Biography

Ken Irvine, like his older brother Don, competed in both the 1948 and 1952 Olympics. Unlike his brother, however, Ken appeared in both wrestling disciplines. In 1948 he took part in the Greco-Roman bantamweight competition and, four years later, the freestyle bantam event. He won the British bantamweight freestyle title four times, in 1949, 1952-53 and again in 1961, at the age of 38. Ken later became a wrestling instructor.
