Nicholson House wrestling match - 1958/9
(Photo & text supplied by Martin Langley)
Nich house wrestling match 1958 or 1959. This photo taken in the Nich house quad is of an informal wrestle between Ian
Horley and I think Johnny Grainger. I vaguely remember the incident which was semi-serious as evidenced by the large group
of interested spectators. Ian Horley had a large torso on skinny legs, hence his nickname "Egg on Pins" or "Pins" for short. He smoked a lot but was
a good sportsman, and for whatever reason came in for a fair bit of stick from the lads, except this time he wasn't taking
any.
The spectators, from left to right are Brian Eddy, Alan Westcob, Otto Jacobs, Mike Johanson, ??? in suit, Paul "Punda"
Vernon, Moir (?), possibly Martin Langley with face obscured, Barnett (with glasses, son of "Woof" the woodwork master),
Jimmy Johnston, Andrew Duncan, Guy Riegels with hands in pockets and Dick Foxton.
The photo was sent to me by Stevie
Phillips of Rhodes (1956-'60) - he couldn't remember where he got it from.
