Both Broughton Rangers topping the bill; but what peculiar billing for the Irish-Oriental: 8 others on the bill who were actually from Great Britian.

Jack Larouche appears to have been on tour around Europe in 1951, and doesn't seem to have been here before or since.
Pierre Chapelle when billed was rather like Andreas Swajik for variations of his name. Pedro La Chapelle, Pietro Capello .............
Thanks Ian.
Hi Hack, the bill for Burton was 1964. Chappli startted arround that time.Also it was a time Kramer was once again back with Joints.I believe the promoter was Jack Atherton & hash been for years.
Regards to all on the site Ian P.
Some interesting additions there Ron and Main Mask.
Hessle and Marino over twenty rounds! I wonder how many they actually did? And it's still always a bit of a surprise to see McManus at the bottom of the bill as we see in 1954 Newcastle, I was wondering about Jack LaRouche, He seemt to have been a genuine Canadian. Anyone know more?
I wonder, do you have a year and promoter for the Burton on Trent programme MM? If you do I might, just might, come a bit closer to forgiving you for putting together the word's Big Daddy and Hack's favourite.
