Performer dressed like a glam rocker, even wearing lipstick, and once, he said, ‘beat the crap’ out of Jimmy Savile
The pioneering Welsh wrestler Adrian Street, who found fame after leaving his mining community to become a flamboyant fighter, has died at the age of 82.
The Brynmawr-raised performer was known for his androgynous appearance and claimed to have taken part in more than 12,000 fights during a career that spanned seven decades – including one contest where he dropkicked Jimmy Savile.
