Brought up in Crossflatts during the First World War, Vear lived in Keighley all his adult life.

Other sporting activities outside boxing

Following his boxing career, Vear was involved with his local association football club, Keighley Town.[1]

The club was subsequently reformed in 1981 by ex-Wales and Bradford City footballer Trevor Hockey.[2]

Personal life

Vear worked as a store keeper in a Bakehouse and later in life as a shot blaster for a local firm in Keighley the "Rustless Iron Company Ltd" now known under the acronym Trico Vitreous Enamel, and moved to the nearby town of Bingley.[3]

In 2009, Christopher Dunn (illustrator)[4] staged an exhibition of his watercolours entitled "Bingley Secrets". One of his pieces was of boxer Vear sitting on top of Damart UK Headquarters factory chimney overlooking Bingley.[5]

In 2012, a 'Traditional Real Ale' public house was named after Vear in his home town of Keighley in Aireworth Street in honour of his achievements.[6] There is a Pint of real ale beer named after Vear aptly named "Percy’s Pint", which may be found and consumed on the premise. This beer is specially brewed by Empire Brewery in Huddersfield.[7]
