I thought the independents would come to our rescue, but I only came up with Bannister and Heaton. There must have been more. Still waiting blood tests on Mitzi. There must be more. We had loads of genuine Hungarians following 1956, not a lot of other genuine ónes. I remember watching Emile Wolfe on the independents in the late sixties and so naturally sceptical. I was surprised after we started Heritage to hear from friends he was a Jugoslavian.
Wasn't Jan Kowalski sometimes billed from Krakow?
Kurt Von Snyder, who was he. I remember seeing him in Long Eaton
Drew McDonald as Comrade McDonald in a snazzy Pravda T shirt.
Red Ivan and Le Grande Vladimir. They both wrestled here even if neither was any more British than they were Russian.
That's a good call, Hack, and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as to whether Hungary was Iron Curtain. Perhaps more Aluminium.
But the original Gustav LeBrun was from Brittany.

Not sure where he was supposed to be from, but never let ignorance get in the way, Arthur Heaton was Gustav LeBrun.
The first to come to mind is Accrington's Bob Bannister, otherwise Robert Retsinabb of Hungary.
Yuri Borienko?, Josef Zaranoff?
You have started and ended the list, Romeo.
