All Round Big Dude

Yes he was indeed a boyhood hero for many young boys growing up in the UK.
I remember as a kid going to the local swimming Baths where they had a Multi Gym that anyone could use..was a good one that i later saw the army & police used.
Workout on the multi gym then in the pool...Happy Days ;D
