The Daughter of STEVE BEST has Recently Confirmed to Me That Sadly STEVE has Passed Away in
the Care Home where he has spent his Final Months!
STEVE BEST was a Schoolteacher who began his Professional Wrestling Career in the 1960's by
Fighting under a MASK as COLLEGE BOY!
He Worked his Way up after Discarding The HOOD and by 1970 he was Sharing Top Billing with Big
Stars of The Sport including MICK MCMANUS-See Original Programme for DUNSTABLE Below!!
Regular Tag Wrestling was to follow Teaming-Up with JOHNNY SAINT in The ELITES!
This Combination were Featured in a Televised Bout against the LONDON Hard Boy Team of
MICK MCMANUS and 'IRON MAN' STEVE LOGAN!
STEVE continued to Wrestle until Circa 1982!
His Contribution to The GOLDEN YEARS of Wrestling in This Country was Significant-Appearing
Several Times on WORLD OF SPORT!
His Tag Team Collaberation with SAINT Created a Strong Combo at LIGHTWEIGHT and also
WELTERWEIGHT!
So We have Lost Another Well-Known Wrestler who has gone to The Great Dressing Room in the
Sky!-He won't be Forgotten!
