I didn't even know he had a wife. He was only 23 or 24 years old here, but he looked so much older than his age at the time. They didn't mention that he was a police officer. I wonder if he was one yet in 1973?

HE was gifted with huge amounts of food when some people hadnt got the money to eat.All because it was more important for him to do his strongman contests.He should have been made to stump up the money to buy that.
Wow, what a rude comment! Geof Capes had businesses lining up to sponsor him because they wanted his face all over their shops and newspapers.
