I'm going to start by saying coincidence/fate/serendipity is a strange thing. Before reading Saxonwolf's upload about Shozo's sad passing i had been planning on uploading the items below for this very day for the past fortnight. I was sonly 3 years old when Shozo toured Britain back in 1968/69 but growing up i read about him and his achievements. For Anglo to state Shozo's importance to wrestling was even greater than that of Antonio Inoki says everything. The following article was taken from the January 11th edition of the TVTimes. RIP Shozo Kobayashi.

Taken from " The Wrestler" December 1968.
A further 2 items from the March 1969 copy of "The Wrestler."
Thanks Alan.
But blimey with all those wrestlers who stayed there I'd always imagined a much grander Relwyskow household.
You're all most welcome Anglo, and great work from Saxonwolf uploading the photograph of Relwyskow house in Leeds.
Thanks Alan.
Got to love the way the Yorkshire promoter sees anywhere south of Nottingham as "London".
Here is the Relwyskow house in Leeds, mentioned in the article.
Great stuff as always, thanks for sharing.
