I had the pleasure of interviewing Jack on his 93rd birthday.  He was generous with his time and advice, and had just finished his 2 hour training session.

He most recently gave a quote for last year’s blog festival. and has been featured regularly on this blog.

In the day and age of quick fixes and gimmicks, and where young athletes want rewards for simply turning up and doing 10 press ups, Jack was a welcome link to simple, honest advice and some impressive feats of strength.

1000 press ups and 1000 pull ups in an hour and 20 minutes is good going.

Our thoughts go to his family.
