Wrestling Heritage welcomes memories, further information and corrections.

Twenty odd stone Liverpudlian Robert Gillan came onto the wrestling scene in the mid 1970s, introduced mainly as a fall-guy for Big Daddy. He regularly faced the so-called people’s favourite, often as a tag partner to fellow villains Banger Walsh or Giant Haystacks. He became involved in wrestling as a fan and steward at Liverpool Stadium.

In a parallel world we also found Gillan working for independent promoters as Klondyke Jed.

Slim Gillan was born in Liverpool on 31st October, 1946, the son of Robert and Doris Gillan . He died of lung cancer on 17th November, 1987, aged 40.
