'A brilliant oral history of the golden age of British wrestling and magnificent wider social history.' Richard Osman
The classic account of the men and women who used to fight each other for pride and money. Simon Garfield brings them to life in one last glorious bout of jealousy, myth, revenge, passion and deep devotion.
