It is many years ago now, but Mick and I were great friends. He was the first wrestler to befriend me when <i took it up under Jack Taylor. If you read my Profile, you will see that when Mick gave up due to a serious back injury, I replaced him in several bouts, because we looked very much alike. He was not only a brilliant wrestler, but also a lovely human being, with a fantastic sense of humour. I am saddened by his death, and shall never forget him. My condolences go to his family and close friends. R.I.P. Mick. You are in my memories.

Although I only met Mick once I was very sad when his son got in touch to say his father had died suddenly. He was a very friendly man and through the years has kept in touch with Heritage, always answering our questions about the Jack Taylor lads. Condolences to all the family.
Very sad news.
R.I.P. Mick.
RIP
