I may be rather late with this, meaning that someone may have posted something similar already.
You will know that the gentleman concerned (actually Dave Magee) was mainly what might be called a "heel manager", with in ring experience.
You are likely to know that he moved in to clowning, mainly as an advance publicity clown for one particular circus. It is far more through clowning that I met him.
News has only just reached us within the British clowning community that Dave passed away a while back, which grieves those of us who knew him. Unfortunately we don't know the cause, nor exactly when he left us, nor how old he was at the time.
If anybody does have relevant details, I, for one, would like to know.
Thanks.
For some reason, when I checked one of my old wrestling address books, I had Charles Mc.Gee listed under "Dave Devine". Probably one of his many aliases. I knew him through his friendship with Kevin Cawley and, indeed, as I recently mentioned inappropriately on totally the wrong thread, my first dismal attempt at presenting myself as a wrestler was in a tag match with Eddie Rose against the team of Cawley (in bonnet) and Mc.Gee as Charley the Gent at The Civic Hall, Bollington. I later put Charley on against Al Miquet at the Dixon Arms in Chelford. The last time I saw him was in his clown regalia in Manchester's Arndale Centre giving out flyers for a circus.
This reminds me of the story of the two slapstick circus clowns, Mickey and Molly, who married and started a family. Everything was happy initially but they both had affairs and got divorced. It was a messy divorce as they fought for custardy of the children.
