Tom Nicholson of Threlkeld.
Among the distinguished athletes of a byegone period, not one in the long list has conferred a more enduring celebrity on the wrestlings of the north, than the Threlkeld champion, Tom Nicholson. He owed this high position not to overpowering strength and weight, but to what lends its principal charm to back-hold wrestlingscience and activity. These, added to entire confidence and fearlessness, rendered him a match for any of the big ones of his day.
