Data updated
Known for
1973 is one of the most complete single seasons in this database. Mr World and Mr Britain outright, plus the medium class at both the Mr Universe and the Mr Europe. He defended the Mr Universe medium class in 1974.
The rest is longevity. He won the World Amateur Championships middleweight in 1979, placed thirteenth at the 1980 Mr. Olympia, and took the Mr Universe masters title in 1992, twenty-one years after his first recorded win.
Early career
His record opens in 1970 and his first win is the Mr Europe medium class in 1971. He was a regular at the professional Universe through the second half of the 1970s, finishing second in 1975 and third in 1976, 1978, 1981 and 1982.
