In his 38 years involved with wrestling he has been a second, run his own promotions, refereed, m.c.'d, erected the ring, put up, posters, sold tickets and generally carried out anything to do with the great wrestling business.

He considers himself extremely lucky to have gone from a fan wishing to be a wrestler and actually achieving the dream quite successfully. Always ready to be part of a show. But he sticks to something told to him by Bobby Barnes and Ken Joyce in early days 'Don't give up your day job' and he possibly has a chance meeting with Neil Sands at the Royal Albert Hall in 1972, when he suggested I went to a new wrestling gym he was opening in Chelmsford.

Tiny Tom Thumb trained some of today's current stars and they also worked for him on his shows in their early career's including Doug Williams, Paul Tyrrell, Steve Morocco and Phil Powers, and is delighted with the progress they have made in the wrestling ring.

Now as a MC for Best of British Wrestling we are delighted to have Tiny Tom Thumb as part of the BOBW team.
