Known for
Four Mr Universe class titles is the headline and the European record is close behind: the short class in 1979, 1980, 1981 and 1982, and the open title in 1979. He added World Championships class titles in 1981 and 1986 and the Mr Britain in 1979.
Twelve wins in thirty-two contests, and almost every contest he did not win he finished second or third in. The record has very little in it below third place.
Early career
He first appears in 1977, winning the Mr Universe short class in his recorded debut year and finishing second at the Mr Britain and third at both the European and World Championships in the same season.
The last recorded win is the 1986 World Championships, nine years after the first.
