Mick McManus Died today. Legendary Wrestling bad guy. Remember his fights with Jackie Pallo. Always good for a laugh.
R.I.P. Mick, always loved watching the wrestling when I was a kid. Then it was the football scores right after.
R.I.P. Mick. Used to enjoy those saturday afternoons Wrestling items on itv's World of Sport with Dickie Davies. Great fun especially the old biddie with the handbag.
Mick McManus was one of the last proper wrestlers before the Big Daddy / Giant Haystacks bullshit brigade heralded the farce the sport has now become. RIP Mick
Elvis (Declan McManus) Costello's Dad was indeed Ross McNanus, who sang with the Joe Loss Orchestra as well as on several BBC sessions. He's a small chap Chazz and he wouldn't be a wrestler. Lover not a fighter I think the expression is! However, I worked with him on BBC R2 sessions and at the Dee St club when I resident there. He always had a young and fit lady on his arm. Nice fellow with it!
RIP Mick McManus Another part of one's growing up gone this week. First time I heard my great gran swear was at the TV, 'dirty bleeding bastard' she yelled! I remember someone saying it wasn't real and she said 'it would be if I got in that ring with him' and indeed she would have handbagged him
