Anyone remember Alan Kilby, Brian Wise and Chris Salt working the doors around late 70s early 80s.

 

Wasn't it Chris salt that appeared on Match of the Day wrestling with the Leicester police circa 1972?

Does anyone remember the bouncers at that old club in Barkers Pool?

 

Names from the 90's like Big Jim (RIP) the former wrestler and Mick Mills, the noted Rotherham boxer?

I remember Big Jim, he was like a house side. The wrestler was Alan Kilby, he was deaf and dumb and a very tough lad.

I knew a lot of the bouncers at various places, Pete Bex from the early days.

Also Hungarian Mick, Joe Durrant, Ronnie Crookes and Ian McIntyre to name but a few.

How's the weather in Bournemouth, I used to live there for a while,(Holdenhurst Road)

Last I heard he had a Pizza Take away in Killamarsh, that man was as full of crap as a silage tank just before emptying.
