Ripley& Heanor News
Popular Langley Mill Wrestler
Les Riley
During the daytime Leslie Riley of Station Road, Langley Mill, follows his occupation as a skilled plumber, and in the evening you might often see him setting off in his car bound for such places as Leicester, Ilkeston and Melton Mowbray, or in a more northerly direction to Manchester or even westerly to Birmingham. Yes, in addition to being a skilled plumber Les is also an idol of the wrestling world, where he pits his strength and skill against some of the toughest characters in the sport.
It is fairly certain that when the fans see the billing Les Riley of Langley Mill and Derbyshire, then they know that there will be a good contest.
Les keeps himself at peak fitness for his job he has to do. He took up wrestling while serving in the Navy and developed so rapidly that soon he was grappling with the best, and won for himself the title of junior heavyweight champion of the Navy.
And when this familiar smiling figure in the green dressing gown and trunks enters the ring it is usually to a chorus of shouts of “Good old Les” or “Watch him Les he’ll have you” to which he usually acknowledges with a nod and a grin.
Local wrestling supporters will have a chance to seeing Les in action at Heanor Town Hall tomorrow (Saturday) when he meets the 17-stone cowboy star “Bronco” Jack Cassidy of Canada, in a special challenge contest, which is topping a well balanced bill.
A quick glance down tomorrow’s bill sees the visit to Heanor of two newcomers. Sean O’Shay (Ireland) and Micky Duffy (Ireland) O’Shay attractively billed as the Irish Dandy will tangle with Big John (Jacksdale) a local mystery boy, and Duffy has a formidable opponent in Paul de Gran (Belgium) who was disqualified on his last Town Hall appearance.
Promoter Jack Taylor himself takes on Cliffe Milla (Denmark) in a lightweight contest that should have plenty of clever wrestling.
