For anyone's interest of course, and anyone might be able to add something, but I've posted this particularly for Anglo Italian.
I might have got this completely wrong and be confused, it wouldn't be the first time. But I have a recollection of Albert Wall once denying to Anglo Italian that he had ever been European heavyweight champion. Here's the night he won the title.
Even if I'm wrong four title matches on one bill will give something to comment on.
For me it was a double blow. I think by then Albert had a dodgy knee and had been squeezed a bit by Crabtree. He headbutted Shirley and was in the process of picking him up for the finishing slam and press and (Kayfabe , I think) hurt his back so Shirley won. This was Bell Vue. Don't think i saw him in a decent match after that and never saw him working with Dixon. I did not even know who Dixon was in those days. Albert had a great look and I almost always did Belle Vue when he was on.
