I was there also. Was a friend of Phil at the time, he didn't compete at the O. But had won the Chicago Pro a few months before the O.

I worked for George Turner in 1987-88 when Phil trained there.

Fantastic interview. I listen to about three quarters of it and will listen later but what a great snippet of history.

He beat Gary Strydom in Chicago.

Cool, thanks John!

Try and get Rory... that's one guy with enough enigma surrounding him to make a very interesting interview.

Phil won a lot more titles than Jimmy Canyon - overall at the NPC USA, overall at the NPC Nationals and won his first pro show.

After the '88 Olympia? I was there watching Gary Strydom doing a photo shoot for Flex and met Lee Haney as well. I remember seeing Phil Williams training that day.

I only trained at Gold's occasionally, although I loved that place. I remember it was 8 bucks to train for a day.

I became friends with Eddie Giuliani and he let me train at World for free, so I was there most of the time...  :)

His head and neck are quite wide and thick compared to the average bodybuilder today
