He was cetainly a friend of the Krays but I do not think you should take his autobio with anything less than a double pinch of salt. He did some work for Reggie Kray in his wrestling promotions and I believe once produced a knife to persuade the wrestlers to take a cut in their wages. The knife was taken from him by I believe Syed Shah and the facts of life fully explained. He also ran a club for dwarves described as 'bilious'.There's a bit about him in The Barmaid's Tale.
I don't think it was a case of Paul Lincoln bringing him over. He was here all the time working for some dubious men when he wasn't wrestling. He was from London. As Bill says, the book is a good read, though the stories are taller than Fuzzy Ball.

First date that I can pick him up. I take it this means that Paul Lincoln brought him over.
Think he did a couple of years here.
His book was worth a read
I saw them a few times.
The whole routine revolved around use of the bottom rope.
There was zero sense of a competitive match. Just a series of set routines.
Certainly a one-off wherever they appeared.
You wouldn't want a second helping after the initial curiosity had worn off.
I didn't even bother to try for autographs!
