Sporting heroes growing up !

Brian Jacks, the Judo bloke who always won Superstars back in the 70's.

Yep ,Brian was a top chap,I was a teenager doing the judo circuit in the early 80's and he would run training camps with another top fighter called Neil Adams who was dating Sharon Davis,but Brian's par reel bar dips were legendary

I had the 16k version with the 32k add on which fell off if you wobbled , did complete jet-pac though

Did you wobble your finger or your spectrum??? Jet-pac i had no chance on... but it looked amazing.


Back to sporting heroes... Brian Jacks:

And who remembers when old obese men were called 'athletes'?
