SHIRLEY CRABTREE AKA '' BIG DADY '' (thanks to Jamsbo Rockda)
Now back in the 60's - 70's - now we had proper wrestlers thenJackie Pallo - Mick McManus (both baddies them- The Royal Brothers
Goodies - often teamed up in bouts of tag wrestling
Billy Two Rivers - an Indian from Canada - so he said - a goodie
Johnny Kwango - African - a goodie - stuck to the script - an opponent did not
Johnny had - Johnny was - hurt badly - won in court - awarded compo - and rightly so!
Giant Haystacks - he WAS BIG! A baddie! in the wring - gentle giant away from the Wrestling ring
Must not forget - Adrian Street - who may of drevan the other side of the road
Or not
He camped it up some what - when the audience booed and hissed him - Adrian
Blew them a kiss - he was a baddy! He'd now again kiss his opponent on the cheek! he was that kind of bloke! - cheeky! - I recon today he'd be a gay icon
Both Giant Haystacks - and '' Big Daddy '' - specialist in The Belly Flop - big lads!
In the ring they wore uselessly bathing trucks - budgy smugglers - Dave
(he's Australian you know)
Others preferred to fight in leotards - garments of choice!
The audience - booed - and hissed the baddies - especially the old lady's -
One ran to the OUT side of the ring - stabbed a baddie with her hatpin!
Saturday afternoons looked forward to telly's on - grappling fans gathered to watch The wrestling
The I T V - had huge audiences - so much so - they put wrestling on Wednesday
Afternoons!
The shop business - were not happy - as woman staid home to watch the wrestling
The shop owners took the I T V to court - to get the I T V to stop showing the
Wrestling being shown on Wednesday afternoon - they lost the case!
Now back to ''Big Daddy'' A BADDIE - he were no better away from the ring
His attitude towards the fans - to the adults - and towards the kids - so bad
Now there could be an understandable reason fore ''Big Daddy's'' - attitude
His mum and dad - had their son Christean - gave his first name - Shirley
Now there was a time - Shirley - was like Robin - a name not gender - specific
Now I dear say many of you have listened to - Johny Chash's song -
A boy named Sue
He was born in Yorkshire - not a county for being a soft in
It did not end well - for the pop - his son gave him a right beating!
Now Shirley Crabtree - it is not known - if he had '' words '' - with his dad
But he sure had '' words '' - with others
He was a big girls blouse - as they say in Lancashire
Those were the days!
