Geoff Capes gooonee.

Absolute giant of a man. Still holds a number of Highland Games world records and the sight of him smashing the Superstars Cycling sprint is utterly iconic. RIP

Ahh, loved him

Was a copper and 3 time Olympian too I see.
Don't suppose he ever tried rugby?

[Blackmac]

Was also the World Budgerigar Breeding Champion.

Apparently 170kg at his peak and genuinely athletically gifted. Wow! Would have been quite a force on the rugby pitch if the shot or strongman hadn't beckoned.

[TedMaul]

23.3s 200m in his prime!

Didn't he have a go at American Football? Think he was with the London Monarchs for a bit.

Amazing athlete, and came across as a person who did things their way, but did things decently and bloody impressively. His view on drugs cheats, for example:
