Just like Roger Wells, Klondike Jake was billed to be far bigger than he really was. I reckon only 15 or 16 stones?
In the South he was billed as being from the north. I don't know where they billed him from when he wrestled in the north? I believe he was from Devon.
He really gave his all to his show and must have excited plenty of fans seeing that type of wrestler for the first time. His exaggerated scowls only barely concealed a great big grin!
A great shame, RIP.
