| Biography | Eric Sands was a British wrestler. Sands became interested in wrestling whilst he was serving in the Royal Navy, and he started to seriously study the amateur game, at Bradfords Windmill Amateur Wrestling Club, on discharge from the navy.
A win over World Welterweight Champion, Jim Lewis, at the Royal Albert Hall in January, 1956, demonstrates the height of his success, with the demise signified by losing to newcomer Leon Fortuna at the same venue just five months later. |
