In 1986 Backhill, an Italian community magazine said that ex wrestler Tony Manzi was running a gym in Mount Pleasant, Islington, and was the masseur and osteopath for the Coach and Horses F.C., also in Islington.
Thanks gents. What I was thinking, is obviously not possible.
I have (HAD) a cousin born Tony Robson in London, who married into the Manzi family.. He is/was roughly the same age as me. We lost touch many years ago, but there was something in the photo and with the name , I just wondered.
Hi Bernard , I have checked the name and it is a real name and there were three or four people of that name in the country. Seemingly all Londoners. That does not stop another person using the name as an alias though , but I am tempted to edge towards it being his real name.
If you believe the bills then lived at Littlehampton , but not born there. Then moves to London , was he moving back , (that's where they all seem to be born)
Accredited with being light heavy , a Judo expert and an ex PO.
Also likely to be of genuine Italian descent.
Of the candidates there is one born in 1918 who was not born here and very clear his father Luigi was Italian. Dad and son were hairdressers. Pure guesswork though.
Any particular reason why you ask about this guy Bernard.

Thanks Ost , great as always. I also have an earlier bill that almost smells of a first bout with all the fanfair.
