David Sharpe, was talking to him in the 90's down Shields after he had ran away from the coppers for something the week before, can't remember why though.

When I was 7 or 8, my uncle took me to see the wrestling at Crowtree. Big Daddy was headlining and, as he came into the arena, I touched him just above the left leotard line. Bizarre looking at that just how much bigger Haystacks was.

Edit: I should say just above the upper leotard line.

I didn't realise there was that much difference, as I said. Big Daddy was, by the time I saw him, not the fittest. Haystacks, whilst he was the villain in the ring, was seemingly a lovely man.
