Fascinating 1939 FREE TRADE HALL-MANCHESTER Programme here Boys from My 1930's
Archives!!!
An ATHOLL OAKELEY Promotion at the Above Venue-Renowned by the way for its Rock Hard
Ring Floor!!
We're on FEBRUARY 10th!-Now Interestingly KATHLEEN LOOK was STILL Operating at
BELLE VUE at This Time too!!
Within This Programme-We Have The NEXT Show on The 24TH Advised-It's THIS Show
with which We are Concerned here!
Now you will see from My Original Programme Below JACK SHERRY is Defending his WORLD
HEAVYWEIGHT Title against.......GOLIATH!!-and This GOLIATH is Billed at 7' 2" Tall!!
But also on The SAME Bill We see THE GHOUL-ALSO Billed at 7'2" in Height!!
Just HOW MANY 7' 2" Wrestlers were Around at This Time AT ALL???
Now Then Do We have here THE GHOUL Wrestling TWICE on The SAME Night???-Firstly
WITHOUT a MASK as GOLIATH??-Then Later in The Show as The MASKED GHOUL???
First On and Last On!!
Is This GOLIATH the Man in the Photo Below-brought in by OAKELEY??
WHO is GOLIATH??-The Weight Difference of the Two Only Differs by Half a Stone???
To put him in with SHERRY-when he's an 'Unknown' is a Bold Move Indeed?!
Did GOLIATH ALSO Wear a HOOD???
Can RON find ANY Other Trace of him??-I can't at This Point!
More Mysteries!!
The Thick Plottens!!
And Just as a 'Cameo' We find ATHOLL OAKELEY Wrestling in his OWN Promotion at
39 Years of Age!!
I Like The Referee-He's a BOSUN!!

Just a quick note to say that I have found our old mate, Carver Doone, spending a huge chunk of 1936 (June to December), wrestling in Argentina and Brazil, with a troupe of wrestlers, headed up/managed by Stanislaus Zbyszko.
