Jack Atherton was one of the best promoters and dealt with his wrestlers in a straightforward and honest work. He had a typical Lancashire sense of humour and was a very good friend of mine for many years. He used to show me wrestling moves on his office carpet - even in his seventies and he was strong, firm and accurate. His nickname came on account of his strength and balance - it was hard to shift him off his feet and as a wrestler it had been very hard to defeat him. Eddie Rose
