My current post is about the 126lb Lancashire Wrestling Champion - Tom Jones aka "Burgy Ben" (1867-1952). Tom became one of the major stars among Lancashire lightweights in the 1890's along with his major opponents Jem Mellor and Sam Moores. In 1907 he won the biggest tournament in history of British wrestling (over 65 participants), the 9st Championship, it was organized by Chicago magnate John Calvin Brown and held at White City, Manchester. It lasted few weeks (October 8th - October 26th 1907). I have all of his results from that tourney and I would highly appreciate any info (articles/photos) on Tom Jones, few years ago Wigan's Past Forward published an article on him. Thanks, Kind regards, Ruslan Pashayev
