborne between 1952-1962 and I can tell you he was a lovely,lovely man. so placid and well-mannered you would not believe he could have been so aggressive in the ring.
I started my apprenticeship as a motor mechanic at Naylor Bros in 1971, Peter Kane was there then.
