The definitive list of Cork sporting legends

no bet draped over the shoulder

He had lost it by that time i believe. There is an elaborate story around how he lost it. Essentially wrestling was pre-determined at this point and Danno was meant to win a bout against a German named Dick Shikat.

Shikat had a disagreement with the promoter before the match and went in there and actually submitted Danno for real, when he wasn’t meant to.

I believe this finished Danno as his “aura” was diminished by this.
