A one fall encounter from “World Of Sport” has appeared on Youtube between Mark Rocco and Steve Veidor. Billed from September 1977, a young Mark Rocco, the newly crowned British Heavy Middleweight Champion appears facing his heavyweight opponent minus his usual moustache and wearing all yellow.
I can recall a World Of Sport contest featuring a Rocco .v. Jones encounter which didn’t appear on the Wrestling Channel where Rocco wore the same strip. A copy of this contest was up for auction on Ebay a number of years ago. The seller was asking £500!
Happy memories indeed. Th Picketts Lock Centre was my local, but is now no more, the old site was puled down and turned into a car par. In the land adjacent to where the old site was, they have now built a multiplex cinema and a new sports centre with a swimming pool, and is now called the Lea Valley Leisure Centre.
