The death of Angelo Dundee marks a sad day for the worlds of boxing and sport in general.

The Philadelphia-born 90-year-old was the man in the corner helping Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and George Foreman on their paths to greatness.

His most famous moment came with Leonard, when he shouted "You're blowing it son! You're blowing it!" at his man at the end of his 13th round against Thomas Hearns. Leonard picked himself up and flattened Hearns in the very next round.

Dundee's death inspires our look at some of the other great coaches the world of sport has known.

Of course, he would not be the first sporting offspring to emulate
