After Dinner Speakers: Steve Collins, Ed Byrne, Hanan Ashrawi

Collins was perhaps the least heralded but most successful middleweight boxer of the early '90s, boasting win doubles over both Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn. Never a flashy fighter, the Celtic Warrior was durable, in your face and punishing with his blows. Superstars competitors beware - Collins says he is a very bad loser, a claim backed up by 36 career wins and only three losses. Since retiring from the ring he has remained active and expects to do well in the gym and the running events. He will also be hoping to show off his football skills, once claiming that he could have signed professionally for Carlisle - and not just because his brother was their manager at the time!
