If like me your Live Wrestling Experiences started in the mid '60's-it's easy to think of and remember Great Wrestlers as they appeared and looked THEN!!
But by 1966-some of these Guys had started over 15!! Years before and were well into their Wrestling Careers!
One such and one of my own Favourites was ALAN COLBECK-the WELTERWEIGHT KING
who had also been BRITISH LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION in the Beginning!
We have him Defending the latter BELT against JOHNNY STEAD-a Wrestler watched Live
by BERNARD- on TUESDAY 29TH AUGUST 1950 at the ROLLERHOME SKATING RINK
in WAKEFIELD!- And then he looked quite a bit different as to my first sighting of him many
years later!It's easy to forget They were Young once with many Wrestlers starting at the age
of 16!-Photos to follow!
