Les was a ref who pretended not to hear any submissions from wrestlers he thought hadn't suffered enough, when asked if he could do any better the legend was born, he was 47. A very hard hardman he was the total opposite when outside the ring but surprisingly was a consciences objector who went to prison rather than go to war
I watched him as a kid and he was in his 40's when i was born so was at least 45 when fighting here (bcos it was b/w when i was born). Les was my mams favourite and was still fighting in his 60's. Brilliant :)
Just to give some perspective on Kellett for anyone not familiar with him, he was a year older than Lou Thesz (whose 95th birthday is tomorrow - 4/24/11)

If ring entrance themes had been used back then, the one for this video would have been perfect for Mr Kellett :)
