Proffits furniture company flagship store the arcade Bolton,dated back to 1900s sadly gone,Geoffrey was a regular attendee at Wryton stadium

Anglo do keep up Brian whos career ruined by a sprained ankle in bingley later the popular referee, introduced eavyweights in saalford

Romeo Joe's ,kidds on the height before you question Salford grammar

That made me lol Anglo Brian with no hs pronounced it Sal. Ford. So did u do the cattle market two brewers windows rest as part of your education,what about Les kellers favourite chip shop parkers or Romeo Joe kidds on the height

Bill was skilled to a degree he couldn't use in most bouts,he amateur class was evident,was adept at ensuring others got the heat accolades .nice guy I can remember his snowy river memories to this day.always a bit heavy on the arm levers but great to go in with. Oh and a Salfordian when we had Lancashire accents

Fred had what any good m c had credibility,joint insisted on that from all FOH employees the fact he was a fan was added value.Ernie was a good mc and descriptive and knowledgeable but was bloody hard work.Charlie was more worried about head counts and his reappearances when falls due was noticeable. Brian Crabtree a legend in his own lunchtime got in the way constantly. Like Max everything was about him.

It was

Karl Marx was a light heavy from Leigh ironically he was Ukrainian.Apollogies for late night punctuation

Casanova not frank finlay but both from farnworth,Robin Hood,Karl Marx from Leigh,

Tell me when it's over

Bud Flanagan and Solomon's,I wonder if they had a HQ in Walford under the arches.

I'm guessing it's an ironic comment about presentation and dress standards oh and tyldesleys finest was an all round athlete

Dales in particular had strict code of behaviour including swearing and other joint members followed.i knew of one lad who received a warning about bookings after questioning the parentage of a referee. Leon arras often used the word bugger but was never questioned.on how the reg Maxwell hall reacted to Johnny Czelaws Swhine . Interestingly racist remarks went down badly in the dressing room perhaps we weren't all neanderthals,however homophobic jibes were almost the norm. The award for swear words per sentence outside and whispered inside the ring goes to Dales referee .............. Any ideas

The grovitt did exist ,jack Fallon applied it with ease and demonstrated it as a reminder or finisher.kent Walton widely stated that he was first to name a hold the Japanese strangle hold,this dated back many years and was reversed Lancashire cravat, terminology is as vague as titles . I admire Ruslans determined research but only thing set in stone is ephitets,1920s for money matches in south east lancs were very much submission based,how do I know this I have had the privilege to have spoken to three guys who did it,this being in 1970s and they told me the nearest they'd seen to their game was billy Joyce ,the same billy Joyce beaten by Shirley Crabtree, the magic circle had nowt on this game

Stateing

Ruslan surely you are not starting billy Robinson was not a submission wrestler,I guess I misunderstood your comment

That's the one Ron I was sub and I remember it so well because of this plus I wasn't happy with a certain indivual

Did Les meet Terry after 1970,interesting Anglo mentions Les and Mick bring close,it was close enough for Les to kick off with Mick about opponents and get dates adjusted. By the way I'm not convinced about how Mick got the booking biro iv heard three different versions. Mick was very much you earn it by graft perhaps I'm that's my naivete. Also the blame on Marino on matchmaking wasn't EE off his making the pool had shrunk he worked with what he had. Right off to check the duvet for the horses head, The interest research and respect shown on here mirrors the early 70s by the the regulars so heart felt thanks

Apologies I mentioned the band stand the gates the clock not the venue belle Vue of course,hope Ron can work his magic,he did on my ancestry and I had very vague info and that stories ongoing

Yeah the fox not the illustrator Ost.Anglo it's something I recalled recently,Mick had a series of books but where did the info come from well mainly refs three in particular they related heat,professional standards and compliance.Martin Conroy did his personally but Jack Atherton could relay the same info as could Stan Rylands.back to Dales Charlie was purely maths,others like f p Blake nothing.Bob verlander was trusted to be impartial for norman ,Ernie sometimes a bit biased.
