I remember Steve liked a bit of a grapple too. Wonder if they’re distant relations?

#metoo.

Apparently he's an award winning author as well. Never in to Wrestling myself so all this sock stuff is lost on me.

Understand from reading tweets it was for one of Billy's mates I think. Nice touch and some good publicity for the club/Billy.

Madine get's upset that Cactus is getting more game time than him so McCabe sanctions a Cactus Jack vs Gary Madine - Shoreham Street Fight.

When not at the Lane, was at my grandads on Margaret Street, 1 minutes from John Street watching for Uniteds score to pop up on the vidiprinter.

I saw a documentary either on him or featuring him (can't quite remember) a few years ago. How that man is still alive and not broken into several pieces is beyond explanation.

You always knew that a Submission was imminent whenever the "Surfboard" manoeuvre was performed.

Was he the deaf wrestler? Might have got him mixed up with someone else.

Yes, I think so. There were a couple though if I remember right. I think on another thread Silent Blade said he knew Alan.

 

[Silent Blade]

Yes, I do. He and his two daughters are on my Facebook friends list. Not seen Alan for a few years but I expect to see him at a funeral next week.

I’m giving you a like for the first bit. Condolences for the second bit, a sad duty that becomes more frequent as we get older.

I remember the wrestling every Saturday afternoon on the World of Sport in the late 70’s.

Mick McManus, Jackie Pallow, Crybaby Jim Breaks with his Jim Breaks specials, Clive Ironfist Myers, Johnny The Saint, Big Daddy Shirley Crabtree, Giant Haystacks, Kendo Nagasaki, Cat Weasel, Mark Rolloball Rocco.

Always use to amaze me how there used to be so many female pensioners in the audience and a few would hit the baddy wrestlers with their hand bags.

I worked at the City Hall in the early 90’s when they did a 1-off British wrestling special. Alan Kilby was in a tag team with his young son Adam Kilby. The audience was a strange mix of young teenage boys not girls, female pensioners not male pensioners and also quite a few males in the audience with Downes Syndrome.
