		Pat Roach, who has died of cancer aged 67, was the solid rock of the extraordinarily popular 1980s Central Televsion series Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, which followed the fortunes of a group of British building workers venturing abroad, initially to prosperous West Germany, to find employment.

		Roach had contracted cancer by the time the idea of a single television film of Auf Wiedersehen was revived, with the lads heading, this time, for America.

		Pat made his name as a champion wrestler after winning the British and European heavyweight titles.
		I was in England at the time and did manage to see Pat wrestle on several occasions in the U.K. He was immensely popular and later when he was filming most of the time he liked to have a few wrestling bouts between films.
		Roach took a lot of punishment from DaSilva who made quite a habit of hoisting Roach bodily over his head with his feet, and dropping him with a sickening thud - several times out of the ring.
