Always a hard man to fight as he was short ,stocky and powerful.Based in Wellington in later life he went to Nelson to establish a muscle farm .
Party man
Mick who only had one eye as the other was a glass would take it out and casually clean it as if it was something he always did.

I last saw Mick at Pat Toner 80th birthday in Wellington 2 years ago.
Mick, a tough liverpudlian who beat up his tenants when due rent wasn't paid on his investment properties. Rest in peace.
