I knew him better as a referee at the Northern halls in 1960s where he was a strict disciplinarian.
Ron Johnson was a local boy for me at Newcastle. As Hack nearly said always billed from West Hartlepool.
Solid mid carder as someone said, but solid with little sparkle. Wrestling style reminds me in some ways as a heavier Alan Colbeck.
Ron was usually build from Hartlepool. The newspapers there considered him a local boy.
