differnt rich dunns[edit]

The "Tim and Eric" Rich Dunn is much, much older than 62 years old. 134.53.115.233 04:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two articles[edit]

We definitely need two separate articles for the two men, especially because there is actually a surprisingly large amount that can be written about the actor. See: http://www.actorricharddunn.com/ 64.91.216.14 (talk) 01:54, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did he pass away?[edit]

I see Tim and Eric put up a blog post on 6 June 2010 saying 'Richard Dunn' 1935-2010. Anyone know anything else? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stuart mcmillen (talk • contribs) 01:14, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Dunn - paratrooper, too?[edit]

Autochthony writes: - an article in the (London) Daily Telegraph of today - 4th September 2010 - suggests that Richard Dunn, the boxer, had been a paratrooper before becoming a boxer. The article, written by the (?ex-)presenter Des Lynam also states that Dunn had - maybe still has - a slight stammer. The article is on page S23, and can be found at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/boxingandmma/david-haye/7980298/Audley-Harrison-has-the-ability-to-beat-David-Haye-in-WBA-title-fight.html . Does this matter? Should it be included?

Born in Leeds?[edit]

I thought he was from Bradford? This source mentions "The homecoming was astonishing; tens of thousands of people lining the streets of Bradford" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-1227853/For-fighting-Muhammad-Ali-I-got-52-000-says-Richard-Dunn-David-Haye-millions-useless-lumps--good-luck-him.html#ixzz1dKO8CpXn

He also has a sports centre in Bradford named after him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Richard_Dunn%C2%92s_sports_centre_-_geograph.org.uk_-_16164.jpg, so I thought that's probably where he's from. Kaleeyed (talk) 18:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh according to other sources he was born in Halifax and moved to Bradford. Kaleeyed (talk) 18:56, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
