Here is a poem about Johnny Owen:
The thin, yet strong, brave little Welsh warrior.
O he sadly died way before his time!
His body was broken in a long and
Bloody battle, but his bold spirit will
Always remain with us. He was a true
Working class hero. His statue stands tall
And proud in his home town: Merthyr Tydfil.

Dominic the family of John Richard Owens /Johnny Owen would I believe be most proud of you, alongside myself and any Welsh person with breath in their body, who remembers this terrific boxer with a true lion's heart. Five most memorable stars my friend. Diolch Dominic a bydd croeso bob amser i chi unrhyw le yng Nghymru... Thank you Dominic and there will always be a welcome for you anywhere in Wales. Nos da.
