Mohammed Yakub, R.I.P.

More sad news received this morning of the death of Mohammed Yakub earlier today. You may recall we reported

that he had fallen a few weeks ago. He was 98 years old.

Good afternoon,

Hope you are all doing well.

It is with great sadness to inform that my grandfather (Mohammed Yakub Khan) passed away today morning at his residence, 25/02/24.

Funeral will be held today in the afternoon.

Thank you

Nushrat

It's a wonder he found time to sire 16 children. Such a shame he should pass due to a fall.

Clearly a great man.

Can't help noticing on the poster that only one of the ten wrestlers is presented as British. A record percentage?

Thanks Peter. Our tribute was also published in the Fiji Times. (No they didn't pay us. And no. we didn't pay them).
