Maybe this will be of interest to Ruslan and others. A small article on the early days of Amateur, Olympic, and Catch-As-Catch-Can Wrestling in Bolton.
Great article thanks for sharing, yes researched them all, the 1920's amateur wrestling in Lancashire and its major stars. Those North Counties Belts wrestlers are wearing on the pics were the most prestigious trophies of that era, Harry Pennington, Joe Ried, Jim Crompton and etc. all had those beautiful belts.
