Jack Dormer, who has died aged 76, was an outstanding amateur boxer and coach at both local and national level.
It was a mark of the huge respect with which the young Jack Dormer was held as an amateur boxer that in the early 1960s the Glasgow professional middleweight and 1956 Olympic Games 72kg bronze medallist, John "Cowboy" McCormack, specifically requested that Dormer join his training camp as a sparring partner.
