Tributes to Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling stalwart Roger Robson
Roger had battled with a long-standing illness for 25 years. He died peacefully at home.
President of the CWWA, Chris Bland said: âCumberland and Westmorland wrestling has lost a real stalwart.
“Roger was steeped in the sport with a father and uncles who all competed.
“As a competitor himself, he was a ‘true gentleman’ always taking a ‘fair’ hold and never seeking to gain an unfair advantage.
“In his newspaper reports he frequently referred to people who were putting something back into the sport, but no one put more back than Roger Robson.
