Just read the article about Tony Ancell, back in the late 1950s before National Service I used to go to the Atlas cinema in Stetchford Birmingham to watch wrestling, one of the regulars billed there was a wrestler billed as Tony (Ropetrick) Ancell !! now would this be the same wrestler as in todays article ? His speciality was getting his opponent in a headlock near the ropes and flicking his feet onto the top rope, then somehow twisting his opponent over onto the canvas, to us spectators it was a very spectacular move. Brilliant days of proper wrestling.
