Title: Anyone remeber Geoff Capes?
Post by: UK Gold on June 10, 2007, 07:29:41 AM
A few years ago he was always on the TV [in England] boasting about how strong he was. Arrogant, fat, greasy, hairy - but was he any good?

He looked like shit compared to the top guys of teh day like Kaz and JP..nor was he as good as them, but he did win WSM and came second a few times as well...I think he was originally a shotputter

He did indeed Bench, Capes was a strong dude no doubt - I think the term "cock" strong applies to him. He didnt look like he was strong, actually he was built like a turd but he was a powerful dude none the less

He won WSM in 83 beating Sigmarsson by only 1.5pts. He placed very well in years before too.

I posted this before seeing he was your friend so sorry about that.  :-[

Getbig anti-wimp rules, however, prevent me from deleting it.

Where you get that from ?
In all the time I worked with Geoff he never claimed he was a Fighter
& never ever said any such nonsense to me.
