I came along to St James’ a few years after Bernard and do remember the Cadmans; Alf was a regular there for many years and I was to see him on one of my early visits in 1963 and many times after that. Alf was totally uncompromising in the ring and he could wrestle anywhere on the bill and give good value. I first saw Ken Cadman on television and then saw him quite regularly at Newcastle but always in partnership with Alf and quite often against the Royals. They were often on the losing side, usually via disqualification but always made their opponents look good.
I also saw John Foley quite often around this time either as a solo performer or in tag with Abe Ginsberg as The (original) Black Diamonds before Eric Cutler took his place. One thing that John was noted for was that he often took his father with him to his matches and he was certainly well known especially by the Lancashire wrestlers.
