My late nan once hit Mick McManus with her shopping bag at the wrestling at Leeds Town Hall

[chrisgel]

Mrs. O - My mother in law got thrown out of Belle Vue in Manchester for hitting him with her brolly.

[Ann]

Haha , can just picture that, Mrs O - what a great memory for you! :))

[aelmpvw]

impressive, most ladies used handbags

[Bbbananas]

I can just imagine that mrs o!!

He certainly used to get my nanna shouting at the tv every Saturday afternoon.

Mick McManus, now there's a name from the past !, Saturday afternoon wrestling and Wednesdays nights also if I remember correctly.

[mrs_overall]

She was a demon at the wrestling - I think in her time she clobbered most of the great names

[tonyav]

Les Kellet (sp) was my fave.

[tonyav]

Did she clobber Jackie Pallo, mrs overreach ?.

[mrs_overall]

My nan had a soft spot for Honey Boy Zimba. I don't think she ever assaulted him

[missnemesis]

Ah how I miss Saturday evenings 70's stylee.

Kendo Nagasaki, Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks. Memories =)

[mrs_overall]

I don't know Tony - probably. We used to visit her every Sunday and she would always boast about who she had battered the previous day.
I can still see her blue nylon shopping bag in my mind

[Smowball]

Hear hear.

[tonyav]

Was that bag filled with sand by any chance mrs o. mmmmmm, seems to be a family trait !.
