We had moved Jon Cortez and Bobby Barnes on to the 50s list a while back as they wrestled on BBC in 1954.

Ray Fury?? [Ron Wilshire]

Spike Robson is alive and living in Australia.

Mal Sanders?

Dwight J Ingelburgh is on both lists

Johhny South is still with us

Thanks Peter, Hack.

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

I have happily included Johnny South now.

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

Why is Johnny South in limbo?

I'm not aware of anything happening to them so look like valid additions to me.

We have a new one for the 1960s list. Nottingham's Peter Smith

He's a sprightly 84 year old and chuffed to see he's still remembered on Heritage. We should have more information soon.

Bert Royal is in both lists

That's done, Peter.

Jock Campbell has now been put in his own category until we have clarification.

Jock's death has still to be confirmed.

Now pinned to the start of the forum.

This list still includes the late Andy Robin

Sady, Dicky Swales now to come off on any update.

Now requiring updating

Fazal Allahi was missing from this list

Should Colin Bennett be on this list?

Joey and Mo below both now in.

I talked with Joey Scarlo at the reunion. When did he start? We were talking about Paul Lincoln shows, early 60's.

I believe Billy White Wolf (Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissy) is still alive and wrestled in the UK from 1969

Does anyone one know the last time Gori Ed Mangotich wrestled?

Think Bert Royal is the only one from 1940's still with us.

he used to wrestle at the Thornhill Ontario Canada farmers market in the 50s

In his Aril 1974 match with Bob Kirkwood Walton informs the fans that he turned Pro in 1969 and has a great future!

Did he wrestle in 1969? Would be good to identify his first bout.

John Carlo turned Pro in 1969. Is he still alive?

According to the commentary of his TV match versus Frank Dhondt Mitchell turned Pro in 1967

Ok, Mick Collins taken out; Bobby Ryan in. For Tony Borg, I'll await others' views.

I have inserted Syd Cooper. We know he's Norman but recently another Norman Cooper cropped up. Whether he is still alive I don't know. Any thoughts, anyone?

And to my horror I have noticed Paul Mitchell was missing. Surely a sixties wrestler? I'm going to pencil him in.

Mick Collins is now deceased and Bobby Ryan is still not listed

Well Peter, I believe I had updated it with all comments, but let me post it here again now and see what fresh comments come in:
