Someone put me out of my misery please.
What's the name of the English (Midlands?) actor, lots of TV work who had been a wrestler?

Mart

nosher powell?

Not Brian Glover? (Leon Arrass)

Tony 'Banger' Walsh.........................a personal friend of mine. Runs Mayfair Security, a really nice bloke.

Tony was a wrestler on World of Sport, and spilled the beans how crooked and rigged it was, result, infamy from wrestlers but ?'s from the tabloids. He was head bouncer at a club in Coventry called Park Lane, and with his contacts, supplied door staff. Keen not to upset his bosses at Park Lane, he named his company Mayfair, as in the 2 exclusive properties on the Monopoly Board.
He saw an opportunity in supplying regulated bouncers, and not the thugs that used to be employed, and as a result, was instrumental in the policing policy that bouncers undergo to get their license.
He still runs Mayfair in Leamington and supplies to corporate events to star premieres.
I worked for Tony and found him to be a great boss, and still see him often.

Thanks Peter, thats the name thats been eluding me.
