I'm quite sure he's a distant relative (uncle once removed or summat like) of a friend of mine, I'll give him a ring tonight when he's back from work and see what he says.

excellent also maybe he has some pics of the Snakepit itself? interior or exterior

Found an old pic of him. I suppose if you search some wrestling sites there may be other pix.

I thought there were brothers who were wrestlers called Singh from Leeds? Is this just one of them or am I mistaken, probably !
