As a side note, the name of Tony Mancelli wrestling in the early 1930's surprised me. When I saw him wrestle Norman Walsh in the early 1950's , he must have been at least 15 years older than Walsh, but he didn't look like it or move like it.
Always love seeing items from the Ring, thanks MM!
A fantastic find and the use of the same wrestler could be expected.
There was a guy called Jumbo Giles who Oakeley sometimes billed as Gilo Goliath.
the 1930's is a real box of tricks.
One could say that all those tricks have been copied ever since.
And the Front Cover from above Programme!!
