Death of Syd Ingleson
Okay, not the biggest name in wrestling, but definitely one worth reading about. “The Adonis of the North” Syd Ingleson was born in Hull and moved to Bradford whilst a child. He was Principal of the Sydenham Physical Culture Club in Bradford and mostly celebrated for his success as a physical culturalist. That success reached a climax with winning the 1933 Mr Britain competition outright. In 1934 he began wrestling professionally, mostly around northern England against the likes of Fred Unwin, Les Stent and Jack Alker. We have found matches between 1934 and 1938.
Sydney Ingleson, born 16th October, 1900, died 2nd September, 1954.
Grim. Marino thought putting himself top would draw the crowds.
With FOUR preliminary bouts.
Deep down, he knew Nagasaki could always fill Croydon at that time.
So he was probably spot on and made money.
I wonder how he handled Nagasaki pay-wise?
