The Punching Pitman: The Career of Frankie Jones

Andrew Paterson

"It was post World War II, and coal mining communities faced their own struggles. Leisure time was in short supply, with food rationing and hard labour the staples of the time. Life was completely different from how we live today. Entering the pits like his father, after completing his National Service, Frankie Jones knew he could achieve more. When prizefighting for pay led to championship gold, it soon became apparent that this 'Punching Pitman' was about to put the small Stirlingshire village of Plean firmly on the map forever."
