Anyone got any thoughts on Irish heavy weight, teacher, writer Sean Regan ? Sounds like he had an interesting career and life. International wrestler that settled in South Africa, big matches in Europe, Canada, the States, including world title matches. Memories from here and abroad anyone ?

Took to wearing a mask so that his identity as a Deputy Headmaster would not be revealed
Here is Sean Regan's life story, from his own website.

Regan visit vienna the first time in 67. It was a great success for him. He finished the tournament at the 2nd place right after the winner John "Rasputin" Campbell. He come back to vienna in 68, 71 and 72. Then he wrestled
a few years in LInz for Eugen Wiesberger as Irish Mask. 1982 Wiesberger was part of the promotor team in vienna so he want to bring the gimmick to the heumarkt. Unfortunatly Regan didnt had time so it was Dave Taylor who played the character.
I remember Regan defeating Don Mendoza the first time I saw him on TV. 1963, I think.
A short time after this he appeared on Hughie Green’s Double Your Money, demonstrating a body slam move on Hughie.
