Edward Alfred Wing (born June 22, 1938 Tottenham, Greater London) is an English 2nd dan judoka. He is a two time British Judo Champion and was placed fourth at the 1961 World Judo Championships in Paris, losing to Anton Geesink, the eventual winner, in the semi-final. Edward was a professional musician for many years, priarily as an opera singer, which led to him working in television, most notably as 'Sonny' in Eastenders being the man Angie Watts ran off to Spain with. He was also once a breeder of German Shorthaired Pointers and achieved best of breed at Crufts in this vein. These efforts, combined with his time as a detective sargeant in the Metropolitan Police during the sixties has led to an almost unsurpassable number of interesting stories and general awesomeness.
