Cheers Anglo, much appreciated. Interesting that Baldwin said he wanted to be a policemen but was considered too small at 5' 8." These days I don't think that there's the same height restriction for the boys in blue as there used to be. In the past some forces height requirement was 5' 10" others 6."
@ruslan-pashayev Sorry Ruslan i don't appear to have any pictures of that belt in my collection. If i'm wrong and i discover i have, i'll post it later.
More Ernest Baldwin. February 1970 edition of "The Wrestler."
It's such an unusual claim, though perfectly reasonable, that I would suspect it was true.
If you wanted to be fanciful and dream something up --- well, you'd dream of something else, wouldn't you?

Deffo Bull Davis, Alan. His opponent has the shoulders of Wayne Bridges about him, but doubtful he'd have been up in Baldwin land at that time.
Maybe those photos are from the two Wednesday matches mentioned?
thanks for sharing appreciate!!! amazing material, as always! by any chance do you have any pic of Baldwin with his championship belt from the 50s?
