Gone are the days me and my old dad loved to watch Les Kelley Brilliant.

I loved watching this on a Saturday afternoon on TV

Absolute legend, brightened 1970s Saturday afternoons no end.

The great Les Kelley,a great time was had by all..

The wrestling was required viewing for years on a Saturday afternoon. It was best when your Granny was shouting at the ref.

I can remember watching wrestling on Saturday afternoon before the football results would come in.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK TILL NEXT WEEK....

Hi This match is from Chelmford and was recorded 8th May 1974, broadcast on the 11th May 1974

Jon Moxley stated he is a fan of Kellet and he inspired the rebound clothesline Mox did in wwe.

Les Kellet - what an athlete.

Les was pushing 60 here.

"Kellet can both wrestle and perform comedy at the same time, Very good. "-😆.📺.

I grew up on Jerry Lawler wrestling out of Memphis, and later, Georgia Championship Wrestling, which eventually became WCW. This 1970s, British wrestling reminds me of the good days of Memphis wrestling. I would say the old British wrestling was more focused on the wrestler personalities. The old Memphis wrestling was more about revenge and trying to hurt your opponent (of course in kayfabe). Now that I'm older, I'm enjoying watching these old British matches.

Les was born in 1915.... not bad for a 59 year old.

I f you knew how tough this man was, you would not say anything bad about him. these men really knew how to wrestle and brawl. most came from North England.

Kellet was a very hard man

Mr Kellett was entertainer supreme and as hard as overdone toffee he should have also been a stage actor as well!

I can see why Les Kellett was my Dads favourite. So many different gags, stamping on toes, stepping on fingers. Being Semantical. The grumpy old man look when he's "angry" and the little schoolboy routine when the ref was telling him off. Simply genius

Brilliant deduction Sherlock.

Kellet the followed the same script nearly every match. Accidentally catch the ref. "Tell him about that" "The bells gone" "You told me to take my time" It became somewhat repetitive in the end.

Less kellet very hard man !

just class

Good old les, a master of his work

Look at the smoke hanging over the ring... also love the announcer trying to use his "posh" voice...

Don't supposed it all could have been FIXXXXED could it ?

Kentuckian here! I'm just now discovering Les Kellet. Obviously, I was not familiar with him, back in the 1970s. But, what a character and wrestler!

les kellett... brilliant gentleman wrestler

Good old Les, when he pulled his hair forward "getting his rag off", reminds me of Boris Johnson haha

Do you have any vids of Bobby Barnes and adrain Street as partners that you can upload?

To my mum and dad Saturday afternoon wrestling was on a par to religion,you just didn’t miss it and if anyone spoke during a match ,that was sacrilege!

I'm from Bradford watch wwe but my dad use to watch this he said

God all mighty i loved this when i was a kid i really thought it was reel les kellett never fourt mc manus because they were the two top actors.

At the 3:25 Mark where South is gripping the skin at Kellet's neck and supposedly disabling him, what on Earth is that all about?

Ever time I need a pick up

Kellett looks like Hannibal Lecter

My old Dad believed this wasn't staged lol

at 10.36 Kellet should have got a public warning lol

It was strange in later years seeing Johnny South as a bald wrestler.

Kellet all man here: takes those rights to his smooth gut with some short grunts then pats himself there ...then on his knees belly out and still gettin worked over with nerve pinch: little dude still packin tho at 10:55 for the loss...

I remember the brown stains

I wonder if Max Ward was a wrestler before going into refereeing bouts.

Fixed of cause as you would never let someone put an armlock like that,lol, just wondered if Kent Waltob believes all this!

I used to live not far from Les Kellet and his family. He was known as the wrestling clown 🤡 but he could handle himself in the ring

And a proper mc to host the wrestling

Not decrying Les Kellet but look at his arms he's got no muscle tone.

The Bell's gone lol

Do you have hangouts go on it baby

It was all fixed of course

Same old act, every time.

did people actually PAY TO WATCH THIS CRAP

Boring British Wrestling...
