Bristols/Little Levers Billy Howes was a superb wrestler but an enigma in so many ways,promoters even wondered which Billy would turn up.Any members have memories before his disappearance from the ring or on his return.

Incredible 1971 bill there, Main Mask. Royal and Street billed very mutedly.
They must have wrestled Nagasaki v Howes five nights a week that summer on the back of Catterick.
1950 is a gem, too and I remain astonished to see 10/6 way back then. Unchanged over decades. 10/6 started out dear and became cheap. They finally added a long overdue 20% after decimalisation as we can see at Southport.
