Peter Keenan (8 August 1928; Anderston, Glasgow, Scotland - 26 July 2000) was a renowned Scottish bantamweight boxer of the 1950s. Keenan won European, British and Empire crowns in a distinguished 11-year career spanning 66 fights. Yet he will perhaps be best remembered for a title he never sought, and one which remained a constant source of exasperation; that of being the finest British boxer never to win a world championship. www.theguardian.com International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHdroberts 11/21/2013 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 6b28e391-b0d2-4353-8a72-44eff7d40385
