Mick Gosling

Mick Gosling, born on 24 March 1972, is a strongman best known for winning the Britain's Strongest Man contest in 2005. He is the brother of fellow strongman Richard Gosling, who also held the Britain's Strongest Man title. Beyond his own competing, Gosling worked as a promoter: in 2007 he approached Stafford Borough Council to stage a strongman competition in the area, aiming to raise its profile among young people. The result was the Stafford Superior Strongman 2007 at Rowley Park, Stafford, which drew 18 competitors including past World's Strongest Man entrants Mark Felix, who won the event, Mark Westaby and Laurence Shahlaei, and was overseen by the former British, European and World's Strongest Man Geoff Capes. The event was well received and well attended.
