Sorry Hack, posted on wrong thread. should have been with my original query on the Spalding thread.
Erm, not quite sure what you're asking Bernard.
The A-Z lists Rocco Columbo, and the link takes you to him.
The only mention we can see for Pedro Columbo is in the Chief White Cloud entry.
Maybe we are missing something.
I know that the A-Z says "Pedro Columbo" but he isn't in the A-Z so who?

This may be the first Time the two Billy's met at Belle Vue with many to come. No idea if it would have filled the hall at that stage. When I first went to Belle Vue many of the locals talked of Billy Robinsons ability and their pride in the local boy. Would have thought Billy Robbo was not box office at this stage but crowds were good in 1960.
Alan Garfiield thrown in as well.
