Macklin's Take #179 A Small Heath Boxing club special
This week on Macklin's Take we bring you a very special episode.
We talk often on the podcast about amateur boxing, about how vital amateur clubs are, not just to the sport, but also to the communities they belong to, and how the people who run them are the sport's true, unsung heroes.
Well a couple of weeks ago Matt invited me along to the birthday party of his old amateur coach, a man who helped save and shape so many young people's lives and who also brought through more than his fair share of champions.
Pat Benson, in his late 80s now, ran Small Heath Boxing club, a powerhouse of an ABC, for decades and the turnout at the Irish Centre spoke volumes about the esteem in which he is held by everyone who walked through the doors of the club.
We sat down with the likes of Wayne Elcock, Paul Ramsey, Anthony Maynard, Rowan Williams, Dennis Brown and Shaun Cogan amongst others to re-live some glory days and reflect on the impact boxing and Small Heath has had on their lives.

Great Small Heath Boxing Club episode
Please do more episodes around amateur boxing gyms. Really refreshing to hear proper boxing talk in the era we have now of professional boxing fights not being made between rivals in the UK especially but also around the world and YouTube/white colour boxing (or whatever you want to call it) inexplicably getting coverage not only on YouTube but also on 5Live etc
The Mike Tyson of Pods
Welcome back fellas. So glad it’s back in my Lugholes. Love this pod. Macklin and Clark tag team is a winner. Forget the other misfit pods, this one’s the real deal. Proper informed opinions by two really likeable guys. Like / Subscribe… 5 Start all the way.
A really enjoyable listen
A really enjoyable listen. Macklin is always on the money, I find, and Andy Clarke is the next Mike Costello…(no pressure)…I listen to all the main boxing pods but this one is the most insightful and eye opening (alongside Tris Dixons Boxing Life Stories) into the spit and sawdust of boxing - mainly due to the guests, but also the fact there’s no agenda, just knowledgeable chat. Nice job fellas
