Don't know much about arm wrestling ,but there is a local lad who has just won a world title ,not for the first time either ,and hardly anyone knows he does it ,he's better known for being a decent fiddle \violin player 

haha

If you're on about who i think then the " lad " is 61 ....just won the amateur Grand Seniors out in Malaysia i believe it was.....good luck to him he's been around a long time,the amateur game is very much different to the pros as it go's on age/weight categories,different rules and formats etc but respectable achievement nonetheless.......most of our generation first got into arm wrestling after the Stallone film Over the Top came out,if i remember right Dan actually competed in the qualifying rounds of that competition which shows how long he's been at it.

That's the lad , as I said talented violinist ,and I often wondered if that had much to do with his success .

He isnt a powerhouse at all really he's always kept himself in good shape no doubt about it but the sport requires a lot more than just power mate

Every time I see this thread title for a split second  I think that it is about the Big Market in Newcastle (upon Tyne). Happy days!
