Just seen it on BBC Sport online only 75 as well.
One of GB's first Strongmen winning Worlds Strongest men twice.
He virtually put strongest man on the map in Britain at least,
He was a great strongman

RIP Big Man.

Sad.
I had a chat with him about birds in a pub in Plymouth once when I was about 16. He was breeding budgies or canaries or something like that.

RIP to the big man.
I can understand why Mr Capes was talking about birds, as was his hobby, but as a 16 yr old why was Master Prosser indulging in such a topic

I was asking because I was genuinely curious how something like that would happen. It is the kind of random thing that would happen to me.
