Zapp Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Didn't he used to do a flying head butt as his signature move? I have a mate from the Light Infantry who had the same thing as his signature move. Problem was he would do it in the bar, and it wasnt staged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I used to go with my old man sometimes when I was a kid to brent town hall to watch the wrestling, I liked kendo Nagasaki and rollerball rocco the best , I can't remember the name of the black chap who used to do the karate moves but he got chucked out of the ring and landed on my lap one time :-) Rip mick , not a bad innings though that was 'Iron Fist' Clive Myers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Remember the haircut and the 'smoothing' gesture when he got really angry ? Many a special moment in many personal histories, my own for one. Considering his physique, the man did well to make it this far . May he RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
