Ron McKay s Diary: I m confident the day Muhammad Ali was serenaded by the Ladies Pipe Band of Coatbridge was a highlight of his life

He would have been 79 today. Muhammad Ali, formerly Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. Not just the greatest fighter bar none, but a ragingly bright political figure who, in giving and taking the punch and not just in the ring, did as much for his people as taking the knee. Perhaps more. He was the greatest person I nearly met. I was a boy when, as an amateur and light-heavyweight, he won an Olympic gold medal in Rome in 1960. Allegedly he threw the medal into the Ohio river after being refused service in a whites-only restaurant in Louisville, although that may be apocryphal.
