Early life and education
A Geordie from Newcastle upon Tyne in North East England, he was born Laurance Coulson to a working-class Tyneside family.
Career
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, he could be seen at the usual British wrestling venues sporting his trademark cape, long "Ayatollah"-style beard and scowl. Mulligan played the bad guy with relish and usually lost to the preening good-guy wrestlers. One famously broke both ankles after vaulting over the ropes and landing badly on a row of chairs when being pursued enthusiastically by the massive Big Daddy.
Mulligan wrestled once or twice a week and could occasionally be seen on the television series World of Sport on a Saturday afternoon. The pay was not great though and he supplemented his income by working as a boiler stoker and did the early morning rounds to institutions such as schools, hospitals and old folks homes.
Despite his bad-guy image (as was the case with other bad-guy wrestlers such as Breaks), Mulligan and his family sometimes fostered children from local children's homes.
