Gary Marsh was a one time second for Devereux Promotions at Wimbledon Palais. He began a short lived wrestling career in 1966, working for Devereux and Dale Martin Promotions. Opponents included the likes of Chris Bailey, Leon Fortuna and Ray McGuire. Gary disappeared from our sights towards the end of 1969.
It sounds like he was a second who managed to get in on the act. He must have had some skills and Bailey, followed by a few others, trusted him enough to build up a storyline.
We never discuss the seconds on here. This looks like a rare situation where the role was built up and while we are only reading details on bills, doesn't it just look like they had a great thing going?
Great to see Chris Bailey going top of the bill in his feud with Garry Marsh. Sounds like they built is up well.
Noticeable by absence are Steve Logan and Jackie Pallo.
It looks like Ken Joyce was the matchmaker, billing himself as European Welterweight champion - so of course not a trace of Colbeck on these bills either.
Ok,Thanks for the info

Thanks Anglo,
What I can remember it was quite entertaining the build up.
