El Bandito - The Autobiography of Orig Williams

Good readEspecially if your a British wrestling fanLooks back at the good old days

I was watching a wrestling show a few weeks ago, and thought, I wondered if this was promoted by Orig Williams - then I read Adrian Street's latest autobiography and low and behold this book pops up!Throughly reccomended. I would reccomend this to anyone with a passing interest in wrestling, British Wrestling, Welsh football, or just looking for a Welsh hero and trend setter. Someone who decided to do something with himself and did it. A real inspiration to many in the Principaliy.

Very interesting book about a colourful character.

I had the pleasure of knowing Orig and could tell a few tales myself about this larger than life ManIt was great to take a trip down memory lane again.Orig was a Great Character and Gifted Raconteur .There was never a dull moment when you were in his company.People like this don't come your way very often and it was a great privilege to have known and listened to his taleswhich still live on in my memory today

A portrait of the lost World of Sport heroes of my childhood through the eyes of a great Welshman. The book has humour and an honesty that would appear to sum up the late Bandito with great credit. Oh for those vanished days of Giant Haystacks on a Saturday afternoon...

Brought back many great memories from my younger years.

Really, really rated this. Took a punt as I hadn't really heard of Orig, but what a story. Well worth a read to any true wrestling fan - particularly those with an interest in the evolution of the UK scene/the rise of copycat characters/shows

Orig was a top guy, took on the might of joint promotions lived an interesting life, albeit on the edge at times!! One of wrestling,s most enduring and enjoyable characters in a world full of them.. Brilliant read
