Very sad news, do you know how, he must only be about late 50's, l used to train with him at Pat Mathias's gym when he was boxing for Colin Breen, we used to run down to Mumbles on the beach l'd have trainers on and he'd have work boots on fit as a fiddle he was, l bumped into him in the Queens last Summer first time l'd seen him in 30 yrs, lovely to have seen him after all those yrs, great fella was Steve Top Man.

Only just seen this knew him very well,although not seen him for a couple of months.
He had serious problems with his kidneys a couple of years back and had a couple of ops
thought he was over it. Although he did lose a lot of weight.
Was living up the Hafod just off Neath Rd been there for about 20 years.
Would have been a very rich man if he did martial arts today,European champion in some disciplines,even in the late 70s
he was picking up £3000 a fight out in Germany a lot of money then. |  |

Just one example of how well Steve was thought of in martial arts circles.
Just talked to a mutual friend who was with him last Friday,Steve was waiting for
another kidney op,Steve said last Friday he was not to good. [Post edited 28 Apr 2016 19:31]

I saw him back last Summer and the weight had dropped from him, he did remember me, but it was clear that he had been ill, I wouldn't have recognised him if my mate hadn't told me, lovely fella probably one of the nicest guys to have ever worked the doors on the Kingsway back in the day. | |

Was Andy Weaver one of the instructors fairly short, stocky, longish curly hair and moustache? I remember him. |  |
