McGrath was mention in the Ed Conners book from a few months back, some notes I took for a review back then -
" Bruce Patterson hooked Frank McGrath up with Connors. Frank brought a training partner with him to Venice, but he soon left due to rec drugs and a bad meeting with Lou Ferrigno -
“The one thing I had hoped to do was meet up with Lou Ferrigno, again and reacquaint myself with him, and simply tell him that I had made it, and to thank him for his encouragement, but when I approached him, he gave me a ‘dirty' look and brushed me off. It seems my heroes aren’t heroes at all, and I was very disappointed at that moment.” (training partners's letter to Connors).
Ed sorta says Ferrigno can be an asshole in the book.
McGrath almost died from a blood infection he got on his foot from wearing no socks with dirty sneakers and feet. It ended his BBing career. "
Just thought the dirt feet thing was kinda funny. Ed wasn't giving you great gossip, but he'd throw odd things like that out there.
