We start in Ilford, 1965, a Frank Price show.
I think we concluded Frank Price the wrestler was the son of Frank Price promoter. We found Frank Price promoting so long ago that this must have been a new generation. What we are not sure is if the 1960s Frank the promoter was the dad, or had young Frank the wrestler taken over. We have a couple of Frank Price customers of old, who might know. Not much known about Jerry DuPont. And Mick Scarlo?
1969 Croydon. Not much to interest me here. Should I have got excited about Tibor v Naggers.
Still in London. 1965
Carl Lindenburgh was mentioned in The Pictorial History of Wrestling. Not heard of since. Any ideas?

A nostalgic night in Manchester in 1950. A difficult choice for the keen fans to have two big shows on one night. Was it a battle of promoters Sam Cowen at Ardwick and Dick Rogers at Belle Vue. A little bit later and cheaper at the "Blood Tub"
