EARLY RINGSPORT MAGAZINES!!

Did notice 2/77 at the top but because I regarded both Jack Taylors as back in the distant past did not realize either would be front page material 1977 unless of course it was a historical article. Did either Jack Taylor appear on TV in the professional era?

The copies were dated Peter. For example, this one was April 1970. The system had changed by the Jack Taylor one, which was February 1977. I'm amazed Jack was still touting himself as triple champion by 1977.

Would have made this great publication even better if copies were dated with the month and year

wow, amazing material as always, thanks for posting, much appreciated.

Alan Wood Northern Counties Welterweight Champion. Was that title contrived for this article?

Some later ones, including Wrestlesport. There were also a couple of issues of Skill magazine that Evan put out. Wrestling plus other sports.

I have a bunch of these so grabbed some at random. Turned up a few interesting pictures:

Bigger format by 1966. Also found this "National Edition".

This picture would be a very effective promotion tool

Described as priceless which in some ways has proved prophetic.

Here's one from 1960. Still free in those days. The price of 2d was introduced in 1962.

This publication helped the credibility of Professional Wrestling by putting it on an equal footing with Professional Boxing at the height of the "Golden Era"
