[@peterfenton2750]

Classic match up from 2 greats of the time..thourghly enjoyed it👌

[@TonyWilliampianoman]

The referee Emile (real surname name Ryder) was ever such a nice family man in Heaton Moor, Stockport. I remember him, his wife and daughters very well as I played piano for my aunt's dancing school as a lad.

[@Smokyjohnson1983]

Oooh Swad. Just up the road from me here in Leicester. Two terrific performers here. P.S we always use the term “Mardy” to refer to someone who is angry or has lost their temper. Never knew it was used for a coward/‘yellow’

[@BeasleyStreet]

Crikey...names I hadn't thought about for 40 years...and then the memory kicked in ,and remembered his nickname " cry baby"

[@carlkane7544]

I love how Arthur psycho posts all these excellent wos broadcasts I love it keep them coming.

[@agnostic47]

I always remember my dad saying (about Alan Dennison) "that guy's barmy".

[@Batwing3]

im transported back to the late 70s after pubs in afternoon ..my ex wife bless her cooking bacon eggs and sausage ready for four o clock to watch the wrestling then back out for 7 to the pub ( thts why shes ex ) haha

[@muscleslam]

....i was never to keen on J.B. in the era of my youth, many years later i am still not keen on the guy, that leaves A.D. as to why i viewed this match....though i never saw much of A.D. in the ring at matches i could attend non the less it's good that another match with A.D. is loaded to view and with some smart close in takes as well as good vid focus that enhanced the pleasure viewing factor....it's about 30yrs since Alan was taken from us of what i understand was a heart attack...?. ....Thanks for posting...

[@leeinvegas]

Alan was truly a strong man

[@mrgladstone4044]

In 2023 there are not wrestlers with the range of moves that can work together. Aside, proper hard men.

[@JakeHkd2]

Good match, loved the struggle at the end between the two over the sunset flip.

[@DJT7362]

Jim Breaks is now in a Spanish prison awaiting trial for murder at 80 years old.

[@mikeuk4130]

Apparently, he now suffers from dementia. He was always a real b*****d in the ring and there's no excuse for punching your girlfriend to death.

[@peteraustin370]

Now in a secure dementia facility in Tenerife!!

[@shauntalbot5157]

Where's my sarnie lol

[@rogerbixley6911]

Jimmy died christmas day 2023.

[@mystified1429]

Brilliant work from Arthur Psycho. My theory on Breaks' jumping ( crybaby act ) is that he got so riled up his legs started to shake ( spotted it on one video ) so he jumped to hide it. Not the brightest brain in the ring he couldn't cope with fast moves, or Alan's amazing strength. Dennison was my hero back in the day. Never knew any recordings had survived.

[@thisiszaphod]

Did Jim Breaks go to trial over the murder of his partner, for which he was arrested? News has gone quite on this since 2017

[@lesreed7943]

Karma's a bitch - as the crybaby has now found out!

[@honoredutrey]

Jim Breaks was evidently a top class amateur wrestler and could therefore probably cope with anybody in a straight match.This is all acting.

[@mystified1429]

@@thisiszaphod Dodged the trial by having Alzhiemers = now in psych. hospital in Spain.

[@michaelburden5895]

Say what you will they were very fit and strong lads, breaks mostly won by foul moves most of his bouts consisted of trying to weaken his opponents arm.

[@mystified1429]

most bouts ? every single one .lol

[@Mike-m4c]

no all of them it got boring at the time just as with McManus always winning

[@rogerbixley6911]

As a kid I lived in Leicestershire and when it was said the somebody was mardy it meant to us that the person was in a bad mood or disagreable mood.

[@johnpalin7393]

Died after wrestling a wrestler called dave duran ,

[@honoredutrey]

Do you have any videos of the "feet on the ground" technical wrestlers that appeared in the early days of TV wrestling -Billy Joyce,Bill Howes,Jack Dempsey,Alan Colbeck Ted Hannon etc.Much more enjoyable than the acrobatic "blue eyed boys" or the overweight "belly bumbers" ? Do you know if a video exists of the infamous McManus v Preston bout where Preston didn't stick to the script.

[@dalemartinpromotions4692]

Gotta say Jimmy Breaks was one of my favourite wrestlers. Loved to see the old women on the front row almost have I a stroke with his rule bending.

[@DJT7362]

Now in a Spanish prison for murdering his carer

[@BREMENMURRAY]

These wrestlers first met on TV In May 1960.Prime Time slot at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="540">9:00</a> pm. Have you got any of the black and white era matches?

[@arthurpsycho4214]

Afraid not. My collection is 90% from the 80's, when I used to watch it on TV, with a small amount of 70s stuff (mainly featuring the 80s guys if you see what I mean).

Former ITV wrestling star Jim 'Cry Baby' Breaks, 83, who 'punched his British ex-girlfriend to death' on Gran Canaria is ruled unfit to stand trial due to dementia Daily Mail 23 June 2020

2 public warnings to the gargoyle

[@EnidAgnusDei]

Interesting as in Yorkshire Mardy means to be in a bad mood, IE Breaks is a mardy arse!

[@johnfellows2867]

As far as I know to be Mard is to be a big cry baby.

[@thewomble1509]

Anyone know if it stayed 2 - 0 to cov?

[@cidertom5140]

Breaks looks like kier starma

[@RedcoatsReturn]

Everbody hated Cry Baby Breaks, though it was all a show of course.

[@michaelord988]

Met him in Newcastle...he was lovely with the fans.

[@honoredutrey]

Of course.Just an act.

[@Mike-m4c]

I suspect some of the nastier wrist damagers were not an act .

[@clayshamz]

The way my dad loved Jimmy Breaks .

[@carlaichroth7993]

Would love to have seen another wrestler give him a special

[@thomasmcclean4352]

Sneaky Jim Breaks
