1974 match between Dick Conlon and Jackie Pallo jnr now on You Tube. The only one of his many TV fights at present on the net. He is not included in 60s greats still with us. Is that an oversight or because he is not still with us?

Although he was billed as Lightweight Champion of Spain at one stage
Yes, you need to look for Riccardo Conlon on his early appearances.
He features in Armchair Corner in The Haunting. I am surprised if that bout is no longer on the internet.
He was the most unthreatening of wrestlers. Leaving aside his Artful Dodger tag bouts, I can't think of any bout where he was in the main event. Most of the Fortunas and Caulders and Cappellis and so on rose to main event status when opposing a big name. Dick didn't. Is my impression.
A good call Peter , but he qualifies for 50's if he is still with us.
I think born Lewisham in 1934 and I think died in 2001.
The British Wrestlers reunion have him as "Dressing Room in The Sky" status.
