From the Maitland Mercury report:
Long before he became a boxing champion and stole the hearts of a nation, Les
Darcy had to learn to dance.
Believed to be a little clumsy on his somewhat large feet, Darcy was
encouraged to take dance lessons to improve his boxing technique.
It has now been revealed that the master of dance and his apprentice now rest
side by side at East Maitland Catholic Cemetery.
