A popular wrestler around for around a dozen years. Hardly mentioned on this forum or elsewhere. Any memories, and does anyone know what became of him. Is he still around? He deserves remembering.

It's always good to offer a source so we can try to verify information from a second (or third) point.
I can't find any verified bookings after 1971 in Ray's files or the BNA. Ray has one billing for 1973 but no result.
May 2, 1974.....powerlocks 1975 dont add up Bournemouth was always a thursday, 30 Sept a tuesday.
After searching the internet found the following:
Royal Albert Hall 15. Novemebr 1967 billed from Budapest
On Facebook vs. Ken Joyce
Please note that I'm not on Face Book so can't look up any of the details.
Cheers
The last bout I can find was at Bournemouth Winter Gardens on 30th Sept 1975 against Len Hurst
In 1965 he lived with Jackie Gaston at Penwern Road Earls Court.
No trace of either of them dying in England.
Electoral rolls confirm spelling Kalman Gaston.
My guess is that he moved on.
No marriage found here either , if they were indeed man and wife.
The last finds I could find were 1973. 1960 to 1973.
1975? He disappeared in 1970. Must have popped back for a bout or two out of nostalgia.
He seemed to be heading places at a time when McManus nurtured good-looking-boy opponents for himself and Pallo such as Mike Eagers and others. There was all that business about him resembling The Saint.
Sometimes spelt Calmen.
He too probably realised there was no long.term career in rolling over for portly Mick.
I couldn't find anything after 1975
Good question Hack I have wondered the same.
