The death of Chris Walton at Just 17 Feb. 3, 2008

Star wrestler Chris Walton was killed on the tracks by a freight train near Haltwhistle whilst delivering coal. In 2001 he was signed by Newcastle United’s soccer academy whilst developing as a Cumberland wrestler until he damaged a kidney when being thrown to the floor. Both careers ended.
His return to the ring was quite miraculous and he took titles above his weight, using skill and tactic to outsmart.
