I have a VERY tenuous link with him; we were both members of the Budgerigar Society.

It seemed strange that such a huge man would have such a hobby, but he was evidently a very nice, gentle man.

Cheers.

Used to really enjoy watching him in world's strongest man etc.

Also remember a close friend of my old man buying budgies off him well over 20 years ago, £200 a bird!!
