Programme 110!! I must have missed the first bus.
I didn't know then that Bob had taken over as chauffeur. Because I never really thought he lived anywhere near Mick. So not quite sure how that arrangement worked.
Wrestling overseas today, Dangerous Danny Lynch was in a losing effort to Reggie Parks, in Edmonton, Alberta Canada, on this day in 1969.
On our TV screens, on this day in 1964:-
Fu'Man'Chu (W) v Billy Graham
John Lees (1) v Gwynn Davies (2)
16 December 1947
George Kidd beat Tony Lawrence in the final of a tournament to win the Scottish lightweight title.
Talking of circuses, I'm also reminded of the male slapstick clown who divorced the female slapstick clown and it all got very unpleasant when they were fighting for custardy of the children.
I notice Ivan Penzekoff is billed as "The India Rubber Man". I recall the story of The Indian Rubber Man who was working for a touring circus and, each town they visited, he used his suppleness to do some housebreaking in the vicinity. Eventually he became over confident and was caught and had to appear before the judge who sent him down for a long stretch.
22 wrestlers on your West Bromwich programme, Main Mask. I bet you haven’t any other UK bill to top that.
Back to the outstanding 1938 programm at the top: did anyone else spot Sir Atholl calling himself PRODUCER. How weird.
And Sugar Ray Do Do specifically billed as the Mid-African Witchdoctor!
1975 again, because yesterday's was so well received 😛
Jim Demsey-a future champion?
Of the three I would have gone to Hamilton.
