Harry Holland: A Man of Many Parts

Product Information

You have destroyed this family centre and with it, its happiness and it's not at all clear that at least for some of the family members, that it will ever repair,” said the judge. Another former world champion at the Hall of Fame was welter John H. Stracey – who was also celebrating his 69 th birthday.

In 1909, Holland was convicted of sedition, having advocated violent revolution against capitalism during the miners' strike at Broken Hill. He was jailed for two years. He received little sympathy from the socialist movement, which considered his actions during the strike to be provocation and posturing. This embittered Holland considerably, and he suffered from serious depression. His depression combined with chronic overwork led to his health breaking down by 1911. [3] If I’d have been boxing today, I’d get a lot more money. We got peanuts in them days. You see people now getting all this money, and I don’t think some of these fighters are worth that much. Another thing is I think they should stop the crowd drinking, because that brings aggression. After they’ve seen a fight, they think they’re boxers and I’ve seen fights in the crowd at boxing. I’ve seen them standing up in the aisle pissed, and it’s not right.” When discussing his family, Holland hums with evident pride. But he is also clear-eyed about the costs of Tom’s celebrity. Being Spider-Man, though, comes with a blistering level of scrutiny. Tom has revealed that the unflagging press circuit burnt him out, causing him to vomit off-stage and sparking rumours of a quarter-life retirement from acting. It’s an admission that chimes with a moment in Eclipsed when Holland describes how hard he found it to watch his son perform the intensely physical “angry dance” in Billy Elliot. Betty (II) | Blue | Boots | Bronson | Chips | Chops | Corky | Craig | Crush | Crystal | Dalgliesh | Dave | Eric Holland came to personally personify the Labour Party in a way that his predecessors did not due to his superb oratory on public platforms where he could draw large crowds. He built up a core following among his caucus consisting of Michael Joseph Savage, Peter Fraser, Bob Semple and later Walter Nash. All were to become not only loyal lieutenants to Holland during his tenure, but the most influential members of the First Labour Government following Holland's death. [23] Mind you, Kirkland Laing was that talented, and I loved him. After the fight, we ended up having a shower at the same time. I just happened to look down and I said ‘Bloody hell!’ He had a willy down to there! I couldn’t believe it! I said ‘What’s that, Laing?’ He said ‘That’s me wood, man. That’s me wood.’ Kirkland Laing was a funny guy.” I was terrified watching that film. Playing Spider-Man, you’re very much in the crosshairs, and there was an awful lot of hate when he was announced. The pressure was immense. But I saw it and thought: ‘Bloody hell, Tom, you’re Peter Parker.’” He was ready, he says, to confront his son with the brute facts of stardom. “I told him at every juncture: ‘This won’t continue, it happens to other families.’ I always thought it was a great journey, but I told him it would end.”

We’re talking because on June 19 Holland Snr is releasing an audiobook of his memoir Eclipsed, read by father and son. It’s a warm, wry account of seeing his own entertainment career effortlessly outstripped by his progeny – starting with the moment when, aged 10, Tom was talent spotted to play Billy Elliot in the 2005 musical adaptation. In 1887, Holland left Queanbeyan to work in Sydney. Shortly afterwards, on 6 October 1888, he married Annie McLachlan, whom he had met at a Salvation Army meeting. [1] The two were to have five sons and three daughters. In 1890, however, Holland found himself unemployed, putting the family in a poor financial position. Holland left the Salvation Army at this point, believing that its response to poverty was inadequate. He remained, however, quite strongly religious. Gradually, his political views became attuned to socialism, although this was probably more an emotional decision than a theoretical one — Holland was deeply dedicated to the elimination of poverty, but had little use for complicated economic models. Despite leaving the Salvation Army, he retained (according to his biographer) a 'sect mentality'; a sense of personal mission, scorn of moderation, impatience with piecemeal reform and a sense of undeviating righteousness.

Johns dad, Harry Holland, was inducted in the hall of fame for boxing in 2019, and has now cornered an amateur champion in every decade since the 1960s, after taking charge of Rutherford's corner in the final. Initially, in Parliament Holland was not a particularly strong performer. His aggressive oratory, while suitable for speeches, tended to oversimplify issues, and Holland was frequently criticised in Parliamentary debates as an impractical ideologue. Holland's opponents successfully characterised him as applying simplistic doctrines to complicated issues, and of failing to look at a problem from all sides. Holland spoke in support of the Bolshevik revolution and a failed German socialist revolution as well as denouncing the secret diplomacy that formulated the treaties following the war. Newspapers were highly critical of Holland and his stance, labelling him as both pro-German and pro-Bolshevik. [20] This put him at odds with his colleagues who were more doubtful of the revolutions overseas. [21] Party leader [ edit ] Holland was an avid reader in his adult life due to his short time of schooling in his youth. In the South Island mining town of Seddonville, within Holland's Buller electorate, the H. E. Holland Public Library was named in his honour in 1929 after he spearheaded the campaign to rebuild it after it was destroyed by flooding. [36] [37] See also [ edit ]I had my first bout when I was 11 years old. I fought a boy called Paul Kettle from Kingston at Battersea Town Hall. I only went to watch, but I was carded by then and there was a boy called Steve Tennant and I borrowed his shorts and vest. Anyway, I won on points. By the time I got to 13 or 14, all of a sudden it just fell into place. I can’t remember how many amateur fights I had altogether, but I think I had about 40. I boxed in the Schoolboys and I was Middlesex Champion four years on the trot, from 1971 to 1975.” Hislop, J. (1915). The General Election, 1914. National Library. pp.1–33 . Retrieved 1 August 2013. As the Depression worsened, Holland began to doubt some of his convictions. At first, Holland had believed that the Depression marked the beginning of the end for capitalism, but as the economic problems continued, and many workers were cast into poverty, Holland began to question whether his theories were capable of solving the crisis. He became instead increasingly interested in credit theory as a possible solution. [32] Suffering from depression, exhaustion, and ill health, Holland began to withdraw from the activities of leadership. Talk of a possible challenge to his leadership appeared, but there was not yet any willingness for an open confrontation. [33] Death [ edit ] Harry Holland's memorial in Wellington Holland was born at Ginninderra, now in the northern suburbs of Canberra. Initially, he worked on his parents' farm, but later was apprenticed as a compositor for the Queanbeyan Times in nearby Queanbeyan. Holland did not receive an extensive education, but developed an enthusiasm for reading. He also became highly religious, joining the Salvation Army. [1] The judge warned him that even if he is released, “you will for the remainder of your life be liable to be recalled to prison if you do not comply with the terms of your license”.
