'Tucker Moore' was a great local character and at the time lived opposite me in Vine Street.

Another was Jimmy Rudd from Beech Hill who was a Wrestler in Silcocks Fairground Boxing/Wresting booth.

Allan Latham (Francis Sullivan), along with Ernie Riley had a Amusement machine business called Riley and Sullivan and he lived in the big house on Higher Lane in New Springs which he named Latham House.

The golded era days of Wrestling was in the late fifties/early sixties when it was on television and some of the top wrestlers along with those from Wigan were from Bolton like Lou Faulkner and his two sons Vic and Bert Royal, Keith Martinelli (Williamson). Other top wrestlers were from Yorkshire like Les Kellett and some were from London like Jacky Pallo, Mick McNanus and Steve Logan.
