It is interesting how times chagbe. In the past 'bearded' always denoted a villain and I see Doug Joyce is described as shaven-headed. Clearly a wrong 'un.
Wrestling overseas today, two of our lads earning a few Deutsch Marks, Chick Knight defeated Grant “Black Panther” Foderingham in Berlin, Germany, on this day in 1953.
Magnificent Main Mask. We didn't get programmes of that quality in our day. I like the way the remarks for the Norman the Butcher fight prepare fans for the main event being a bit dull.
So, Bobby Burns was back in Britain in 1969.I wonder if he returned permanently or just back for a visit?
Would Bobby Burns have been Bobby Barnes? I also note that the Wensor and Riley families have evidently done a “house swap” according to the billing.....
