Terry Downs - The Pride of South Manchester

Terry was one of the nicest lads you coild hope to meet.I knew him well, living a few hundred yards away from his Fallowfield (Manchester) home and adjacent to the old Main Road football stadium (Manchester City before the move to the Etihad). He sometimes trained at my gym and was quite a gymnast. He is perhaps best remembered for a series of bouts with another Mancunian, Colin Joynson; a fierce rivalry that one. I also remember Terry for some seriously good nights out together in Manchester City Centre where we often bumped into visiting wrestlers. I first met Prince Kumali on such an occasion for example.. Good days (and nights) Terry. Not forgotten. Eddie Rose.
