I have seen him on some old videos at rinside and in the Roy Shaw books.

Why did he always wear dark sunglasses?

Was it a due to an eye condition condition or just a gimmick?

I know his son Greg used to promote shows ocasionally.

Any info would be welcome.

He was, and used to pop into The Hunslet ABC every time he was in Leeds.

I'm sure Mo Prior promotes Romeo Romaeo. I met both of them late last year.
