Richard Gosling

Richard Gosling, born in 1974, is an English strongman who won the Britain's Strongest Man contest in 2003 and lives in Cannock, England. In August 2001 he was seriously injured while working as a doorman at a nightclub in Cannock, and his attacker was given a life sentence for wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. The BBC reported his 2003 victory under the headline that a Cannock man was Britain's strongest. The English Wikipedia article is brief, so this description records only what that article states about his title, his home town and the injury that interrupted his early career.
