A 100 year old British man told on Wednesday how he fought off a gang of teenage muggers using "kung fu".
After a night at the pub, Buster Martin began to head home. On his way home Buster Martin showed that, even at 100, he still knew how to handle himself when he was confronted by the teenagers after a night at the pub.
Whether it was the alcohol or nerves of steel, the World War II veteran (Buster joined the Grenadiers during WWII and fought in Burma, Belgium and France) scared his three attackers so much they fled empty-handed.
Mr Martin was interviewed by police yesterday about the incident in Denmark Hill, South London, last Thursday night.
Mr Martin, a car washer-mechanic for a plumbing firm, said: 'They just came at me and pushed me against a wall and tried to take my money from me.
'Then they pushed me on the floor and I went mad. I was lashing out on the floor and then I stood up and was kicking them all.
'I pushed one and kung fu kicked the other one between the legs and he let out a scream. They ran off scared after I did that and I still had all my money.'

This guys is my hero =)

When I skimmed the article I assumed it said retired but when I read it again I saw he is still working!
Mind you if it was left to the Government all 100+ year olds would still be working.

I only respect this guy because it was in South London.
He doesn't look 100 at all.
Did anyone think of the fire risk as he was blowing out those candles either?

Retired at 97? Blimey, good to see he's not going to get pushed around by some stupid kids.
