Of the two fighters who competed in those two famous fights at the beginning of the nineteenth century, it was Tom Cribb who emerged victorious and Tom Cribb who was ultimately taken to the nation’s heart. His tomb, in the shape of a lion, still stands in Saint Mary’s Gardens in Woolwich. However, despite a struggle with alcohol after his departure from boxing, a period in a debtors’ prison and an early death at the age of 34, it is undoubtedly Tom Molineaux who is the hero of Tom Green’s play and his is a story that deserves to be told.
