Today would have been the birthday of Heritage favourite and heavyweight champion Gerry Hoggarth, born in 1922.
Thanks Saxonwolf for a VERY significant 1965 televised victory for Georges over Tibor.
This tells us a great deal.
We have a huge three-for-the-price-of one today, for our local lads wrestling overseas, with Barry Douglas, Johnny Eagles and Colin Joynson in triple tag action beating Testsunosuke Daigo, Masao Kimura and Tadaharu Tanaka, in Karatsu, Japan, on this day back in 1968.
On our TV screens, on this day back in 1965: -
Linde Caulder (1) v Braulio Veliz (0)
George Gordienko (2) v Tibor Szakacs (1)
Clayton Thomson (KO) v Bruno Asquini
On our by disqualification
Those two bills from Main Mask and Big Al would be worth every penny to see, in my opinion.
It's a "Knockout " At the Royal Albert Hall in 1968.
