gmarshman Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ron Ace Allcard, Am in touch with Ron , who lives London area, and recovering from major surgery. He hopes to be up and running with PC soon to respond to ex friend and acquantances. Ron was a wrestler in younger days with Ronnie Crookes, and they both worked the doors of The Penny Farthing night club in the early 1970's He was saying he remembers the cloak room lady at Penny Farthing and her husband was Concert Secretary at Firth Park Working Mens Club . Any one know how they have faired over the years ?. He mentioned Eric Ludlam as an ex wrestler , who also was sparring partner for Randolph Turpin.I am sure he worked at Surmanco mid 1970's . Are there any memories out there for Ron , would be pleased to hear from any old friends. Gary Marshman North Wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArronM Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I have been looking for contact details for Ronnie for ages. Last time I saw him he was hale and hearty, living in London. We spent years working together as artist and manager but, way more importantly, as great friends. Ronnie is a superb bloke and I loved him dearly. I did something that disappointed him but he misunderstood what had happened. Although that's way in the past, I would love the opportunity to talk to him about it and to laugh again about all the great times we shared. I moved to the USA but am now back in the UK, living in Sheffield. If anyone can help me re-connect with Ron I would be eternally grateful.

Rallcard Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Yes, it is the same Ron Allcard that went to Wisewood school. He lived in Deepcar/Stocksbridge for a while and then in later years he moved to London. Rachel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firparnian Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I worked with Ron when he was at Brown Bayleys in the 70's, great bloke. Certainly was a character who kept everybody on there toes, with his wisecracks and practical jokes. Sad to hear of his passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
