Wasn't a boxing fan but will never forget the adverts with Frank Bruno.

It was Henry who basically made it acceptable for men to wear deoderant in Britain. Before he started advertising it it was seen as effeminate. So thank Henry for the fact that you don't have to put up with men that stink of BO.

I saw him at a local school fete a few years ago which he had opened as he lived nearby and he was utterly charming and lovely. Signing autographs, chatting to everyone and just being generally great to the kids and adults. A real star!
