tandle Posted May 20, 2022 Posted May 20, 2022 i remember now i was stood at a bus stop in manchester in the 1970s when a large american car passed by, and printed on the side was champion jack dupree. he was a amerian blues musician who lived in ovenden halifax. he was married to a halifax girl called shirley ann harrison. they divorced in 1976 and he died in hanover germany in 1992 he was aged 81. i wonder if tyler dupree is related or anybody in yorkshire remembers him.

Hard to believe, but stranger things have happened in Halifax. Tyler Dupree has a look (and similar tackling ability) to Jason Temu, ex Oldham assassin. Could he have been in Halifax at a significant time? I think we should be told.
StockportRoughyed Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 I did see Tyler Dupree quoted as saying that his uncle played in the NFL (top American Football League) and he is from Halifax, so it does seem likely.
tandle Posted May 24, 2022 Author Posted May 24, 2022 hi stockport just been on wikipedia does not mention him playing in the nfl. but he got the name champion from his days as a boxer.
Dogs Bawls Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 I remember Champion Jack Dupree from a tv program many years ago, he was living in Halifax then I remembered the name when Tyler played a few games for Batley Tyler confirmed he was raised in Halifax and is the grandson of Jack who unfortunately died before Tyler was born
