I was reading about Frank Richards. At the height of competition days he fell off a train platform and broke a lot of bones. He was out of training for ten years. He came back and competed. Then he was stabbed by someone and he was done.
-
That was a pretty good year.

Let me fix this for you.

I know Frank, he used to live near me
I was working on rail overhead power lines and fell, almost severed his foot and broke numerous other bones
Came back for the 1985 NOC and qualified for teh Olympia
He then got attacked and had his bicep torn pff the bone by someone hitting his arm with a fire extinguisher
He came back from that as well
His seminars were great, he held nothing back and had some great stories from back in the day, he was in Arnolds erea and Haneys

What culpability did he have in the "got attacked"? Who would attack someone like that?

He is responsible for being attacked? You asked who would attack someone like that? Have you read what the members of this site have written? It reads like the dregs of society got a web site.

George Steele was actually a great amateur and shoot wrestler. He's in the Michigan Hall of Fame for both football and wrestling I think. Was a high school teacher/coach and only did pro wrestling in the summers.

1966 !! One hell of a great year!
I was aboard ship as a part of a MAF (Marine Amphibious Force) cruising within international waters off the coast of Russia when we got hit be a huge 3 day storm which the captain claimed was the wildest storm he had ever seeen.
I have no idea why I did not get seasick but of the 1,200+ personnel, the captain and myself and three others were the only individuals to show up in the O mess and each of the Fhilipino mess crew each looked slightly green
This story gets way too long ... but it does involve an international incident .... and I actually got shot in my right eye while on maneuvers in a foreign jungle.
Less than 3 inches away but it was a very weak 'blank' and simply made a "POP!" sound , so I merely ended up with a perfectly round, black-eye.
Sorry! Way too long, so I'll end it here.
OH, SHIT! I thought you said "1966" which was way much better than '86!

1966 !! One hell of a great year!
I was aboard ship as a part of a MAF (Marine Amphibious Force) cruising within international waters off the coast of Russia when we got hit be a huge 3 day storm which the captain claimed was the wildest storm he had ever seeen.

He is responsible for being attacked? You asked who would attack someone like that? Have you read what the members of this site have written? It reads like the dregs of society got a web site.
In his own words on his facebook :
Three weeks before the contest, whilst at a bodybuilding event, My wife and I, and four friends, went into a café for a coffee. Unknown to us, in the cafe were two guys who had upset some major drug dealers and they were about to be paid a visit by some of the gang members. In the pitched battle that broke out, as we tried to protect our wives from being hurt, I was stabbed in the back and my right bicep was severed. Once again my ambitions had been dashed.
I was rushed to hospital and the surgeons set about saving my life. I had lost four pints of blood by the time I reached E.R. and for the only time in my life I really thought that I was going to die that night. It took 147 stitches to close up the wound in my back and a good few more to re-attach my bicep. The doctors also found that I also had a broken jaw, which they wired up for me. I remember thinking, “Great, how the heck am I going to recover if I can’t eat solid food?” “Oh well, I guess I’ll have to start from scratch again”. You have to keep smiling, don’t you?
Over the next few days I began to ask myself, “Why?”. Why had it happened to me again? I figured that it was all part of the plan, but what that plan is I have yet to discover.
Eleven weeks after the attack I walked back into the gym and did a set of light dumbbell curls with my right arm. Eleven months later I walked on stage at the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio, where I placed 12th. One week later I was in Australia where I competed in the Melbourne Grand Prix, placing 8th and after another week I placed 7th in the World Pro Championships in Sydney.

he was attacked in a restaurant, he was with other people who may have been the target, he says mistaken identity....
Mike Quinn said a lot of stuff about the guy that attacked him too. I don't know the Frank Richards story, maybe totally innocent and attacked, maybe being an asshole like Mike Quinn. If it was in a magazine, that's not reliable on something like this usually, anyone know from actual knowledge?
Just curious, no aspersions on Frank R, admired his physique

I don't know if I got the story right but this is what I was told. Quinn got hit repeatedly with a beer mug from a mobster in a club.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D did you take the name of the oldtime strongman who never touched weights. ??? ??? ??? ???

Frank Richards was one tough SOB.....I remember the magazines in the 70`s touting him as one of the main men who could possibly beat Arnold.
Too bad he had such bad breaks (no pun intended) he was awesome.

Yes, that's the one. Great back detail. Pretty sure you're the second person to note my username since I joined in 2008.
Always knew Rollon as a specialist in the old strandpulling/cable expander stuff. Didn't know he denied the role of free-weights in the development of his physique ala Charles Atlas. Perhaps he wanted to sell more cable expanders or his own expander course. That would make sense. Strength training and marketing gimmicks have gone hand in hand since like forever.

No, they had to pay for it which is probably why he was broke in his later years.

Dude was a monster until he started having disc problems in 1990. He had several back surgeries.
After that he was still better than most but he just couldn't stay in the lineup. They eventually made him a designated hitter and he pretty much stopped trying to steal bases. Sad.

I worked out next to him at Gold's once. His treadmill was next to mine. ;D
