Another legendary grappler from our youth.

Wasn't he also known as 'Cry Baby Sid Cooper' because he used to cry a lot.
Watch Les Kellet v Bobby Barnes and his giant comb on you tube, fantastic and it wasn't staged either.

You slipped into a K-hole where you thought you were actually Cyanide Sid, not Questions, and that you were actually brown (bread)?
WTF!?!
Jim Brakes was cry baby. He used to throw a tantrum. Jim Brakes got done for murdering his partner abroad not so long ago
I used to follow Sid Cooper round the martlets hall at Burgess Hill every month trying to get his autograph. Never succeeded which was part of his character I suppose
He used to turn up in an old estate motor and always wore an old style green parka

He was deemed unfit to stand trial due to his dementia. He’s likely to see out the rest of his days in a psychiatric hospital though.
William Regal of WWE fame grew up idolising Cooper. I’m fairly certain Cooper was wrestling into his 60s, I’ve got faint memories of seeing him wrestle for Premier Promotions in Worthing.

Another sad passing from my childhood.
It’s funny how the names are still all so familiar. Cry Baby Cooper, Johnny Saint, Rollerball Rocco, Kendo Nagasaki, Jim Breaks, King Kong Kirk, Les Kellett.
Don’t think Kid Chocolate would get away with that name now…..
I remember being so excited when Big Daddy took on Mighty John Quinn

"Wasn't staged"...?
Are you saying that the wrestling was staged and rehearsed?
Kent Walton seemed so convincing in his commentary, grapple fans.
If it was staged then surely Kendo would have had his mask removed but it only ever got to his nose.
If you are right this is very upsetting.

And an honourable mention for Gorgeous George and Giant Haystacks (complete with warts under his armpits).

I sat in the seat in front of Sid for many seasons at Withdean and he was at the heart of the conversations that the regulars had at every game. He always had an interesting perspective and sometimes didn’t hold back with his opinions. I remember a game against Plymouth when he unleashed all barrels on a moaner sitting near us. He came across as a really nice bloke who loved the Albion and was one of the good parts of the Withdean years for me. I am really saddened by this terrible news.

Sorry, I think I might have the wrong person. I know there was someone called Cyanide Sid who sat behind me at Withdean but I don't think he was a wrestler. Apologies for any offence.
I used to take my son when he was a young 'un; used to take him backstage at the Corn Exchange to meet the likes of Big Daddy. Even the "baddies" were nice back stage except Sid Cooper. He was scary and intimidating out of the ring but provided some great entertainment over the years.
RIP Sid
