I’m going to be shameful here. I have tried to help a lot of people in this job for 40 years. I never want a thank you. My lad works and has work hard. Please rt this as a thank you to me.

@AJFwrestling @RobbyBrookside @RealErnestARS @ostpies @WrestlingCardz @SheriffLonestar @SirLARIATO This was brought to my attention. My favourite bout I ever had. We hadn’t wrestled each other for a while and I think we did an 8x5 min draw. We did get a standing ovation at the end that you didn’t see in those days. John was a great promotor to work for.

@RealKingRegal @AJFwrestling @RobbyBrookside @ostpies @WrestlingCardz @SheriffLonestar @SirLARIATO 0-0 draw over 8 rounds , that took some doing. McCoy/Ben 2-1 Rocco/Murphy. Collins beat Barratt DQ. Kidd 2-1 White. Hobbs 2-1 Martin

Pretty sure 'Sweet Syria' was @RealsarayaK - the standout typo in a packed field!

27th July, 1969 in Blackpool. Two shows running head to head within a mile of each other.

Digging further, there was a 3rd show that day on at Blackpool Tower circus, featuring a young André the Giant on the bill.

Hilarious listen. The "dropped for whistles" story made me laugh til my belly ached.

I also need a lift to a show in Kent. Any volunteers?
