Sometimes what we hope will prove an interesting story doesn't materialise.
Those of us of that age remember Quasimodo. Who couldn't? He was one of a kind.
He goes back to the birth of Heritage In 1968, when the internet wasn't even a twinkling in anyone's eye, we had our first two articles published simultaneously, Lord Bertie Topham and Quasimodo.
Most telling for me is that he appeared on Paul Lincoln bills. Then I uncovered this 1960 Paul Lincoln Programme from 1960.
Game over.
There's no doubting that face.
What I had hoped would be a mystery to solve is no more. The genuine Quasimodo brought to Britain by the independents at the beginning of 1960.
Grabbed by Joint Promotions in January, 1962.
Share your memories of Quasimodo.
Posted that Quasimodo match to several peoples' FB walls after the recent Notre Dame fire.
