Thanks Peter, Hack.

Clearly his tag partner doesn't read this thread ... he would surely know.

I have happily included Johnny South now.

Ray Fury [Ron Wiltshire]

South was certainly around in 1969. I would have expected us to hear if anything had happened to him.

There are two criteria, Peter:

- he wrestled in the sixties.

- he is still alive.

Does Johnny South qualify?

Why is Johnny South in limbo?

Retrospectively Jackie Robinson should have had a place on this list

Should Johnny South be included?
