My thoughts are with his family and many friends at this sad time.

So sorry to hear of the sad passing of boxer, barber, bouncer, mentor & all round #Galway legend Michael ‘Chick’ Gillen. He taught my Dad to box, & I’d grown up hearing stories; I was delighted to have met him in his prime & he kindly let me photograph him for some artwork.
