Happy Birthday Arnold Ciplinski
That's Big Arnold from Ayr as he was known. A coal miner by day at night Arnold was one of the trainees at the Mossblown gym and pulled on a mask for Scottish independent promoters as The Outlaw. A powerful heavyweight, standing 6'1" tall and weighing 18 stones he was much bigger than the original Canadian masked man. Born on 15th July, 1941* Arnold still lives near the old gym and today celebrates his 80th birthday.

Death of Ray McGuire He's in the A-Z
Working overseas today (and probably enjoying a nice sunny break), Bert Royal drew with Kamikaze II in Barcelona, Spain, on this day in 1965.
On our TV screens, on this day in 1964: -
Roy St Clair v Alf Cadman
Mick McMichael v Johnny Eagles
Surely Arnold Ciplinski would be 100 years old today, not 80, if he was born in 1921?
