Being fortunate or clever enough to not be mentioned on the internet is not "airbrushing history" Why would he be mentioned on the (newly popular) internet before he was on tv? what would be the point?
Sam Knee	Young people who love all types of dancing google Goodman and see nothing Maybe wonder why

Bren	I used to dance competitively in the 80s and 90s and Len Goodman was one of the main judges in all the competitions we entered, including Blackpool. Of course he knows his stuff. Why do you think he was recruited in the first place?? He was judge when some of the past and current dancers were competing, including the lovely Karen Hardy. I don't know why wikipedia is being consulted - it's hopeless on dancing. Ask a pro.

Over 40 years ago, he is said to have won the British Championships for some dancing routine - and has been a dance teacher and welder. Not a lot else. Nothing even in the West End; or abroad - until becoming 60 years old. A late developer? Look, as I said, he was a major figure as a judge for most of the UK and some international professional competitions. But you know what? You just keep trolling away. I'm too busy for this nonsense on here. International professional competitions? Where - when - links? I see no evidence of any.... Plenty of things happen that are not documented on the internet. Len Goodman was very well known, and very active in ballroom dancing. He is more than qualified to judge.
