Sad news. Great memories of him, Jackie Pallow, Big Daddy, Haystacks, Kendo Nagasaki et al.

Those were the days when I thought the bouts were real, not staged!

Ahh a Saturday afternoon of TV sport - ITV Seven, Mick and the wrestling before the highlight of the teleprinter bringing the latest scores/results in

Remember watching him with my grandad on Saturday afternoons while waiting for final score. Famous for the Boston Crab! Once saw him at the Brighton Dome too

RIP :angel:

My dad was a huge wrestling fan and we always watched it on World of Sport on a Saturday. Mick McManus was one of the "villains", but always a likeable rogue.

I also thought the bouts were real in those days, too. I've no idea if my dad realised it was just entertainment, but I imagine he did.

We visited Mick's pub in Northampton one time when we played there (it's not far from Sixfields), and I was disappointed not to see him.

They don't do entertainment like that any more, do they... :down:

Stood next to him in the Plough at Pyecombe and he was a lot smaller than he looked on tv. Was it him related to Reg Gutteridge or was that Jackie Pallow?

Ask him ref , ask him !

:) And the sly dig to the ribs on the refs blindside , then showing the ref your palm when the crowd went wild .
