The message
from Sacha contains these words: Shirley used to be a male name. And always remember that John Wayne was christened Marion....... As in John Shirley Quirk... And Marion, as opposed to Marian or Marianne. But then, one could say that it really didn't matter which... -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

However, I might mention http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/temp/spud.jpg Shirley used to be a male name. And always remember that John Wayne was christened Marion....... -- One of the wrestlers, IIRC either Big Daddy or Giant haystacks, was named Shirley Crabtree. Steve Shirley Crabtree was a professional wrestler known as Big Daddy. He was born on November 30, 1930. His Hometown was Halifax, West Yorkshire. He was trained by George Hackenschmidt. Shirley Crabtree had stints as a miner and in the army but followed his father and became a professional wrestler in 1952. Shirley had played heel gimmicks, called "The Blonde Adonis", "Mr. Universe" and the villainous 'Battling Guardsman'. He also won two titles in the British Wrestling Federation. He quit the sport of wrestling and retired for 15 years. At one time he was in the Guinness Book Of Records for having the largest chest measurement in the country. Shirley's brother, Max Crabtree was a powerful wrestling promoter in England. He brought back his brother to pro wrestling and took on the Big Daddy persona in 1976, playing the "good guy" and feuding with Mick McManus & Giant Haystacks. At this time, British wrestling was very popular due to ITVs World Of Sport. Shirley Crabtree called himself Big Daddy after the character Burl Ives played in the film Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. Crabtree's wife Eunice made him an eye-catching leotard, emblazoned with a big 'D', out of their chintz sofa. Shirley Crabtree adopted a theme tune in the form of "We Shall Not Be Moved" originally performed by Australian supergroup of the 60's The Seekers, in 1980 Shirley Crabtree recorded his own version on EMI Records backed by rock guitarist Legendary Lonnie. One of Shirley Crabtree's career highlights was his feud with Mighty John Quinn, the huge Canadian arrived in Britain and immediately launched into a tirade on television branding the British cowards and demanding a showdown with Daddy. Shirley Crabtree knocked out Quinn in front of 10,000 people at the Wembley Arena. Shirley Crabtree was offered the chance of his own show. It was to be called The Big Daddy Show. An unexpected illness forced Daddy to pull out of the show at the last minute. Shirley Crabtree did alot for children's charities and raised alot of money. The audience in the crowd would chant 'Easy!,Easy!' to give him full support as the good guy. In August 1987 it was the splash which ended his career - in 1987 Big Daddy 'splashed' Mal 'King Kong' Kirk during a bout. Kirk groaned and turned blue. He was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital, although the coroner's inquest cleared Crabtree, stressing that Kirk had a serious heart condition. Big Daddy retired soon after, blaming himself for the accident, and a golden era of wrestling came to an end. Crabtree died of a stroke in Halifax General Hospital leaving his second wife of 31 years, Eunice, and six children, after a peaceful retirement in Halifax, at the age of 67 in December 1997. |
