Britains Strongest Man History

 

2002 Marc Iliffe

2001 Glenn Ross

2000 Glenn Ross

1999 Glenn Ross

1998 Russ Bradley

1997 Russ Bradley? Rob Dixon?

1996 Russ Bradley?

1995 Bill Pittuck/Forbes Cowan (Russ Bradley?)

1994 Bill Pittuck

1993 Bill Pittuck

1992?

 

Right we are starting to build up some history now! Les Wiltshire said that Russ Bradley won it 1995,1996,1997 & 1998.

Yvonne Ross said that he won the British Musclepower twice. Bill Pittuck said that he thinks Rob Dixon won it in 1997.

So we still need some input to verify who won what and when!

In 1997 in Edinburgh at the WSM qualifier (which I assume was the BSM), Jamie Reeves won it convincingly but didn’t go to WSM and Russ Bradley was second.

Keep the info coming in!
