A December 1963 TV Times article gives the background to a match between Lancashire's Billy Joyce and Yorkshires Ernest Baldwin.We are told after a previous meeting between the two Baldwin was put out of wrestling for several months.Do any of the members of this forum remember any of their matches.?Did the matches reach the intensity described in the article

This was Baldwins very last TV appearance as a wrestler.Despite the TV Times build up the match was versus Francis Sullivan according to the ITV Wrestling website
Ernie was out of action for a long time with a broken leg. Looks like this would be the very end of his career, maybe there was some planned hype. For him to retire due to injury (rather than the visible old age).
Thanks Ha-ck.
Before my time I'm afraid Peter, Maybe Anglo-Italian remembers.
