With an excellent match between Mike Brooks and Johnny Peters(Thirsk) now available on You Tube I was intrigued for Brooks to be described as Middleweight Champion of South West Africa subsequently after independence from South Africa-Namibia.
He is certainly highly impressive in this 1975 match but is this claim about as sensible as describing Tony Costas as Middleweight champion of the Middle East.
Either way both he and Peters deserved far more TV matches but for both of them this seemed to be it as far as TV was concerned
One other aspect about this TV Times article is that the same edition had an article about the Beatles. Nevertheless the full page article about Mike Brooks is the very first article in the magazine on page one.Surely a tribute to both Brooks and the popularity of Professional Wrestling in 1963
