This is a bit of a long shot. Will need an independent fan, but we do have a few around.
In the second half of the 1960s I watched a wrestler called Duncan McRobert. I saw him at least twice, and if memory is correct one of the times was against Hayestacks Ed Bright.
So my recollection of Duncan McRobert was a leotarded heavyweight. Then a few years back Eddie Rose said no, that Duncan McRobert only weighed around 12 stones. I was surprised to say the least, but Eddie knows best so I thought I must have been mistaken, or that the dastardly indie promoter had slipped in a different Duncan in the way those indies did on occasions. To add to the confusion I've also seen advertsied a Duncan Roberts who was said to be a bantamweight or flyweight! He must be someone different again.
So I'm left with a 12 stone Duncan McRoberts and a heavyweight figment of my imagination.
Until Ron added the Nantwich album.Look who's cropped up here. All 20 stones of him.
So does anyone know of Duncan McRobert? How big was he?
Thanks Ron. Wow, this makes Pete Lapaque's career length almost 40 years.
If he started in 1958 (unless anything earlier crops up at some point), and he was wrestling in 1996, that is pretty good going. I would guess he was a real youngster when he started, say 16-18 years of age?, which pushes him towards his mid 50's when he was winding down.
