Come back from the allotment on the back of my Dad's Honda, watched the last horse race, then grapple fans, football results, afternoon tea (egg and chips, my favourite), Dr.Who (Jon Pertwee), bubble bath (sailor matey), read an annual, lights out, 'till Sunday morning, off to Sunday School, change out of my suit, roast dinner, Sunday football on TV, play cards with my mum and dad, bath, early to bed, ( school next day). That was my weekend as a child....Best days of my life....Innocent.

I met Big Daddy when I was about 11 or 12, in Middlesbrough. After his match, where Giant Haystacks was due to be his tag team partner (he’d been diagnosed with cancer not long before and was very unwell), Big Daddy spent almost an hour signing autographs for the audience. Even sitting down I was looking UP at him. Spoke with him for a few minutes, having our picture taken (sadly now lost :-( ) and getting to shake his hand - one of the highlights of my life

From that day I hated BD and became a big fan of Giant Haystacks.

Aye aye aye..,, he's a good looking boy.., etc). This was all part of growing up in The 1970s. 3 TV channels, spangles, the generation game, Concorde, flared trousers, L.Ps, the ford cortina, being taught technical drawing at school, the FA Cup taking up a whole day, vimto, vesta beef curry, mum running up the stairs to find her lucky bingo pen, kids getting fresh air as opposed to vegging in front of gaming machines.

Looking up at how tall everyone was and how strong everyone was with their big muscles. They eventually looked down when they saw me. They flexed their big muscles. They then surrounded me and I tried to get between their big legs but I was too small and skinny. They enjoyed watching me trying to push them away. They were very nice and let me feel their huge muscles. Also they all had a chance to pick me up over their heads and shoulders. I will never forget that day.

Just realised Big Daddy was pretty much our answer to Hulk Hogan in that they were both the mainstream face of wrestling in their country down to popularity and image but by no means the best wrestler. Not a knock towards either by the way, just an observation, and both played a part in pro wrestling's popularity in the UK and US respectively without a doubt.

I used to love seeing them get battered by some granny armed with an umbrella or even worse, the dreaded handbag! The Ninja granny's weapon of choice!

I was there ringside as a 13-year-old boy. The tickets cost £12.50 each. Still got the tickets and the souvenir programme.

Those were the days, Sebastian Coe vs Steve Ovett, Daily Thompson vs Jurgen Hingsen, Björn Borg vs John Mcenroe and of course Big Daddy vs Giant Haystacks........ I want the eighties back.
