Sorry folks, I'm back on this man again.
I have re-read Norman's write up in the A-Z a few times. I just noticed that most of the other wrestlers have their date of death at the end of the tribute. He doesn't.
Do we have a D. O. D. for Norman please?
That's interesting, isn't it? Empire title not World as in previous photo.
Mind you the promoters could have said anything in those days. News travels faster and easier now.
This looks like the same belt Ruslan, in South Africa.
Dear The Main Mask could you please check in your collection whether there is a pic of Walsh with his South African belt in there? My interest is in a good quality pic of the belt. Thanks in advance. R
Convinced that early death in 1978 is right. reading the A-Z Norman had a pub out near Thirsk , so not only does the death have his date of birth recorded , but also place of death is right. No mention in any papers I have access to of any reports on this.
Hi Ron. I don't know. Sorry I can't help you. I only saw him once after I came out of the RAF and moved to Welwyn Garden city. We lost touch.
Bernard , does 1978 seem right to you. It looks pretty clear that this was him.
Sorry Hack, I don't know enough about Norman either side of my brief friendship with him.
It looks as if there is enough detail and photos on the three threads on the right to make a good write up.
We need more information on his car crash and cessation to do him justice.
I have not got the exact date Bernard , but Norman's death was registered in the 1st three months of 1978 in Thirsk district. This entry matches his date of birth.
Sorry Bernard I can't help you with that. I do have a date of birth 14th February, 1920.
Isn't it time he had a full page tribute? Get your thinking cap on Bernard.
