nothing to hide, please follow my life on webcam Member 255, 3732 posts | little_a said: When was this Steve? I lifted in a U23 at the Empire in 1985. Morgan broke all the CW records with four attempts on his first comp at lightheavy on the same day. The same year. I was lifting at 82.5kg at the same time as (it would be wrong to say against) Dave. | ||

Nearly 30 years on I still vividly remember 3 things from that trip - Morgan - lifting Dave Hancock - first time I'd ever seen him. One scary fella. Jason - Den Welch's great Dane which was considerably bigger than me at the time The Empire was a boiling pot for lifting for decades and very much the place to be. Shame that venues gone. Lot of history there, and memories for lifters. | ||

Lot of history there, and memories for lifters. Pretty much the same memories actually. I was stood in reception as that monster of a dog opened the door itself and came in and started to eat the sandwiches whilst we all stood and watched - I don't think anyone dared to stop it. I'm not sure which was scarier the dog of Dave Hancock! | ||
