Great to see a feature on Alan, a supremely talented wrestler who was never a real fan favourite, no gimmick,no flamboyance just very good wrestling. Personally along with Ballymoss, Bernard and myself amongst others we were great admirers of Alan's ringcraft. It was quality over quantity with Alan, at times he looked like hadn't broke sweat he was so comfortable in the ring. His style meant he could work so often and have such a long in ring career, even when he hung up his boots he was still in the ring as a very competent referee. I wondered if Alan passed on his knowledge and skill to the following generation of wrestlers it would be good to know?

I find it surprising that as a former British Heavyweight Champ no one on this forum seems to have any contact with Ray Steele. He would be able to confirm one way or another
Alan Colbeck was one of the best, a tough no nonsense wrestler.
Dear Friends,
does anyone have a good quality image of this belt?
I admired Alan, too. He was a great wrestler, and a quiet chap, but very friendly. He kept the fans quiet by showing his skills in the ring.
Apparently the father in law of Ray Steele therefore the answer is probably yes.It would also be interesting to know if he is still with us
