Iron Man Steve Logan
I can get him back into the 1940’s and shown are matches with Mick in 50 and 52.
All Lower card.
I find the first reference to the Iron Man in 61 and early tag team with Mick in 64. Maybe those can be beaten.
Retirement, Maybe at the end of 79. Thirty years in the game seems logical.
Always enjoyed him, at his best when well matched weight wise.

I remember walking up to the Stadium from the old exchange station with him after I had helped him sort his train times out for the return journey and he got me in the show for free

Apart from the change of opponents in that thirty year period there must have been quite a contrast from working for the likes of the Dales, Morrell and Relwyskow to working for Crabtree with an entirely different sort of vision, or lack of. The old timers must have thought the world had gone mad.

I am Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells at that tag bout. Mick would never have put himself in that. Heaven knows what he said and did when he turned up to see that match.
My memory: for a year or two I just couldn’t get Logan’s autograph. How times change: I went down to the post office where they had all the phone books in the UK, complete with addresses. I looked up Brixton and Steve Logan. Naive! But no, not with an initial like all the plebs, there he was: “Steve Logan.” So I wrote to him, in Streatham I think, whingeing that he always slipped out invisibly and was the biggest name whose autograph I needed. Back came an envelope with a publicity portrait with a beautiful signature.
After that, he suddenly became easy to get. I whipped out my felt tip for my Who’s Who, The Wrestler, Covermen of Wrestling – all the books I got him to sign. But on all of them, all I got was a lazy squiggle. The blue biro on the publicity portrait remains the best.
