Jimmy Croll was a Scottish welterweight boxer. Croll was unbeaten as an amateur in a career that stretched to 250 fights. He reached his pinnacle against Peter Waterman at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Victory would have given him an opportunity to fight for the British title but, after suffering a cut eye and a nose bleed, he received a punch to the solar plexus. He took a count and wanted to fight on but the referee stopped the contest. After retiring from boxing, Croll became a prison officer and worked in jails all over the United Kingdom, settling finally in Kingston-upon-Hull. www.thecourier.co.uk 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 11/29/2013 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 ede01a39-6a5d-4bf5-8f68-734933550b00
