Robert Carlyle Lends His Weight to Benny
Well it's official, Robert Carlyle has agreed to be the official patron on the Benny Lynch Campaign.
Having such a heavy weight celebrity behind us will hopefully build even more momentum and pressure to finally have a statue erected of Scotland's greatest ever boxer.
A huge thank you from the committee to Robert for lending us his support for the campaign.

Special Thanks
The campaign to build a statue of Benny is gaining momentum but we couldn't do it without the support of lots of local businesses and friends.
A very big thanks to the Brazen Head pub who have been fundraising on our behalf as well as the Quo Vadis bar in Cardonald who have taken fundraising cans.
Thank you to the Riverhill Cafe in Gordon Street where the staff have been sporting the fetching Benny T-Shirts and also a big thank you to Kelvin ABC boxing gym in Govanhill who have produced the T-shirts appeared on TV and allow us to use the gym for our meetings. There are so many more to thank so keep visiting our news page for more thank you's and updates.
