| Biography | Pat Patton A pro wrestler from around 1977 Pat Patton was one of the better new breed taking over from the post war stalwarts in the 1970s. He was a familiar figure wearing brightly coloured judo outfits and a busy worker for promoter Max Crabtree during the 1980s. He made an ignominious television debut in February,1979, the gallant loser inevitably going down by two submissions to nil against the skulduggery of Jimmy Breaks in a British welterweight championship eliminator. This was to be the first of around forty television appearances right up to the end of televised wrestling in Britain. Whilst his favour with promoter Crabtree brought a busy engagement book and television exposure the downside was that Pat was regrettably overshadowed by his tag partnership with Big Daddy. From Cannock in Staffordshire Pat followed many other wrestlers into the pub trade when he retired from wrestling. |
