i loved world of sport Cozmo, me gran getting in the way of the telly and me grandad shouting at the wrestling. i loved the rallycross and the hotrod racing and wrestling.

i remember seeing Dickie on the telly a few years ago and he looked exactly the same,good old Dickie
them days are long gone but youtube brings it all back no problems

The wrestling was nuts far play.............

It was like a circus act
