Some years ago (as "Beancounter") I posted that on 30th October 1967, Jack Pye was guest of honour at my local, The Hamilton Arms, Cabus, Garstang, where he shoved over this massive pile of pennies collected for local Cancer Relief. It was a fantastic night; Jack was excellent company and a true gentleman. Being a big fan, we had a lengthy conversation. He disagreed with me that Billy Joyce was the best current heavyweight, he said it was easily Bill Robinson - I didn't dare start an argument!
There was a tale going round at the time that some wag had remarked to Jack that wrestling moves were all "fixed". They say Jack handed him £100, a sizeable sum in those days, and prepared him for a boston crab, informing him that if he was still clutching the money after 10 seconds, he could keep it. I believe the money was released after just a couple of seconds!
