We heard from one of our most valued and reliable members this morning that Sam Betts, forever Dwight J Ingleburgh, died last night. He was hesitant to make the announcement without further confirmation as it seemed so unbelievable despite Sam's age. Sadly, it has now been confirmed and Brian Betts (yes these wrestlers always surprise, his name was Brian) has died, aged 90. R.I.P. Dwight
Sam loved his allotment and was still gardening upto last year.

RIP dear Sam iv left this late because it's hard to believe he was always there,a consumate professional remained fiercely his own man.Jack Atherton said of him he's a diamond and jack and wryton courted him to the joint ranks to no avail. His family so proud of him and rightly so he had it all skill personality integrity and work ethic
