Boxing out of Edinburgh’s Cotter’s Gymnasium, Pat Fee attracted attention as a promising youngster in 1902, and the following year reached the semi-final of the Scottish Featherweight Championship. In 1904, he captured the title. Fee stepped up to lightweight in 1906, and in 1907 was crowned both the Scottish Amateur and Eastern & Midland Division champion at that weight. Fee failed to regain his national title in 1908 when beaten in the semi-final by George Wallace, but did, however, hold on to his district title. After gaining Olympic selection in 1908, Fee went on to win his third Scottish national title in 1910 when he defeated the defending lightweight champion James Stevenson in the final. During World War I, Fee served as a lance-corporal with the 11th Battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, serving in France. After the war, he continued boxing and was still fighting in the mid-1920s, more than 20 years after making his début. In 1925, he became a trainer at his old gymnasium, Cotter’s.
