Quote: Yed™ "He would pop down and watch Parkside a few times, surprisingly short bloke.

Seperate issue do any of you guys recall a Maurice Platt playing for Wigan, he's a course lecturer at the college i'm at in Willesden says he played for Wigan when i went in with my Wire top on, don't recall him though ?'"

One pro wrestler who did play for Wigan was big Ste Breheny. Think he went under the name Buffalo Breheny or something.

Interestingly (or not) Big Daddy was on Bradford's books but never got a first team game.

He was also frightened of Wrestling my Dad's uncle, who was a wrestler by the name of Billy Joyce. I'd guess that only a few on here would remember him.

Maybe as a youngster but that wasn't his real name. He worked down the pit for a while but he then owned a shop and pub.

This bloke was late 50's or something like that and this was probably about 1980 ish. My dad knew him and said he once got hold of him and turned him upside down in an instant. I was bricking it in case he did it to me.Must have been someone else then
