"Iron Fist" Clive Myers - Happy Birthday!

We'd like to wish a happy birthday (a few days late) to the legendary British Wrestler "Iron Fist" Clive Myers. Not only was Clive one of the fastest most technical middleweights of all time, he was also for a few years the World Arm Wrestling Champion! During his illustrious wrestling career Myers had many great battles with guys like Steve Grey, Johnny Saint and Rollerball Rocco. He could also hold his own against much larger wrestlers like Kendo Nagasaki & Giant Haystacks! But it is probably from some of his great televised matches that Myers is best remembered, when tackling Steve Grey & Superstar Mal Sanders..... When Hollywood decided to make the film "Over The Top", about Arm Wrestling and starring Sylyester Stallone, it was to Clive Myers that the producers decided to come for their technical information. Myers not only took on the role of "fight director" but also had a large role in the film. Clive Myers is now retired and living in the West Indies and we wish him all the very best.
