Paul Grant ex Mr Universe on 10:59 - Dec 22 by mawdlamjack
him and his wife ran a cafe opposite victoria gardens in neath in the late seventies, his wife was a friend of a girlfriend of mine.
Was she the one who was Miss Universe Bikini?
What was he like? Strange how little is known about this chap, he was number one in the world, from Swansea and I'm ashamed to say I had never heard of him. Surely a statue is deserving, similar to this?
POSTER OF THE YEAR 2013.
PROUD RECIPIENT OF THE SECOND PLANET SWANS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.
Wasn't he basically a testing ground for Arnie? Come up with some new concoction, test it on Paul and if it works in to Arnie it goes. If not, on to the next one.
Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws.

no, she never went in for the body building,she did complain that the roids had shrivelled his nads and killed his ardour though.

I used to work out in his gym on Wind St, back in the 80's. Got to know him quite well. He was making a bodybuilding come back at the time, him and Peter Phillips (who used to own Better Bodies opposite the Lib) used to train together. They were absolutely massive.
There was a guy Dave Morgan I think who was a world shoulder press champion circa 1995. I think he was a jack. He came to a gym in Carmarthen and was brilliant to listen to. Reckons a lot of bodybuilders were Arnie's guinea pigs.
Don't want to brag myself up here but I'm currently typing via microphone-headphone facilitated dictation software whilst doing wrist curls. No big deal you may say!
Well the wrist curls I'm doing are 5 sets of 20 using two sit down lawn mowers that have been welded to each side of an Olympic bar.
Argus!

I knew of him, spoke to him a few times nice fella, but ruined his life by using Steroids he had quite a big gym down Wind St which was popular.
I was a member of his gym in Wind Street back in the 1980s It was the best around at the time and Paul was a nice guy and always helpful when we were training, His interest was bodybuilding rather than fitness or weightlifting, hence the steroids which I think would have contributed to his premature death.
We shouldn't all be tarred with the same brush you know!

Who was that massive black bouncer on the door of Ritzy's circa 1996? He had like a beehive haircut!
There was a small bouncer called Naz or Laz , no one messed with him as he was a tad kwon do expert and could tie bloke up in knots who were twice his size.

Yes, as others have said , I remember his gym. Another useless fact, there was a guy who lived next to me who was also in the film "pumping iron" , sadly now deceased as well.

Paul had a very rare kidney problem in the 1980's and was already on dialysis when he had a kidney transplant.
He worked on the door of The Penthouse for a while, and has already been said was a really nice guy - and yes his wife Christine did win "Miss Universe Bikini" in the early 1970's in London.
Edit ... The Penthouse should be The Cavalier, as it was then.

I think that was Gerald. Worked in Barker the clothes shop too, funnily enough I saw him in Morfa a few weeks ago.
