He turned up at my school in Lowestoft around the same time. It was for some charity/sponsored event I think. He was hilarious, throwing (!!!) Kids around after we had our picture taken with him. Ah the good old days
Lovely guy. I was once on the wrong side of a swing door in an athletic stadium changing room when he came through it pissed at having blown a shot putt competition. I must have travelled six feet backwards through the air. He immediately apologised profusely, came down from his anger and bought me a pint in the bar. Great competitor.
Im sure he came to Whitton sports centre once earlyish maybe mid 80s for some sports event or to promote sports, as I recall a sudden craze of ripping telephone books in half at school
I did meet him a couple of times in Stowmarket in the 70s. He was happy to chat to anyone who stopped to talk with him. He was there (if I remember correctly) as he had been helping train or advise a young lad from Combs who won Suffolk strongest man contest - Robert or Roger Cobbold, sorry forget the lads name now
