I always arrived about an hour to an hour and a quarter early to see the wrestlers come in.I found it fascinating to see them as they really are.To me it was an integral part of the evenings entertainment.Although not an avid autograph collector I did enjoy chatting to the wrestlers who were prepared to engage. Early to mid seventies great iconic days in wrestling.

In 1971 I once met Jackie Pallo and Mike Marino in the Winter Gardens Cafe, Morecambe prior to an event. I'd come on the train straight from sitting my accountancy exams at Preston and they both signed my study notes, Jackie said I was bound to pass now!
Earlier in 1964 or 1965 I met Mike Bennett walking towards Preston Queens Hall on his way to a televised bout with Eric Sands.
