I remember I was a young kid on an exchange. In St. Albans' town hall there were wrestling matches, among them were Big Daddy and "Mr. TV"Jack Pallo. I wanted to see them, but the lady I was staying with, opted for a Charlie Chaplin film instead. I never forgave her 😒

This is my life

Were was Pat Roach, the Guy that should have had a knight Hood

This was awesome.

Big Daddy may have been crap in the ring and the total opposite to Dynamite Kid, Mark ‘Rollerball’ Rocco and Marty Jones who were 3 of the best wrestlers ever in the ring but they never got over with the crowd like Big Daddy. I heard William Regal talking to Stone Cold Steve Austin about Big Daddy and William Regal said “you will never understand just how much of a national treasure Big Daddy was”

How things have changed. Eamonn Andrews talks about his “Christian name” being Shirley. A very common expression when I was younger. Now not allowed. Apparently saying “Christian name” upsets the non-Christian people in this country.

I did look up Brian Crabtree some years ago, and did wonder whether he was still alive, have just looked him up again, and he’s alive, aged 86, well done Brian!.

Hi was are Number one in London good man ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ from Francis brennan Do for get good man big Daddy ❤❤❤❤

Large Father was a British wrestling icon.

Loved Saturday's wrestling back then

Just 'cos this was Dave's last ever gig as Showaddywaddy's lead-singer, that doesn't mean that he's done with Showaddywaddy completely. He's now their manager.

Hi Looniechewnz . Hi there . Would you please have the episode of John Toshack’s This is your life please?… Thank You …

They should have brought back Davey and Dynamite for the occasion, Chris Adams too.

The good old days...... all gone

Legend.....and one of our own,Halifax Lad.....R.I.P

Wot a pleasant man

Saturday Afternoons… Cup of Tea and Cheese and pickle Sandwiches with a generous helping of Wrestling on TV. Miss you Dad 💜💜

Haystacks, forever Salieri to Daddies' Mozart!

Giant Haystacks stole the show here! By looking!

4 o,clock on a Saturday afternoon watching the wrestling presented by Kent Walton

I took young relatives to see Big Daddy at Local Town Hall he was superb he played to the audience and little kids what fun they had good clean fun. Seems another World !!!!

Great man and his Nephew was one of the best Huddersfield Rugby League players of all time.

His Christian name was Shirley

Big Daddy: a man whose sole talent was being fat and bumping into people with his belly. He didn't do any wrestling. He was too fat.

There was a rumour about big daddy

reminds me of sunday nights and the fear of having school tomorrow. great times though. my ole dad loved this program.

Rip big daddy,giant haystacks and mr Andrews.

A true gentleman. Not false like todays lot.

Oooh thank you so much for taking me back to the days of Madley street baths in hull xxxxx 😘 Heather

Mete when I working most horrible person on the planet

Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks - loved watching both of them. May they both RIP.

What a guy, god rest his soul.......

Thank you. But what year?.

Wrestling you got to be joking never seen him jump off the top rope

Max and Brian ended up owning joint promotions wrestling company with a lady called Ann Lewinsky

Great upload, thank you

Many thanks for posting👍

I never missed a Saturday watching the wrestling. I remember Big daddy tag teamed with a new wrestler called Davey Boy Smith who then became known as the British Bulldog in America.

The most FALSE wrestler Britain ever had.. Crabtree was RUDE AND ARROGANT off Camera, unless he was promoting himself. He also HATED Kids. The REAL Gentleman outside the ring, off Camera were Martin Ruane aka Giant Haystacks.

Mick McManus, great syrup!

He comes across as a really nice humble bloke who just cared about entertaining the crowds. Shame he is not in the hall of fame because if there is one name to pick as a British wrestler everyone remembers him. He sold out venues.

O what a sad night I was there meet Dave again gave him a bottle of champagne 🍾

Rip great uncle.

IT APPEARS TO ME AFTER WATCHING REWATCHING TIYL THAT THERE IS SOMTHING HIDDEN WITH SOME OF THE "GUESTS" AS YOU CAN SEE FEAR/ LOOKING UP TO GOD/ EYES ARE WINCING iINTHE FACES OF THE WEEKS CELEBRITY like they are bringing on victims from said celebrity

saw him wrestle in my town, spent a hour with the kids wanting pics afterwoods.. great guy

I took my kids to bell bue in the late 70s to see the KN was my favourite but GH really was likeva giant!

When was this interwiu ?

Yorkshire is a tough place. To be called Shirley he had to be. I understand he was loved by the country.

I LOVED Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy ❤️ Saturday's were amazing because of these men !

What a lovely man! Loved the wrestling growing up in the 1970's
