Every now and again we get a chance to open a window in time and glean a bit more about a wrestler.
On Heritage Gerry Hoggarth has been one of our greatest success stories , but today I have found a report that really opens up a picture for us of one of Gerry's finest hours as a showman. For me this is unexpected , but enjoy it folks. Hope William R is looking in.
Looks like Gerry stole the show from Jack Pye.
An interesting find Ron. Presumably it's the Burton in Cumbria. 1962 must be near the end for Gerry.
Look at the promoters. Triple Promotions. Queried many times before. Promoters in Morecambe, possibly Kirkland. Phil Kenyon suggested a Harry Strickland (Jock Campbell) link but we got nowhere. Strickland promoted with Lee Scott, but Lee said he'd never heard of Triple. One to get to the bottom of.
Goliath. Another mystery, but he's cropped up on Triple bills previously.
A rare appearance by C&W wrestler Tony Hayhurst. Tried lpro and didn't like it.
The Toff. Phil Kenyon told us it was Ian St John. So no surprise there.
Tommy Sands. No idea but he's cropped up around this area previously and on Triple.
