A Ted Beresford bill with Norman Walsh and John Allan making an interesting and believable championship match. O'Donnell and Penzekoff in tag, with Ivan the subject of our latest tribute coming this weekend.

On our TV screens, on this day in 1970:-

On our TV screens, on this day back in 1961: -
Johnny Allen v Kurt Stein
Dean Stockton v Seamus Donlevy
Jackie Pallo v Johnny Foley
